Set on a substantial, well-established plot opposite Lilliput Sailing Club, this 1930s detached character house offers partial harbour views over Poole Harbour towards Brownsea Island. The layout includes three reception rooms, a fitted kitchen with breakfast bar, large utility/garden room and four good-sized bedrooms. A long driveway leads to a detached tandem garage and there is a generous, private rear garden with a wooded outlook and large patio — excellent for entertaining.
The property has been in the same family since 1971 and presents clear scope for improvement or complete redevelopment (subject to planning). Original features such as bay windows and an original fireplace remain, but the house would benefit from modernisation throughout — including potential updating of windows, kitchens and bathrooms — making it suitable for buyers wanting to add value or create a bespoke coastal home.
Practical notes: there is a single tiled bath/shower room plus a separate WC and guest cloakroom. Double glazing was installed before 2002 and heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators. Broadband speeds are reported slow and Council Tax sits in Band F (expensive). The location is highly convenient for local amenities, well-regarded primary schools and easy access to Sandbanks beaches, Poole and Bournemouth rail links.
