Now’s the time to snap up a seriously sizzling piece of real estate on the coast of England: a beautiful modern home perched on the hugely popular Evening Hill, an exclusive coastal area between Poole and Bournemouth. This spot is known for its natural beauty and micro climate (think mild winters and more sunshine than most of the UK!). The house, while exceptional within, is just 160m from Poole Harbour to deliver exceptional sea views.
The house was designed and built for the current owners but it’s sure to impress all with it’s spacious, bright and calming interior spaces. The ground floor is dominated by a stylish open-plan living and dining space with a sophisticated and well-designed kitchen.
The kitchen has a sociable breakfast bar that opens onto the dining area, with the whole space seeming to flow seamlessly onto the terrace that stretches the length of property, allowing events to spill out into the glorious grounds.
Back inside, the kitchen gains from an additional utility room that hides away all the large appliances. This can be entered via the backdoor, which makes it a useful place for staggering in with the shopping supplies and depositing muddy boots.
In addition to this charming communal space there are two further receptions rooms that can be earmarked as cosy snugs or a games room for the younger members of the family.
Indeed, there is no shortage of space across this property for various uses: there is a large room above the double garage available to adapt to the new owners’ whim. It’s currently in use as a games room, but could also be a study or a studio.
There are five bedrooms across the property, one of which is on the ground floor and provides a guest suite complete with bathroom and dressing area. Climb the stairs to find three further en-suite bedrooms, one of which is the impressive master bedroom.
The room bathes in light and boasts beautiful views towards the water, as you’d hope. The added thrill for the master occupant will be the spacious dressing area that neatly tucks away all the clothes and clutter.
The bathrooms – four bedrooms are en-suite while a family bathroom serves the final bedroom – are all understated but elegant, providing all the latest fixtures for washing in style, notably bathtubs and showers to cover all bathing urges.
If you climb up a final floor, the house has another spacious room (the fifth bedroom) currently in use as a study. This is, once again, a versatile space that can be turned to whatever purpose the new owner wishes. There is a small home gym in the property, but it could be relocated to this bigger space?
And the options for the active abound outside, where a large and beautiful pool sits in a pool ‘room’ which can open up completely to flow onto the terrace in the warmer months. The pool room can also be closed off, keeping out the inclement weather later in the year to allow swimmers to continue their immersions in comfort.
Alongside the pool is a sauna, which completes the work-out bundle of gym-sauna-swim and could prove welcoming after a session of watersports at nearby Poole Harbour.
The spacious terrace at the back of the house is designed to provide all the options needed for entertaining al-fresco. There are spaces for tables and chairs, different spots to enjoy depending on the time of day, and even an outdoor cooking area complete with pizza oven and a bar. Your parties are going to get seriously good..
Stroll down to the end of the southwesterly facing garden to find a terraced area ideally suited for admiring the kayakers and sailors on the water, or sipping a sundowner as the sun slips below the horizon.
This property is ideally located for getting to Poole Harbour, where there are masses of options for watersports, as well as beautiful cafes and restaurants (Rick Stein’s venue is very popular) and the expected amenities and independent shops, alongside theatres.
Getting in and out of this property is a breeze, with direct services to London in two hours from nearby Bournemouth train station. Bournemouth Airport is 10 miles away, while London Heathrow Airport can be reached in under 2 hours.
Education options won’t be difficult to source if you have younger people in the household, with many good local schools including Canford School, Bournemouth and Poole Grammar schools, Bournemouth Collegiate, Talbot Heath and Park School.
