In the prestigious Forsyte Shades development this spacious ground floor flat with private patio terrace enjoys gorgeous views across the golf course to the harbour beyond. A perfect opportunity for someone downsizing or relocating to create their ideal home.

Forsyte Shades is a very well-regarded development set in an elevated position overlooking Parkstone golf course and Poole Harbour. The property is approached by a sweeping gated driveway with beautifully kept communal gardens surrounding the block.

There is plenty of visitor parking and the apartment comes with a secure double garage situated on the lower ground floor. There is lift access from the parking level to the ground floor, or a short flight of steps up through the main pedestrian entrance.

The apartment is situated on the ground floor with the front door opening into a welcoming and spacious hallway. To the front of the property there are two double sized bedrooms, one of which has been presented as a study/snug, and a convenient shower room.

The rear aspect of the apartment enjoys spectacular views over the harbour. A palatial living/dining room offers so much space for relaxing and entertaining with access out onto a charming private patio terrace with a southerly aspect. The kitchen is well fitted with space for a breakfast table. The principal bedroom is very spacious with beautiful water views, plentiful storage and a generous ensuite bathroom. A guest w/c and built in cupboard storage in the hall complete the accommodation.

In addition to the communal gardens there is a residents’ swimming pool and sauna in the lower ground level. Stylish and well maintained this lovely feature is a real benefit for socialising, fitness, and relaxation.

This property represents a fantastic opportunity to update and remodel to create your perfect home. Offering almost 2,000 sq ft of flexible living space, a desirable and convenient location, and gorgeous far reaching harbour views rarely found in a garden level apartment, this would be an ideal relocation opportunity for a discerning buyer.

Forsyte Shades is set down a private driveway and is surrounded by Parkstone golf course to the south and Compton Acres gardens, a Victorian inspired gem with seven themed gardens across more than ten acres of plant collections to the north.

The enchanting coastal village of Canford Cliffs is your closest high street and offers an array of restaurants, local shops and amenities. The village offers picturesque walks leading to the award winning Blue Flag beaches and is home to some of the borough's oldest beach huts dating back to 1927.

Nearby, the internationally acknowledged, Sandbanks boasts the largest natural harbour in Europe (the second largest natural harbour in the world) with miles of golden sand and sheltered waters. It is perfect for either learning the latest water sport or simply lazing on the beach in the sun.

The Sandbanks Chain Ferry crosses the short stretch of water across to the Purbecks, giving access to Shell Bay, Swanage and the rest of the magnificent Jurassic coastline and stunning Purbeck countryside.

For eating out, the wonderful Rick Stein’s restaurant, next to Tailor Made’s office, is very popular and across the chain ferry is also the delightful The Pig On the Beach and Shell Bay. Sandbanks is also the home to the Royal Motor Yacht Club and Sandbanks Yacht Club
