Full Description: From treehouse adventures and games of table tennis, to a bottle of wine brought up from the cellar and enjoyed beside the open log fire. From laughter around the family dining table to music drifting through the grand entrance hall. This is a house that has been lived in, loved and truly made a home.<br /><br />For the past 20 years, this charming house has been home to one family, the rooms having witnessed the everyday moments that make a house a home. Set behind double gates and surrounded by mature planting, the property has a wonderfully private and secluded feel. There is ample parking and generous outside space, giving the house an almost country-house atmosphere, yet it sits within the sought-after Parkstone area with an array of local amenities all within walking distance.<br /><br />The accommodation provides four/five bedrooms, a family bathroom and a useful ground-floor shower room, with the house offering that increasingly sought-after combination of character, space and flexibility<br /><br />Step through the front door and the character continues. An elegant wrap-around staircase rises from the grand entrance hall, where a piano and grandfather clock create an unmistakable sense of personality.<br /><br />At the heart of the home is the spacious kitchen and dining area, a room designed around family life. This is where laughter has filled the room, where meals have been shared and where the family has gathered around the table over the years.<br /><br />The lounge provides a different kind of atmosphere, with French doors opening onto the extensive garden and an open log fire providing the perfect place to retreat on colder evenings. There is something wonderfully comforting about settling down beside a real fire, perhaps with a bottle of wine fresh from the small underground wine cellar. <br /><br />Outside, the garden has its own story, it has grown and evolved alongside the family once a football pitch to house a skateramp. Today it is a tranquil and established garden, with two raised flower beds, mature planting and a charming veranda creating a peaceful place to sit and enjoy the surroundings.<br /><br />There is still plenty of space for family life, with a treehouse, room for patio furniture and a ping pong table, while the secure gated garden provides an ideal environment for children and pets.<br /><br />Urban living, with a village community on your doorstep<br /><br />One of the real pleasures of this location is that you don't have to get in the car to enjoy the local community.<br /><br />Take a stroll down the hill to Ashley Cross, and you arrive at a much-loved local hub with a wonderful independent feel. The community is served by its own collection of familiar faces and local businesses — from the butcher and fishmonger to the florist, coffee shops, beauty salons, pubs and restaurants, together with a post office.<br /><br />It is the sort of place where you can walk down for a morning coffee, pick up something for dinner, meet friends for a drink or simply enjoy the atmosphere of a community that still has a strong local identity.<br />For those with sea legs, there are local yacht clubs, marinas and watersports to enjoy, while those who prefer to stay on dry land can choose from a selection of prestigious golf courses. With something for all ages and interests, the local area offers a wonderful lifestyle for the whole family.<br />For those travelling further afield, the local railway station provides services towards London, adding another layer of convenience for commuters and those who want to combine the relaxed pace of living in Parkstone with easy connections further afield.<br />And then, after enjoying everything Ashley Cross has to offer, you can walk back up the hill, close the double gates behind you and return to your own private world.<br />This isn't a house that has simply been decorated and prepared for sale.<br />It has had a life.<br /><br />Freehold <br />Council Tax: BCP Band D £2,436<br />Parkstone Railway Station 0.5 Miles <br />Poole Hospital 1.7 Miles <br />M&S New Food Hall 1.3 Miles<br />John Lewis 1.3 Miles <br />Majestic Wines 0.5 Miles <br />Within a 5 Minute walk Tesco Express, Parkstone Fisheries, Butchers, Post office, Hairdressers, independent coffee shops, restaurants, and bars.<br /><br /><br />Buyer's Note<br />Successful buyer’s will be required to complete online indemnity checks provided by Lifetime Legal.
