House For Sale £760,000
Located only a short level walk from Poole Harbour and a public slipway for launching boats. Lake Farm has its origins from the late 16th century; the kitchen is in what was originally a barn, one of 3 that made up the farm and its cottage farmhouse. The kitchen has traditional thick cob walls to the front. The Georgian part of the house was built sometime in the 1800s, with solid brick foundations, which can be inspected from the cellar beneath. The property maintains many of its characterful features and has a wealth of charm complimented by modern conveniences we all crave.
The spacious sitting room has a working fireplace and feature bay window. The dining room also has a working fireplace, which has a real flame gas fire and French doors leading out to the courtyard garden. The study/workroom enjoys custom made shelving providing an immediate work space and looks out over the rear garden. The kitchen, which was fully re-fitted in 2014, features an island unit with double-sink in the middle, plenty of worktop space and Corian work surfaces and a Stoves dual fuel oven. A beautiful feature of this room is a large window complete with window seat set into the front cob wall.
