Detached house for sale in Skylark, Dorset Lake Avenue, Lilliput BH14

All too often the property industry will advertise that a property ‘must be seen to be appreciated’ or that ‘internal inspection is highly recommended’. These statements aren’t a turn of phrase that we prefer to use, but every now and again we do have to make an exception.

Without doubt, this home has to be appreciated from within to appreciate not only the Harbour views, but also the considered design, flow of accommodation and feeling of light and space.

As soon as you step inside it becomes apparent that no expense has been spared in creating an outstanding property. From concealed ambient lighting and floor to ceiling doors more akin to luxurious Park Lane hotel suites, to the day-to-day conveniences of intelligent heating and an eco-considerate design, the property exudes quality on every level.

Not only does this property present superbly on an initial visit, it also easily passes the test of a more scrutinous second inspection. The reason for this is not just the first-class quality of the workmanship or standard of fixtures and fittings, it’s quite simply that the layout of the accommodation has a natural flow that’s highly conducive to everyday life. Examples of this are the flexible arrangement of rooms which allow visiting guests to enjoy privacy and occupy their on their own floor of the property, and the principal reception room being perfectly situated to allow for either grand scale entertaining or personal relaxation in an environment that provides a waterscape backdrop of Poole Harbour.

Day-to-day considerations such as secure garaging, a plant room and secondary reception room/media room complete the picture, as does the perfectly sized rear garden which is ideal for owners as both a permanent residence or a second a home.

In summary, we return to the overused phrase of ‘Internal Inspection Advised’ as there really is no way to appreciate the very essence of this home from a street view, a floorplan or even the professional photographs. Quite simply, it has to be seen to be believed and we would be delighted to show you this home so you can appreciate why it’s a firm favourite of ours.
