Main description
An exciting opportunity to purchase an exceptionally spacious character two double bedroom, first-floor apartment nestled in the charming location of Giddy Lake, a quiet, unmade road close to Wimborne town Centre.

We understand that Onslow House was a former substantial Victorian house initially built in 1896 and, more recently, was converted into six apartments.

You enter Onslow House via the central entrance portico, which leads to a large entrance lobby with further doors leading into the communal hall and a period decorative tile floor.

A staircase leads up to the first-floor landing, where the front door to the apartment leads into a welcoming reception hall with a feature skylight window that provides borrowed natural light.

Providing the wow factor is the magnificent triple-aspect living room, which has several double-glazed windows providing a southerly aspect to the rear with delightful far-reaching views across Wimborne.

The galley-style kitchen has matching floor and wall units, a range-style cooker, and space for essential appliances. A window provides elevated views.

The main bedroom is an impressive double bedroom with a double-height vaulted, beamed ceiling and original sash windows overlooking the front approach. This bedroom also benefits from an ensuite shower room.

The second bedroom is also an impressive double bedroom window with an elevated view to the side. To one corner of the room is a fitted shower cubicle and sink.

The main bathroom is also spacious, where you step up to an enclosed bath, pedestal wash basin, low flush WC, upright chrome ladder style radiator, and window to the front aspect.

Outside, Onslow house is approached off a gravel driveway, and there are parking spaces for residents. The flat comes with a single garage.

There are communal gardens for the residents to enjoy, and a gravel garden terrace provides views of the gardens and Wimborne Minster.
Agents Note: Please note that a portion of the grounds is held on a Lease by the owner of Flat 2

The property enjoys a share of the freehold with the remainder of a 999-year lease.
