Exceptional waterfront home, Poole Habour (UK), £7,750,000

Secure, gated entrance leads the way into the grounds of this exceptional property

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.

A view from above – how’s that for proximity to the ocean?

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.

Calming colours and lines echo the calming horizon in the open-plan living space

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.

Neat, sophisticated kitchen complete with breakfast bar

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.

A large utility room is a convenient yet stylish storage space

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.

Smaller, cosier reception rooms on the ground floor ensure there’s space and privacy for the whole household

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.

The large room above the garage is beautifully decorated and could serve many uses – a studio? Gym?

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.

Spacious bedrooms come with en-suite bathrooms and glorious sea views

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.

With four bedrooms having their own bathrooms, there is no shortage of space for washing however full the house

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?

The current gym is compact and could be re-located to a larger room if needed

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.

Long, sumptuous swimming pool is heated and covered, yet opens into the garden and terrace

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 addition of a sauna is a real ‘win’ for new potential owners

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..

The back garden has various terraces, seating areas, cooking areas and a ‘bar’, all with the glorious backdrop of the sea

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.

The end of the garden has a shaded terrace for watching the watersports

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.

This grand, modern and spacious property in a prime location won’t last long on the market

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.

Poole Harbour is a sought-after location for those passionate about watersports

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.

Nice (very) in Nice (France): 4-bed waterfront villa, €20,900,000

Stylish from the outside…even better within..

There is a reason that Nice is locally nicknamed ‘Nissa La Bella’ (or Nice the Beautiful). This is one of the most popular destinations in the glorious French Riviera and a luxurious four-bed villa has now become available in the sought-after Materlinck, Mont-Boron area. With cutting-edge design and exceptional views of the water, this villa is a dream house in one of the dreamiest locations on Earth.

The contemporary villa was designed to maximise its unbeatable location and the sea view

The villa was designed by the acclaimed contemporary architect Jean Nouvel and is a masterpiece of stainless steel, glass and natural elements that sits comfortably and complementarily in the landscape. Owners will love the innovative details of this property, such as a ‘green roof’ filled with native fauna for privacy and retracting windows that allow for a blurring of the interior and exterior spaces.

Sleek, elegant design touches add a sense of opulence amid the comfort of this home

The villa is arranged over two levels, boasting a stairway and a funicular (yes, you read that right) and provides around 550 sq m of living and dining space, all of which are designed to optimise the views.

That shimmering sea will still be there when you wake up to help you burst into the new day

There are four en suite bedrooms, each with it’s own private terrace and providing superb sea views from bed and bath.

Might be worth seeking a good window cleaner because they are vital to 360-enjoyment of this property

The main reception area is large and open-plan, providing the space for cooking, dining and lounging – ideal for entertaining! And of course there are those windows and that view…

The large reception area expands seamlessly onto the large terrace for the ideal entertaining space

The entire reception area can be opened to the elements to spill out onto the spacious terrace overlooking the infinity pool. This provides ample space for all guests, family members and visitors to find their perfect place, in sun or shade, inside or out.

The infinity pool is not only a stunning design feature – its also large and lappable

The villa sits on over 8,500 sq m of gardens and land to provide a peaceful and serene natural environment even on the edge of such a busy and glitzy city. It’s the ideal place to swim, eat, recharge and refresh before re-entering the glamourous rush of life on the French Riveiria.

The pool and grounds provide the peace and serenity sometimes lacking in the rush of downtown Nice

The property is perfectly placed for easy access to Nice and with the international airport just 4 miles away. Monaco is 20km away, while Cannes is 33km along the coast.

Nice is packed with independent and branded stores, restaurants, bars, museums and recreational facilities. There are stunning beaches to enjoy and the Promenade des Anglais to stroll along. When you tire of the bustle, the popular and idyllic Parc du Mont Boron is very close to the property and provides about about 11km of footpaths that are perfect for exploring and hiking, including a 1.5km trail with exercise stations.

And when the day is done, your beautiful bed awaits back at the stunning villa..
