Full Details for 5 Bedroom Detached for sale in Poole, BH14 :

We are delighted to offer to the market for the first time in eleven years this large and imposing family residence, beautifully constructed by renowned local builders, Whitelock. A substantial, five double bedroom, five bathroom family home set over four floors with harbour glimpses from the top floor.

Location

Evening Hill occupies a beautiful and very sought-after location, overlooking the shores of Poole Harbour, the second largest natural harbour in the world. Whilst quieter than Sandbanks, this stunning location with its picturesque backdrop offers a range of convenient local amenities, including superb world-class dining at Sandbanks, Lilliput and Canford Cliffs, all a short stroll or car drive away.

Evening Hill is a leafy, beautiful enclave of Poole, and its beauty has resulted in its being awarded a Conservation Area.

Moonshadow is located approximately halfway down Crichel Mount Road, a quiet, no-through road.


The Property

Sometimes, a property comes to the market that is quite unlike any other. It is our opinion that Moonshadow is one of these homes. A very large and imposing family residence, beautifully situated in one of Poole's most desirable enclaves, in a quiet no-through road just a short stroll from Evening Hill, with its incredible views.

A true family home with extensive, established and mature gardens including a forest area, zipline, tree-fort, hot tub, patio, decking, trellis walkway, and water fountain. This property really is unique and offers something for everybody.

Truly versatile living accommodation is on offer, with several very large spaces flexible enough for the ever-changing and demanding needs of modern family life. Space for everything from family coming to stay, friends, a cinema room, a sauna, a hot-tub, double garage, boat/dinghy storage, and even the aforementioned zipline as a slightly unique way to wind down.


Perhaps best left to the words of the current owners:

“We knew on our first viewing that this was where we wanted our children to grow up. They were 4, 7 and 9 then. We've been here 11 years. The “forest', the tree fort, the hot tub, the huge decks for summer breakfasts and barbecues, the playroom and beautiful living room for parties all ages from 5 to 80 have made indelible memories for us, our family and friends. We've loved it all! We are leaving because the kids have grown up and we just aren't all here enough now to do justice to this happy house. It's bitter sweet, leaving here, but it's time for somebody else to create some 'Moonshadow' memories”.
