" Great House. Great Home. Great Location. Walking distance to both Penn Hill and Ashley Cross, this 3 double bedroom property on a 3500 sq ft plot has a South East facing back garden, garage plus off road parking for up to another 6 cars, and a new kitchen. The vendors are moving after 12 years here.

Home to the front door into the hallway or back door into the kitchen, newly fitted last year to a beautifully coloured design with a new breakfast bar, Bosch double oven and grill, LED lights and sizeable extra storage. Off the hall way is the living room and dining area which is almost 8 metres long with french doors to the back garden decking. Also on this level is a newly fitted cloakroom/utility room. The hall stairs and landing give a feeling of space and light which floods into what is a light and airy home. Upstairs there are 3 good size double bedrooms, a large exquisitely laid out bathroom with an airing cupboard with a Worcester 28i combi boiler. From the landing there is a large loft space.

The back garden is lovely, South East facing with sun all day until cocktail time, enjoyed before supper on the decking. It is so warm that lemon trees grow here. The garage helps enclose and maintain the privacy of the garden. It has power and light and a recent new garage door.

Those of you who are local will know about the communities of Penn Hill and Ashley Cross. Must do's include a visit to Mark Bennett's award winning artisan Patisserie for the best sausage rolls in the universe, go to the famous Party in the Park on Ashley Cross green, play Boules there too after breakfast at Le Bateau, have a night out at Mr Kyps, the area's HQ for tribute bands with a drink before at the Bermuda Triangle. Or for a special event, dinner at the Ox or the Cruel Sea. All without taking your car out of the drive, or forking out for a taxi.

Further afield but walkable is Whitecliff Park, ideal for teaching the kids to ride their bikes or to kick their first football. In the park there is a playground, and organised junior football. From here you can walk into Poole along the edge of Poole Harbour, which is the 2nd largest natural harbour in the world. In Poole Park, there is more family fun and entertainment and a stroll along the quay is not to be missed........fish and chips, cockles, traditional old town Poole pubs, or gaze in awe at the Sunseeker yachts.

Of course the harbour is haven to boats of all sizes with lots of yacht clubs, marinas, and slipways. Even if the water is not for you it is spectacular viewing to watch the windsurfers and kitesurfers in action in this UK hub for the sports.

The area has a strong cycling community with a highlight being to take the chain ferry to Studland and explore the Purbeck Hills. And Dorset's Jurassic Coast is a key destination for walkers.

For lazier days, there are the famous beaches at Sandbanks, part of 7 miles of award winning beaches.

Of course there is work too. The area has become a significant employer in the South of England with the headquarters of LV, JP Morgan, Vitality, Barclays International, Sunseeker Marine, RNLI and Merlin Entertainments. The commerce in the area has been boosted by the new Twins Sails bridge.

For travel out of the area, you are 5 minutes walk to Parkstone railway station with direct routes to London and Manchester. It is a couple of miles to the Wessex Way with at least dual carriageway to the New Forest, Southampton and the UK motorway network. And Bournemouth International Airport is the fastest growing in the country. The bus service to Poole and Bournemouth is excellent. And you are minutes from Poole Quay where the ferries sail to France and the Channel Islands.

By the way, after a hard day in London, a pint at The Cow by the train station is a treat.

To complete the picture of this location the schools are excellent. At primary level, Courthill infants and Baden Powell and St Peters and at secondary level, St Edwards. All are Ofsted rated good.

Poole Hospital is less than 5 minutes by car. The doctors surgeries are at Lilliput and the Parkstone health centre. Parkstone Dental Practice is a few hundred yards away.

A great home in a wonderful location but with the opportunity to put your own stamp on it.
