3 bed property for sale

Lake Road, Hamworthy, Poole BH15

Guide price £825,000 - £850,000. Lake Farm, we believe, was the first home in Hamworthy and has its origins from the late 17th century! A fabulous property, steeped in history and only moments to the water and slipway. This charming home has generous accommodation to include 3 double bedrooms, one with an en suite, 2 loft rooms, stylish heritage bathroom, 3 reception rooms, a stunning orangey/conservatory, fitted kitchen/breakfast room, courtyard cottage style gardens and a double garage with adjacent parking space. The property retains many character features with a wealth of charm and elegance, along with quirky shaped rooms and a layout that has developed over time. The kitchen, originally the barn of the farmhouse, has traditional cob walls and the house had a Georgian extension sometime in the 1800s and a further orangery extension along with much updating in 2015. The current owners have further updated the property to include redecoration, carpeting, new en suite shower room, and new worktops in the kitchen.
