Colour Pop Poole, Dorset

Property Description

If you’re on the lookout for a chic seaside pad for a family gathering, it’s here. This four-bedroom home stands on a leafy street, seven minutes from the sea, within easy walking distance of Ashley Cross village.

There is bags of space inside and out. On sunny days, throw open the double doors from the lounge into the sprawling enclosed garden. Here the kids can frolic on the lawn while the grown-ups set the world to rights in the sunken hot tub or sauna.

The kitchen is big and kitted out with everything you need. It’s a great vibe here. We love the odd pop of statement wallpaper here and there.

Spend days discovering the local beaches. Head to Sandbanks, Flaghead Chine and Branksome Chine. Each has a private beach hut with a stove, deck chairs and games which you're welcome to use for a small fee. They belong to the host so feel free to claim them for your entire stay. The local town has plenty of top-rated restaurants. Or burn off some energy in Poole Park where there are 110 acres of walking trails, lakes and woodland.
