Marina Drive, Lilliput, BH14

14 Marina Drive has been owned and enjoyed by the same family for over 60 years.

This imposing four bedroom four bathroom detached residence offers one of the most desirable private plots that Lilliput has to offer and has undergone a complete program of alterations and improvements by the current owners resulting in a most desirable and long term family home.

Approaching the property via a block paved driveway, the entrance hall leads to all principal rooms.

A key feature of this home is the quality kitchen, dining and lifestyle space which opens up to the outside with a recently landscaped patio sun terrace and garden offering a pleasant wooded outlook. This space has been cleverly zoned to present three well defined areas and includes a useful utility area. There are two further reception rooms, a formal lounge connecting to the main living space and a separate snug/study to the front of the property. With a sizeable family room at the rear offering direct access to the garden, the accommodation on offer presents huge potential for a variety of uses and offers the perfect entertainment space to enjoy with family and friends.

Rising to the first floor, the requirements of most buyers are well matched with three good sized bedrooms and three bathrooms. The principal bedroom suite on the second floor is a particular feature with a lounge area and offers elevated green garden views and an ensuite bathroom.

We particularly love the location of this house being at the head of Marina Drive and our clients have certainly embraced the surroundings of the property by positioning windows and outside entertaining terraces to make the most of the substantial south-facing plot. The patio sun terrace adjoining the rear of the property is perfect for summer months, and the generous south-facing rear garden is ideal for families providing a safe and private environment.

The property also benefits from a detached garage with power and light, side access and a spacious blocked paved driveway providing off-road parking for various vehicles.
