Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This lakeside home in Dorset is a real find. It’s tucked away and peaceful, yet close to Sandbanks, the Jurassic Coast, and award-winning beaches, cafes, and restaurants. The real magic? Those panoramic lake and golf course views. You can enjoy them from the terrace, the bath, the bedroom balconies – or even the indoor pool and sauna. Outside, there’s a sports pitch, kids’ play area, a hot tub, plus a barbecue and pizza oven for easy dinners. And if you’re coming with a group, there are multiple lounges and game rooms, including a double-height play space with a slide and basketball. There’s a dedicated office, too, if you need to sneak in a bit of work.

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.
