Lulworth Avenue, Poole, BH15

Link Homes Estate Agents are delighted to present this unique five-bedroom detached chalet bungalow with an annexe, designed for multi-generational family life and working from home. A home for three families since 1935, this house is a keeper with 2,296ft2 and many standout features. The current owners are moving to downsize.

The core of the house is the large open plan kitchen/living room/dining room, which has bi-fold doors leading to the patio and provides flexible space for family life as well as superb entertainment space for parties. Connecting to this room is the self-contained annexe, which has its own living room, bedroom, and shower room. This currently provides the grandmother with a comfortable living space that can be separate from the family, but it could alternatively make a delightful home office with room for employees and to meet with clients. At the front of the house, there is a snug lounge, which has a 1930’s Rayburn woodburner, and there is a separate office/library. Both have bay windows and are connected by French doors. These rooms are ideal for quiet relaxation, work, study, and playing music and games in front of the fire.

The wood and tile flooring is perfect for sandy feet and paws coming back from Hamworthy Park, Lake Pier Beach or one of the slipways. The large, mature garden is great for kids and dogs and includes a raised bed with raspberries and strawberries.

Located in the affluent Hamworthy Park area of Poole, the house has level walking access to all the bars and restaurants on the Town Quay (1 mile). It is an even shorter walk to Poole Yacht Club (.6 miles), to Lake Yard Club (.4 miles), the Yachtsman Pub (.2 miles). Hamworthy Park is on Lulworth Avenue and is popular for the paddling pool, café, beach huts, beach, windsurfing access, dog walking and the gorgeous views of the Purbecks. There are two public slipways around the corner (on Branksea Avenue and on Lake Road). And, Lake Pier, with its beach, sunset view up the Wareham Channel, dog walks and the Canoe Club is also a short walk away. Hamworthy is on the Southwestern edge of Poole, which means a short drive to the Dorset countryside.

There is room to park four cars and two ways to charge electric cars (a standard three pin plug and a Menekes Type 2). The 4kw solar panel array is fully owned and has a tariff that provides a small payback every quarter. The large garden shed has electricity, a work bench, and is built upon a concrete pad.
