Lilliput Road, Lilliput BH14

Set discreetly behind a mature retaining hedge with a gated entrance, this charming and substantial character home occupies an enviable corner plot, providing additional outside space and a wonderful sense of privacy.

Having been significantly extended by the current owners, the property beautifully combines the timeless appeal of a traditional home with the comforts and functionality expected of contemporary living. Throughout, a wealth of original features have been carefully retained, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that immediately conveys a true sense of home. The thoughtfully designed extension complements the age and character of the property perfectly, incorporating elegant architectural details including arched double doors opening onto the garden and a feature porthole window.

The ground floor offers exceptional living accommodation centred around an impressive open-plan arrangement. Best described as "broken-plan", the living spaces flow seamlessly around the footprint of the house, creating a layout that is equally suited to large-scale entertaining and everyday family life. Distinct yet connected areas provide flexibility and intimacy. A second separate reception room, currently arranged as a formal dining room, offers further versatility and could equally serve as an additional sitting room, playroom or generous home office. A practical utility/boot room and separate cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor comprises of four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The principal bedroom suite is a particularly impressive space, featuring a vaulted ceiling that enhances the feeling of volume and light, together with a private en-suite shower room. Bedrooms two and three are both generous double rooms, whilst the fourth bedroom is a delightful room enjoying far-reaching glimpses towards Poole Harbour.

Externally, the gardens wrap around the property, enhancing both privacy and enjoyment of the outside space. The front garden is well screened from the road, whilst generous side access extends along both sides of the house, one being particularly wide and ideal for the storage of larger outdoor equipment, water sports gear or bicycles.

To the rear, a landscaped garden features a curved patio terrace leading onto a lawn surrounded by mature planting and established borders. At the far end of the garden, an elevated decked seating area enjoys a pleasant outlook, whilst a hardstanding area with double gates provides access onto Dean Swift Crescent. Subject to the necessary consents for a dropped kerb, this area offers potential to create off-road vehicular parking.

Offering immense character, generous proportions and an exceptional position close to the harbour, this is a rare opportunity to secure one of Lilliput's true landmark homes and a property of genuine distinction within the local area.
