Property Description

This beautiful apartment was purchased off plan by the current owners and is now being offered with NO FORWARD CHAIN. It has been subtly improved over the last few years into a mature, cosy apartment that gives a homely vibe along with peace of mind. Residents at The Observatory benefit from breathtaking amazing views not only from their apartments, but also from the large communal rooftop terrace. This particular apartment is also sold with two lockable storage units, down in the basement, an allocated parking space AND a balcony.

Large openable windows keep the space bright and thanks to being above street level, the home is secure whilst you’re away at the beach! Through the main door with CCTV coded entry system, you’ll find well-maintained communal halls and stairways to all floors.
Entering the apartment, you’ll be welcomed by a stylish, freshly decorated foyer, that separates this home from other dark, dingy apartments. The sellers have maximised storage here with not only a huge storage cupboard, but by using the space for coat racks/ shoe storage. This contemporary flat exudes a wonderfully homely vibe, accentuated by high-quality finishes and modern appliances, including white goods, an app-controlled heating system, a luxurious bathroom, and proportionally sized rooms. LED down lights throughout provide a warm and stylish ambiance.

 

The open-plan living, dining, and kitchen space enjoys natural light throughout the day from two sets of large windows. The kitchen is equipped with integral appliances, including a fridge, freezer, dishwasher, oven, induction hob, and extractor fan. Under-cabinet lighting adds a touch of elegance in the evenings, illuminating the funky tiled splash backs and ample worktop space. The bathroom is the perfect size, featuring a floating vanity unit, storage, a rain shower over a generously sized bath, and a concealed toilet cistern—all in like-new condition.
Enhanced by excellent glazing, both bedrooms remain quiet during the evenings and comfortably accommodate king-size/ double beds respectfully. With well-proportioned rooms, high-quality materials and a thoughtful design, this property offers buyers worry-free living in a spectacular location. Ideal for first time buyers, investors or those downsizing.

 

We mentioned those private storage lockers, located below ground level in the larger block (accessed via stairs or lift). These are ideal for safely storing paddle boards, holiday decorations and any other items you need tucked away from the flat. Additionally, there is a secure, communal bike storage room with pin-controlled access for added convenience. Keep the hallway free of bikes and sports kit to dodge daily! (Not all apartments at The Observatory come with private storage lockers, so this is a win!)

Make your way up to the huge communal rooftop terrace equipped with tables, sitting benches and sun loungers to enjoy spectacular views of Poole Park and the surrounding area, with Brownsea Island and The Purbeck Hills visible in the distance.This is an awesome panoramic backdrop to host friends and family for any occasion- firework night, new years, sunset dinner and drinks or just somewhere to sun yourself.
The Observatory is very close to Poole Harbour & Sandbanks, a short drive or bike ride to Bournemouth, and right on the doorstep of Ashley Cross. Amenities, public transport and nightlife are within walking distance, without being TOO close, for when you’re having a quiet one in! Parkstone train station is a 10min walk and gives direct routes to London Waterloo.
