Sunny 3 bed house with distant sea views
Our sunny, light home is a 10 min drive from Sandbanks, two km from beautiful Poole Harbour. The house is situated in a quiet cul de sac with a wooden area at the back of the house. It's a 30 minute cycle to beautiful beaches, sailing schools; wind/kitesurfing, and a similar distance to the ferry for Studland nature reserve, Brownsea Island & Isle of Purbeck.
Two large double bedrooms, one large master suite upstairs with harbour and sunset views. It has a large sunny family room looking out to a sunny patio / garden.
There is a bbq, comfortable wicker seating for four plus sun umbrellas, a swing seat, shaded courtyard, bicycles, books and maps of the local area.
There are 26 steps up to the house, parking is available in the drive.
Local bistro's and pubs are a 5 minute walk, at Ashley Cross. The town centres are in Poole and Bournemouth 15 / 25 minutes by bus. Excellent rail links to London, nearest airport Bournemouth / Southampton.
We have lived here for 10 years, and are recently retired, ready to travel more widely.
We love our home and surrounding area! We also love travelling around Europe, and have enjoyed two house exchanges so far, both fabulous - in Aix en Provence and Calonge, Girona.
