Description
This substantial site, an expansive former residential care home, is set on the corner of Watkin Road and Florence Road. It offers a rarely available opportunity to create a sizeable scheme of new houses in an established and popular part of Bournemouth. The development is conveniently situated for local shops and facilities and is just a short walk from the many miles of sandy beaches. Outline planning permission has been sought for the construction of 13 x three storey, four bedroom townhouses with associated off road parking and gardens.
