Property Description

A delightful setting, moments from the harbour,is this charming character 4 bedroom, 3 reception room detached home, offering 2200 sq ft of accommodation with huge potential to extend and develop. This gem of a property is nestled into a secluded plot, with gate access at the rear that leads to a lane with a private slipway onto Poole Harbour.

The first floor has 3 bedrooms and a study, en suite shower room, and a family bathroom. There is an electric loft ladder, leading to a boarded loft with windows, to take advantage of the views. The garden is a delight, being south westerly facing and being bordered by establish trees and plants. A real sun trap!
