5 bedroom detached house for sale

Exceptional Frontline Detached Residence Overlooking Poole Harbour

St Quintin Estate Agents are delighted to present this stunning detached residence, set in one of the region’s most prestigious avenues and enjoying breathtaking, frontline views of Poole Harbour. Positioned well back from the road behind electric gates, this home offers a rare combination of privacy, luxury, and unrivalled waterside vistas, all within one of the South Coast’s most sought-after postcodes, BH13.

This property occupies an ideal location for water sports enthusiasts, with direct access to windsurfing, kitesurfing, paddleboarding, or simply enjoying the harbour from your own sun terrace. A scenic waterside walk leads directly to the award-winning Sandbanks Beach, approximately 800 metres away, while the vibrant cafes, restaurants, and boutique shops of Lilliput are just under a mile in the other direction.

Accommodation
Set behind electric gates with a generous driveway offering ample parking, the home welcomes you with a spacious reception hall featuring elegant, neutral interiors and subtle glimpses of the water. The ground floor showcases a truly remarkable open-plan kitchen, living, and dining space, thoughtfully zoned to maximise the stunning harbour views. The modern kitchen features a comprehensive range of integrated appliances, an island, and breakfast bar, while the sitting room opens onto a large sun terrace – the perfect vantage point to enjoy the ever-changing harbour scene. A conservatory overlooks the well-maintained rear garden, and the integral tandem-length garage has been cleverly transformed into a showroom-style space with a glass-walled study at the rear.

The first-floor principal suite is a masterpiece of contemporary luxury, boasting dual sinks, a separate bath and shower, a generous dressing room, and direct access to a stunning sun balcony with panoramic harbour views. Three further double bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an additional balcony which provides

the perfect viewing platform to enjoy the abundance of marine activity and stunning islands.

N.B. Further accommodation could be added via a third floor, subject to consents and in the agents opinion would add strong value.

Exterior
Landscaped borders, mature hedging, and a level rear garden provide both beauty and functionality, while a summerhouse currently used as a gym adds a versatile space for leisure or hobbies.

Location
Beautifully positioned in arguably the best location to enjoy the views of Brownsea Island, this stunning property benefits from a micro-climate with milder winters and more sunshine hours, outstanding natural beauty, and close proximity to pristine beaches, local parks, and numerous recreational facilities. The area is famed for its excellent dining scene, wellness amenities, championship golf, and easy access to nearby towns and transport links.
