5 bedroom detached house for sale

Stunning detached residence set back from the road in a prime location overlooking Poole Harbour in one of the area’s most prestigious Avenues

Description

Savills are delighted to offer for sale this stunning frontline detached residence overlooking Poole Harbour in one of the area’s most prestigious Avenues.

It occupies a desirable position opposite the shores of the Harbour providing the perfect base for water sports enthusiasts to enjoy windsurfing, kitesurfing, or paddle boarding, or to simply take time out to enjoy the activity on the water from the comfort of your own home.

There is a delightful waterside walk along the Harbour to the award-winning Sandbanks beach which is approximately 800 metres from the property, as well as the coffee shops, restaurants and convenient facilities of Lilliput that are just under a mile in the other direction.

This best-in-class harbourside home is set well back from the road behind electric gates and is approached via a large driveway that offers parking for a good number of cars. On entry, you are greeted by a good size reception hall with elegant and neutral interiors that offer glimpses of the water through the glazing. There is a truly magnificent open plan kitchen/living/dining area with designated zones for sitting and dining, the design of which cleverly maximises on the water views.

The superb modern fitted kitchen has an extensive range of integral appliances with an island and breakfast bar. The sitting room offers the best views from the ground floor with access out to a large sun patio where you can sit outside and enjoy the beautiful vista. There is a conservatory off the kitchen that overlooks the delightful rear garden. The integral tandem length garage has been fitted out like a sports car show room, with a clever glass walled study at the rear that enables a car enthusiast to see their collection whilst also enjoying the garden and natural light from the window.

The ground floor layout has been thoughtfully reconfigured by the current owners to maximise on the water views from the kitchen dining area and to create the current larger integral garage. If a new owner should like to alter the integral garage to create more living space in the main house this could be changed, subject to obtaining the required consents. The utility and cloakroom complete the accommodation on this level.

To the first floor, the main bedroom suite offers a real wow factor with an ultra-luxurious en suite that has dual sinks, a separate bath and shower, plus a superb dressing room with fitted wardrobes. This primary suite truly delivers on luxury living at its finest and boasts stunning harbour views with direct access on to two sun balconies. The current dressing room was formerly a bedroom, which could be converted back into a bedroom if required. There are a further three double bedrooms on this floor which all have fitted wardrobes, two of which are served by a shared family bathroom. Bedroom four also has the benefit of harbour views and access on to a sun balcony in addition to its own en suite shower room.

The two sun balconies provide the perfect viewing platforms to enjoy the water views and sunsets. The spacious and luxurious accommodation is arranged over just two floors, however there is exciting potential for the next owner to add a third floor to create further accommodation as per the current neighbouring properties, subject of course to obtaining the required consents and permissions to do this.

Externally, there are attractive landscaped borders to the front and rear with an array of hedging and planting. The level rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and is a good size for a harbourside home. There is a summerhouse in the garden that the present owners use as a gym.

We thoroughly recommend an in person viewing to fully appreciate all that this fantastic home has to offer.
