Description

This stunning, five bedroom house retains much of its period charm, however the present owners have refurbished and enhanced this impressive property to encompass modern day living standards, for buyers seeking style with substance. Situated in a fabulous location within walking distance to the beach, shops and all transport links. This spacious property provides versatile accommodation for all requirements, with the added bonus of a secluded south facing garden with heated swimming pool, cinema and separate games room. Whether this is your main or second home everyday will feel like a holiday.

Extensively redesigned and lovingly restored by the present owners, this beautifully presented home cannot help but impress, starting at the classical Edwardian timber-framed porch. The entrance lobby, with hanging space, leads into the reception hall, with high ceiling, Art and Crafts inspired staircase and feature fireplace, this most impressive area sets the tone and style to be found throughout the property. The dining room, with decorative fire place, sits centrally between the kitchen and one of the three reception rooms. These include, the formal lounge with working fire, an office, perfect for working from home and the smaller lounge which the family lovingly refer to as the snug. The stylish kitchen with marble worktops has a range of fitted units, integrated appliances, walk in larder and access to a south facing sun deck with views over the garden and swimming pool.

The lower level is presently all about fun and entertainment with a cinema and separate games room, however this could easily be a self-contained flat with a separate entrance, please see the floor plan for the layout. The first floor has two bedroom suites with private balconies, plus an additional bedroom with ensuite shower room. The top floor has two more bedrooms serviced by a family bathroom. Outside: The south facing garden has been created for low maintenance and maximum enjoyment. The heated swimming pool with surrounding paved terrace, leads on to a level lawned garden with seasonal flower borders, timber framed shed and outside shower/toilet facilities.  Features include: High ceilings, exposed solid wood flooring, deep skirtings, picture rails and decorative coving. Newly installed sun deck, balconies and double glazed windows.

Conveniently located equidistant between 'village' and beach - Westbourne 'village' to the north provides all that is needed for day-to-day living. From a highly regarded independent butcher to the much used Marks & Spencer's foodhall, a diverse range of restaurants and cafés and so much more. A pleasant 15 mins / 0.6m walk south of the property takes you via the leafy footpath of Alum Chine down to the award winning sandy beach, where you'll also find a popular children's play park and Italian restaurant. Acclaimed to be one of the most desirable places to live in the UK, this area of the south coast benefits from fantastic weather thanks to its microclimate, there are also numerous marinas and yacht clubs, as well as a host of watersports facilities to choose from.

Philippa Sole. Prepare to be Moved.

Curated by Pippa, we are Philippa Sole: imaginative in approach, eclectic in energy, and unwaveringly focused on delivering for our clients and selling beautiful homes:

  • Canford Cliffs
      • Branksome Park
        • Lilliput
        • Whitecliff
        • Lower Parkstone

  • Beyond traditional estate agency

    From Philippa Sole’s inception in 2016, Pippa set out to create something beyond traditional estate agency.

    What began as one woman’s vision has grown, nine years on, into a multi-award-winning collective of nine individuals from the worlds of retail, leisure, construction, media and property.

    Guided by Pippa, we are grounded in expertise, united by curiosity, defined by creativity, and driven by a shared commitment to our clients and their homes.

    “My business is built on personal recommendations and client referrals. I specialise in selling properties discreetly with approximately a third of my transactions not appearing on the open market but sold as whisper listings" — Pippa

    Not sure where to buy?

    We believe that value is defined by more than price; it is shown in the quality of our highly professional service.

    For clients unfamiliar with the area, we offer personal guided tours as well as video tours, sharing some of our favourite places to go, which are available online or on request.

    Come and meet us

    You’ll find us in our office in the heart of Ashley Cross, the vibrant hub of Poole’s café culture, lively conversation, and easy-going pub charm, where people of all ages blend together in happy vibes.

    “I maintain an office for formal meetings but have no traditional shop window, since this does little to enhance the sale process from the client’s perspective and does not reflect today’s digitally driven marketplace.” — Pippa

    We don’t have a traditional shop front. Instead, we invite you to make an appointment at our office, so we can dedicate time to sit with you and understand your bigger picture.

    After all, moving home is only part of life’s journey. Nothing gives us greater satisfaction than getting to know you, working holistically and wholeheartedly to help you make the life transition that inspires your decision to sell or buy.
