The Metropolitan, Sandbanks Road, Poole, BH15 2FP

What’s On Offer?
The Metropolitan building was finished in 2016, when an old Police Station was converted into 52 contemporary apartments. Residents here benefit from not only a lift to all floors, modern communal areas, a secure carpark and a gym, but also an enviable location. Poole Park is around 150 yards away, Poole Harbour & Sandbanks are very close by, it’s a short drive or bike ride to Bournemouth and Ashley Cross is just down the road. 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 Southampton & London Waterloo. 

Pull into your allocated parking space in the secure car park and dart inside. Up the lift, third floor, you’re home.

Inside.
You’ll feel at home the moment you step inside. Modern yet homely, fresh but cosy. The flat comprises of an open plan lounge-diner-kitchen area, a large bedroom and a luxurious bathroom, plus a storage airing cupboard.
The lounge is bright, thanks to two sets of contemporary double glazed windows, plus spotlights for the evenings. There’s space for a large sofa, coffee table and TV set up, plus a small dining table/chairs. The kitchen has plenty of workshop space, storage, stylish open cupboards for every day items and tiled splash backs. There’s an integrated fridge freezer, oven plus induction hob (extractor over), a dishwasher and 1.5 stainless sink. It all looks new to us, with hardy any wear and just as stylish as the day it was installed. We particularly like two features in this room: The lighting (a combination of rail spotlights, ceiling spotlights and handing pendants) and the recessed ceiling section above the lounge area…it’s just a bit different!

The bedroom is a great size, with space for a large bed, bedside units and large storage furniture. The same tilt and turn windows are found in here too, ensuring great ventilation. This room is neutrally decorated and once again, is in spotless condition- nothing needing doing in here!

The bathroom offers a soaking bath with rain shower over, a recessed shelf and an extra retractable handheld shower head. Fully tiled walls and flooring make cleaning a breeze, and the contrasting shower tiles are illuminated with hidden ceiling LEDs (snazzy!). The toilet cistern is hidden, furthering the modern theme, as does the basin, storage and hanging mirror. Crucially, there’s an extractor fan for those extra long showers! This room is also spotless, unsurprisingly. 
Back the hallway, there’s a large cupboard that houses the efficient water tank, plus there’s space and plumbing for the washing machine).

Who’s It For?
Individuals or couples waning a true turn key purchase, with no improvements needed. You can choose to paint the walls, or leave it in its perfect state. It’s for those looking for off-road allocated parking. It’s also ideal as an investment, as  homes at The Metropolitan let very fast! It’s also perfect for those wanting a fast deal, as this apartment is offered vacant, with no onward chain!

Oh…There’s a GYM!
Residents at The Metropolitan benefit from unlimited use of free weights, cardio machines and a yoga space in the communal gym. Complete with toilets, form mirrors and rubber flooring, you could easily save on a membership…or get a quick workout in when you can’t quite drag yourself to the gym!
