Set behind impressive oversized electric wooden gates, this cherished home has been lovingly held in the same family ownership for over 30 years - a true testament to the lifestyle and legacy of its exceptional front-line harbour location.

Surrounded by mature, impeccably maintained landscaping with an automated irrigation system, the private block-paved driveway provides ample parking and access to the double garage. Inside, the main living areas are intentionally elevated to maximize the sensational, panoramic views over Poole Harbour.

The first floor features light-filled reception spaces - including a living room, dining room, kitchen with adjoining utility, study, and a generous principal bedroom suite. The living room opens onto a spectacular c.266 sqft terrace, offering an unrivalled vantage point for entertaining against the backdrop of the water.

The private rear garden is beautifully presented, complete with an auxiliary workshop featuring its own WC and shower. On the second floor, three further double bedrooms (two capturing sweeping coastal vistas), two bathrooms, and a dedicated office provide excellent flexibility for family living.

Maintained with remarkable care throughout its three decades of ownership, this substantial residence represents an opportunity to secure a prime harbour-front position, with clear potential to modernise or extend (subject to planning) for generations to come.
