2 Bedroom Flat, VIEWS, VIEWS, VIEWS! Courtenay Road, Ashley Cross, Poole BH14

What it’s got.

As you walk into the grand entrance reception of this beautiful historic building you instantly breath in the character and charm. Walking up to the second floor you will find the entrance to the flat.

Starting off you have a lounge/diner with a working fire, perfect for cosy nights in during the winter months, you also have a panoramic view across the roof tops of Ashley Cross over to the harbour. The kitchen offers ample space and again enjoys lovely views. There are two generous sized double bedrooms both boasting high ceilings, views of the harbour and tastefully decorated. The original fireplace still remains in the master bedroom, meaning you could use this room as either a guest bedroom or second reception room. The main bathroom completes the accommodation.

Outside the building is surrounded by mature tree and shrub borders with a communal garden to the rear and plenty of off road parking which is on an ‘as & when’ basis. The views from here are breathtaking allowing your eye to see across the whole of Poole, towards the harbour, the Purbeck Hills and Sandbanks beach.

What the owners say.

“I have lived in this beautiful building for the last 9 years and have thoroughly enjoyed waking up to the stunning sea views every morning. I love both the character and history of the house and something which I will very much miss. It is a very quick walk down to the bars in Ashley Cross which i have found very convenient and use the train quite frequently which is a 10minute walk to Parkstone station.”

The History

This property has so much history we thought we share what we have been told, it was built in 1837 by Mr Patzka as a single dwelling as a high society manor house with acres of land attached now we believe where Courtenay Road and down to Dansie Close are. In the 1900’s it was then turned into Dorchester School and was run by Mrs Dansie the head teacher. Then in the 1950’s the school was converted into flats and became Highfield House.
