Main Description
The GATEHOUSE has a rich and varied history. Originally a private residence prior to 1930, it later operated briefly as a hotel before being converted into holiday flats throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Today, the building continues to stand proud and has been in private ownership since 2012. Residents benefit from allocated off-street parking and a secure intercom entry system.

Entering the property through its own private entrance, you are welcomed into a modern fitted kitchen. The space is neutrally decorated with subtle coastal tones and features integrated appliances, ample under- and over-counter storage, and easy-care flooring.

A generous hallway connects all principal rooms and includes a large storage cupboard—perfect for household essentials such as a vacuum cleaner and additional items. The bathroom is exceptionally well presented, offering a white WC, hand basin with built-in storage, a full size, walk-in shower, glass screen, and a chrome heated towel rail.

The double bedroom is a comfortable and well-proportioned space, complete with carpeting and plenty of room for wardrobes, a vanity unit, and a king-size bed with space to spare.
The standout feature of the home is the impressive 18ft x 14ft lounge/diner. This versatile room is ideal for entertaining, relaxing, working from home, or enjoying meals around a dining table. It’s a welcoming space that adapts easily to your lifestyle.

With approximately 700 sq ft of accommodation, the property also includes one allocated off-street parking space. Additional on-street parking is available with a permit from the local authority.

Local amenities are all within easy walking distance, including supermarkets, restaurants, bars, and shops. Well-maintained pathways lead directly from the property to some of Bournemouth’s most celebrated attractions, such as the award-winning sandy beaches, Meyrick Park, and the beautiful Town Centre Gardens. Excellent transport links are also close by, making travel around the area simple and convenient.
