What the Owner Says

“It has been a complete pleasure to have lived in this house for the last 14 years. The location is perfect, offering a wonderful outdoor lifestyle, while the house itself lends so well to entertaining and hosting family and friends. Our sons relocated from London and lived with us temporarily before settling locally, which has allowed us to play a big part in our grandchildren’s lives and see them thrive at the outstanding schools of Lilliput and Baden Powell. With everyone settled, we now feel it is time to downsize though we plan to remain in the area to enjoy everything it has to offer.”

Where it is

This home is ideally situated in the centre of Lilliput village just a short walk from the shoreline of Poole Harbour and Salterns Marina. The local infant school (lilliput) is moments away, while Lilliput Parade home to the award-winning Mark Bennett Patisserie, Koi Noi Thai restaurant, TJ’s Fish & Chips and Tesco Express is a short stroll in the opposite direction. From here, you can wander down to the marina and harbour. The blue-flag beaches of Sandbanks are within easy reach by foot, bike or car, and both Poole and Bournemouth town centres are conveniently accessible. Also, close by is Parkstone Golf course and Parkstone Bay Marina and the iconic ‘Evening Hill’ viewpoint is just a short walk away.
