Warren Edge Road, BOURNEMOUTH, BH6 4AJ

This is a good example of densification of housing. Two of the original houses, such as those on the left of the picture have been demolished and been replaced with two small apartment blocks one of which is shown on the right. A building which once was just one living unit is thus replaced by a new building with six separate living units. 18-20 Church Rd was completed in March 2007 at a cost of approximately £1.0 million. It consists of two apartment blocks each with six two-bedroom apartments and associated parking and gardens. There is a fair bit of profit to be made as 12 apartments sell for approx. £2.6 million at the original price of £220,000. Even if the two plots cost £400k each, it is still £800k profit. The top floor flats sell for less as they have sloping ceilings. Currently the lower floor flats are on offer at local estate agents at £215k and the top floor flats at £150k.

A popular and well oversubscribed Catholic secondary school, St. Peter's covers the whole of Bournemouth plus Christchurch, Wimborne and parts of southern Hampshire as far afield as Lymington. It is on two sites, and this is the senior site, accommodating Years 9, 10 and 11 (age 13-16) and the sixth form.

This Edward VII-reign postbox, outside Image, could do with a lick of paint.

The well appointed De la Salle Theatre, at St Peter's Catholic Comprehensive School.

This public footpath leads from Sunnylands Avenue (behind us) to Hengistbury Road by crossing the grounds of St. Peter's School - it forms a boundary between the main school site (right) and its playing fields (left). The school is undergoing major building works, with considerable expansion, and as such there is a lot of temporary fencing between the works compound (left), which is accessed here, and the school. See Image for the view along the path from the road ahead, and Image for the next view on the path behind us, with links to further photos along the route, and continuing paths heading to Southlands Avenue and Belle Vue Road.

The dead end, here, of Hengistbury Road continues as a driveway for St. Peter's School, and also as public footpath number I14, directly ahead, leading to Sunnylands Avenue. The school is undergoing major building works, with considerable expansion, and as such there is a lot of temporary fencing here as the works compound is accessed from this point. See Image for the next view on the footpath ahead, with links to further photos along the route, and continuing paths heading to Southlands Avenue and Belle Vue Road.
