A wonderful character house, with the unique benefit of a private garden sauna, situated just a few minutes' walk from the shoreline of Poole Harbour, Whitecliff Harbourside Park, and Parkstone Bay Marina and within a 10-minute walk to the leafy Ashley Cross village with an array of shops, cafes, restaurants, and a quaint library. The location is perfect for enjoying the great outdoors with lots of space on your doorstep to walk, cycle and sail. The historic Poole Quay is also within walking distance and has a selection of places to eat and things to do, including boat trips to cruise around the harbour. A little further afield, the eight miles of Sandbanks' golden sands can be reached in a 10-minute bike ride, a short hop on the local open top bus, or a picturesque 45-minute walk.
A delightful entrance porch and hallway welcomes you inside and in turn leads to a light and spacious open plan kitchen with an island and high quality appliances, including Smeg and Bosch, a dining table for up to eight, and a living area that opens onto the private garden via bifold doors. The garden offers additional space for relaxation with outdoor seating for six, easy chairs with footstools, and a large outback gas bbq to cook up a feast for the family.
The ground floor also offers a cloakroom and a separate snug room wth a TV and wood burner – the perfect spot for a quiet movie night or for the kids to have some separate chill out space.
The character hallway leads upstairs to three beautifully decorated bedrooms with cool, coastal colours and a bright and breezy atmosphere. The two larger bedrooms both have king size beds and the third bedroom is smaller and suited to children with a child's single bed and storage unit.
Stairs then lead up to the top floor bedroom and en suite which has a large walk-in shower. This is a beautifully light and airy bedroom with a king size bed and good storage.
Outside, the private garden is perfect for post-beach barbecues, while the new sauna is the ultimate way to relax and recharge.

The local area
Poole is a lively coastal town in a sheltered position, nestled between Bournemouth and the World Heritage Jurassic Coastline on the stunning South Coast of England – a naturally beautiful place to spend your holiday, at any time of year.
Known for being Europe’s largest natural harbour, with its crystal clear waters and some of Britain’s best sandy beaches, it’s a haven for sailors and wildlife, and the perfect place to try your hand at any water sport imaginable.
There are plenty of exceptional beachside cafes, restaurants, pubs and bars to choose from, making it a great place to relax with friends. Poole is also a fantastic shopping hub with high street stores, independent shops and boutiques and the Dolphin shopping centre all offering ample opportunities for retail therapy.
Poole’s vibrant bustling quayside is a great spot to soak up the atmosphere of this historic maritime port, with its pirate heritage. Wander round the cobbled streets to take in the sights of the historic old town, visit the free entry Poole Museum to discover Poole’s story, and follow the traditional cockle trail.
For an adventurous day out, take the ferry across to Brownsea Island, home to red squirrels, kingfishers and oystercatchers. Nearby Studland Nature Reserve is another highlight for nature lovers, wildlife spotters and ramblers, whilst the dramatic dunes and heathlands are home to many species of wildlife and provide a beautiful scenic landscape.
From Poole you can easily access the magnificent Jurassic coast that reveals 185 million years of Earth’s history across a 95 mile span of coast between east Dorset and east Devon.
