OWNERS’ ANNOTATIONS“The location attracted us first to this maisonette as it is so close to the cliff top and not far from the local shops and easy to commute into Bournemouth, Poole and Southampton. The maisonette itself is just so individual, it feels like we are living in a house with the bedrooms upstairs and the lounge and kitchen downstairs. The roof garden is a real treat for entertaining in the summer months as well as an excellent log store for the wood burner in our beautiful lounge, perfect for those wintery nights and Christmas time. It is a lovely sunny home and you can often hear the waves on the beach from the spare bedroom when you open the window. The kitchen breakfast room has become quite a sociable hub for us and is perfect for when our friends and family come to visit. The maisonette was our first home together and we are now ready to take our next step on the property ladder.”
