We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Harbour Views & Coastal Charm, Just Moments from the Shore Line & Historic Poole Quay Situated just moments from the shoreline and enjoying breathtaking panoramic views across Poole Harbour, Sandbanks and Brownsea Island, this well presented three bedroom semi-detached home occupies an enviable position within the historic Ballard Road area, renowned for its charming period cottages and rich maritime heritage.
Ballard Road forms part of Poole-s historic residential expansion during the 19th century, with many of the surrounding cottages originally constructed to house families connected with the thriving fishing, maritime and industrial trades centred around the old town and quay.
The area underwent significant redevelopment during the 1960s through to the 1980s. The property itself is entered via the front door into a welcoming entrance hallway.
Positioned on the ground floor is a modern bathroom comprising a panel enclosed bath with shower over and glazed screen, WC, wash hand basin and airing cupboard housing the gas boiler serving the hot water and central heating system.
A door from the hallway leads through to the spacious sitting/dining room, a superb open-plan living space featuring a floating gas effect fireplace together with ample room for a dining table and chairs.
French doors open directly onto the patio and rear garden, creating an excellent connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces.
The dining area flows seamlessly through to the kitchen, which is fitted with a comprehensive range of both floor and wall mounted units with worksurfaces extending to 3 sides.
Integrated appliances include an electric oven, ceramic hob with extractor over, together with spaces for a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer and fridge freezer.
A side door provides convenient external access.
Stairs rise to the first floor landing where the principal bedroom enjoys French doors opening onto a Juliette balcony, perfectly positioned to take full advantage of the spectacular elevated views across Poole Harbour towards Sandbanks and Brownsea Island.
Bedroom two is a further generous double room, whilst bedroom three provides an excellent single bedroom, nursery or home office.
Externally, the property benefits from an enclosed southerly facing rear garden featuring an expansive paved patio extending across the width of the house, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining.
The remainder of the garden is laid to lawn with additional space for a garden shed, together with an outside tap and light point.
A pathway and side gate provide access to the front of the property where off-road parking is available.
