Set on a generous plot in the prestigious Elms estate, this three-bedroom detached chalet offers comfortable family living just minutes from Poole Harbourside. The ground-floor bedroom and cloakroom add practical flexibility for multigenerational households or guests, while the dual-aspect lounge/diner and modern replacement kitchen create a bright, sociable heart to the home. The wrap‑around gardens and attached garage increase usability and outdoor appeal.
A key strength is the approved planning permission to extend and develop, so buyers can enlarge living space or reconfigure the layout to suit growing family needs (plans available). The property sits within the sought-after Lilliput & Baden Powell school catchment and is a short walk to coastal paths, Whitecliff Park and local amenities — a genuine lifestyle advantage for families and active buyers.
Buyers should note a few practical points: the EPC is a D, and the double glazing dates from before 2002, so there may be scope to improve energy efficiency. Council tax is described as expensive. The house was built in the late 1960s–1970s, so while comfortable and well presented, some buyers may wish to update services or finishes over time.
Overall, this home is a solid family property with immediate liveability and clear potential to increase value through the already-granted extension. It will suit buyers seeking a sunny, seaside-adjacent location with excellent schools and scope to personalise the space.
