Brudenell Road, Canford Cliffs, Poole, Dorset, BH13

Rare opportunity to purchase a luxurious and spacious 3 / 4 bedroom duplex apartment in this exclusive Italianate block overlooking Poole Harbour. The property benefits from two receptions rooms, extensive terracing on both floors, oversized parking bays for two cars and secure single garage. One of only three homes in the very exclusive development.

Island Reach is an elegant and exclusive development containing just two palatial duplex apartments and one penthouse. Built in 1998 with an Italianate aesthetic, this lovely building enjoys an enviable elevated position overlooking Poole Harbour.

The property is fronted by a secure gated driveway, which leads into the underground parking area where there is two allocated parking spaces and a traditional single garage with an up and over door.

The front entrance is accessed up a short flight of steps, on entering the property one can take the lift or stairs to the first floor, where the front door to the apartment is situated. The door opens into a generous hallway, with double doors leading into the main living space measuring over 30ft wide approximately and offering panoramic views over the harbour. Zoned into lounge and dining spaces, this wonderfully bright and spacious room also has a sunroom alcove and french doors accessing a large balcony area.

The view is very special, looking out over the immaculate communal gardens to the harbour beyond. Beautiful at all times of the day, the vista here offers an ever-changing tableau of harbour life with kite surfers, paddleboarders, yachts and ferries all adding interest. In the evening the sunsets are truly spectacular.

Leading off the dining area is a good-sized kitchen that has been newly fitted with bespoke designer units and worktop and quality integrated branded appliances. There is a separate utility room with additional sink and space for laundry facilities.

A convenient office/study offering a quiet space to work from home and a guest cloakroom completes the first floor accommodation.

The bedrooms are situated on the ground floor accessed by stairs leading down from the main living space. The principal bedroom is a large and welcoming space with a lovely seating area overlooking the water and offering french door access to the terrace. There is a walk-in wardrobe and a large en suite bathroom with a shower and separate bath.

There are two further en suite double bedrooms to the front aspect. Bedroom four, which would equally make a cosy snug lounge or media room, has French doors onto a private terrace that stretches the full width of the property and features an extremely large walk-in wardrobe which has plumbing to fit a further en suite bathroom should you wish to do so.

All accommodation is luxuriously appointed and the floorplan is well organised to offer a comfortable, relaxing lifestyle whilst making the most of the stunning harbour views at every opportunity. With over approximately 3,000 sq ft of accommodation this lovely property would make a charming main residence or provide an ideal base for spending time in this popular location.
