Hermitage Road, The Hermitage, BH14

This delightful and spacious character apartment is in a historic building at the end of a private lane in Lower Parkstone, Poole, offering a peaceful and semi-rural retreat. Thoughtfully updated and refurbished by the current owner, the property combines original charm with modern comfort in a tranquil setting.

The accommodation through a private barn-style stable door includes a well-appointed newly fitted kitchen, a separate utility room, a generously sized lounge, a large master bedroom, and a shower room with an additional WC.

Notable features include bespoke fitted shutters in the lounge and bedroom, a newly installed consumer unit, secondary glazing to enhance the charming leaded windows and electric heating. The property also benefits from ample parking, charming communal grounds, a 151-year lease with no ground rent, a manageable service charge, and no forward chain.

The Hermitage is a pet-friendly complex, built in the late Victorian era, is nestled in the leafy hills of Lower Parkstone and offers one of the finest views across Poole Bay from its tower. The building was partially rebuilt in 1928 before being converted into apartments in the 1990s, preserving much of its original character.

The complex is set in a secluded location, surrounded by mature trees, lush foliage, and steep banks, creating a sense of privacy and intrigue. From the rear of the property, the tower can just be glimpsed through the trees, adding to the property's unique charm and historic allure.
