This substantial detached residence sits in generous grounds on the inner reaches of Poole Harbour, the second largest natural harbour in the world, with enviable and uninterrupted views across the water to the Purbecks beyond.

The property, which was built in the 1950’s, has been in the same ownership for more than 50 years and provides a rare opportunity for prospective buyers to acquire a family home in such a unique and desirable location. All the neighbouring properties are of high quality and beautifully presented. There is a real community spirit in this delightful enclave. Positioned to maximise the outstanding views – accommodation on all three floors overlooks the beautifully landscaped gardens and the harbour beyond.

On the ground floor the generously sized sitting room has a bay window and sliding glazed doors leading out to the patio. The well equipped kitchen has a connecting door to the dining room which in turn has sliding glazed doors to the patio and from the inner lobby there is access to a larder/utility room which also has doors leading to outside. In the main hallway there is a cloakroom and understairs storage cupboard and the study overlooks the front and side of the property.

On the first floor there are three double bedrooms, each with ensuite facilities and on the second floor there is a further double bedroom, also with ensuite shower room.

Outside there is ample off road parking to the front of the property and gated access to the grounds to the rear of the house. There is also a detached triple garage and adjoining workshop, as well as a garden room providing additional social space or a quiet spot for relaxation! With the necessary consent, these facilities could easily be converted to further accommodation or even a granny annexe.

The grounds are undoubtedly a notable feature – neatly maintained and beautifully landscaped with mature specimen trees, along with feature and border planting. A timber framed gazebo with tiled roof nestles close to the rear boundary in the shade of a mature copper beech tree – an ideal observation point for wildlife and harbour views!

Although occupying a secluded and private spot, the property is within easy reach of the many south coast towns, amenities and places of interest just on the doorstep. There are a number of well-regarded private and state schools in the area including Dumpton School, The Yarrells, Castle Court, Canford, Bryanston and Clayesmore along with reputable Poole and Parkstone Grammar Schools and Lytchett Minster senior school. There are lovely countryside walks locally and along the World Heritage Jurassic Coast footpaths to the south. Sailing and other water sports can be enjoyed in Poole Harbour along with award winning sandy beaches from Bournemouth to the Sandbanks peninsular. Other amenities within easy reach include the National Trust Estate of Kingston Lacy, whilst a few miles north is the Cranborne Chase – an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and to the east, the New Forest National Park.

It is an easy commute to the Bournemouth/Christchurch/Poole conurbation for those working in the area. The main road network links to the A31 and M27/M3 to London are easily accessible and the express train from Poole to Waterloo ensures the city is within reach in a couple of hours. For wider travel, there are airports at Bournemouth and Southampton and a ferry terminal at Poole.
