Live the high sea life at this luxurious apartment, set in Poole’s desirable Ashley Cross neighbourhood and just an eleven-minute drive from the millionaire’s row of Sandbanks. Inside, this pristine apartment perfectly fits the bill for this well-heeled neck of the woods. The high ceilings and original period fireplace set the scene, while the designers dialed up the glamour. Think deep, highly-sinkable velvet sofas and high shine, quality finishes – all flooded with natural light thanks to those vast bay windows offering up views across the green park. While over in the serene, restful bedrooms, one big hug of a bed awaits with both rooms offering king-sized beds. When it’s time to explore further afield, take your pick from the sandy shores of Sandbanks and Bournemouth or historic Poole Quay - you’re placed equidistance from them all (a fifteen-minute drive). Or just stay local for a mooch across the green to the independent stores and cafes of Ashley Cross’ high street (just two minutes from your door) – you’ll be in good company. Or up the ante with watersports on Poole Park's boating lake – just a twenty-minute walk away.

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...
