With plenty of natural light and feeling like a home, this house on the outskirts of Poole is a cosy base perfect for exploring all Dorset has to offer. The large garden has plenty of space for relaxing and alfresco dining (with food prepared in the well-equipped kitchen), so we don't think you'll mind having a small living room here. You've also got flexibility in sleeping arrangements, with three bedrooms being either doubles or twins depending on your needs. The two parking spaces make day trips a breeze – Poole, Bournemouth, vast beaches and natural harbours are all a short drive away.

- No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.

About Poole
The coastal town of Poole is home to Europe's largest natural harbour. Wander around the historic quayside with its impressive ships and luxury powerboats, or admire the Georgian architecture in the Old Town. In the middle of Poole Harbour, tiny Brownsea Island, famous for Lord Baden-Powell's scout camps, contains paths that meander through beautiful woods and heaths, where you'll see red deer, peacocks and red squirrels. Make sure you stop...
