Description
This contemporary apartment at The Observatory boasts a beautifully designed interior and offers breathtaking panoramic views from the apartment itself as well as from the communal rooftop terrace. Additional features include ALLOCATED PARKING and a private storage locker.
Large opening windows keep things bright and airy throughout the day and thanks to being raised above street level (with lift access), the home is secure whilst you’re away at the beach! Through the main door with CCTV coded entry system, you’ll find well-maintained communal halls, stairways and a lift to all floors, including the basement for storage access.
Upon entering the apartment, you'll be welcomed by a spacious foyer bathed in natural light, courtesy of a large window, with ample room to create a functional workspace if desired. This contemporary flat exudes a wonderfully homely vibe, accentuated by high-quality finishes and modern appliances, including new white goods, an app-controlled heating system, a luxurious bathroom, and generously sized rooms. You’ll immediately feel at home in spaces featuring a fresh, modern color palette, complemented by light gray laminate flooring in the main living areas and plush light beige carpeting in the bedroom. LED downlights throughout provide a warm and stylish ambiance.
The open-plan living, dining, and kitchen space enjoys natural light throughout the day. The kitchen is equipped with integral appliances, including a fridge, freezer, dishwasher, oven, induction hob, and extractor fan. Under-cabinet lighting adds a touch of elegance in the evenings, highlighting the stunning tiled splashbacks and ample worktop space. The bathroom is impressively spacious, featuring off-the-floor vanity units, cabinet storage, a rain shower over a generously sized bath, and a concealed toilet cistern—all in like-new condition
The generously sized, square-shaped bedroom easily fits large furniture. Enhanced by excellent glazing, the room remains quiet and can comfortably accommodate a king-size bed. With well-proportioned rooms, high-quality materials, and thoughtful design, this property offers buyers worry-free living in a spectacular location.
The apartment's front door is conveniently located near the lift, making it easy to collect deliveries, unload shopping, and make quick exits. The allocated parking spot is a rare and valuable feature in this area, as not all apartments offer one. Situated near the main entrance, it ensures effortless access and convenience for coming and going.
This apartment also includes the added benefit of a private storage locker located below ground level—ideal for safely storing paddle boards, holiday decorations, and any other items you need tucked away. Additionally, there is a secure, communal bike storage room with pin-controlled access for added convenience.
Make your way up to the huge communal rooftop terrace equipped with tables, sitting benches and sun loungers to enjoy spectacular views of Poole Park and the surrounding area, with Brownsea Island and The Purbeck Hills visible in the distance.This is an awesome panoramic backdrop to host friends and family for any occasion- firework night, new years, sunset dinner and drinks or just somewhere to sun yourself.
The Observatory is very close to Poole Harbour & Sandbanks, a short drive or bike ride to Bournemouth, and right on the doorstep of Ashley Cross. Amenities, public transport and nightlife are within walking distance, without being TOO close, for when you’re having a quiet one in! Parkstone train station is a 10min walk and gives direct routes to London Waterloo.
Not all apartments here have allocated parking, nor a private storage locker...This really is a great opportunity to secure a well-rounded, sorted apartment for yourself, or as an investment.
