West Ridge, a beautifully restored detached property built in the early 1900s, is located in the charming suburb of Boscombe, Dorset, just a short stroll from the beach. The home retains much of its original character, featuring historical fixtures, fittings, and furniture that contribute to its unique charm. Upon entering, guests are greeted by a grand entrance hall adorned with a stained-glass window and original parquet flooring. The spacious sitting room, enhanced by large windows that invite natural light, serves as a perfect social hub, complete with an eye-catching feature fireplace, ideal for cozy movie nights.

The kitchen is well-equipped with an extensive range of units and amenities, making it a delightful space for the designated chef to prepare meals. Dining can be enjoyed at a family table, with an attractive sunroom nearby that offers a peaceful retreat for reading or relaxation, enhanced by glass double doors that open to the fresh sea breeze. The garden is a standout feature, boasting a lush lawn perfect for picnics and a unique garden room that provides a serene setting to enjoy evening drinks surrounded by mature trees and vibrant shrubs.

Upstairs, guests will find three tastefully decorated bedrooms, each showcasing historic features and unique décor that add to the property's character. The accommodations include a large super-king-size room, a double, and a twin, all equipped with ample storage for personal belongings. After a day of beach activities, guests can unwind with a soak in the bath or a refreshing shower. The property is conveniently located opposite Shelley Park and Shelley Manor, the historical residence of poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, offering an intriguing excursion for visitors.

With Bournemouth Beach just a short walk away, guests can easily enjoy sunbathing and water activities. The area is rich in local amenities, including shops, pubs, and eateries. Nearby attractions such as Boscombe Pier provide opportunities for volleyball, table tennis, and mini-golf, while summer fireworks and various entertainment options add to the vibrant atmosphere. Adventure seekers can explore Adventure Wonderland Theme Park or Splashdown waterpark, while scenic locations like Poole, Milford-on-Sea, and the New Forest National Park are within easy reach, offering a variety of outdoor activities and picturesque walks. West Ridge serves as a superb base for experiencing the delights of Bournemouth and the surrounding South West region.
