A FIVE-bed townhouse boasting historical character in Poole is currently on the market for £1m.

Estate agent company Symonds and Sampson are currently selling a luxury home in the heart of Poole.

Described as an ‘exquisite and handsome’ home, the Grade II listed townhouse located in the heart of Old Town Poole could be a millionaire's dream home.

It has recently been refurbished and features many unique aspects including a stunning walled garden that gives a good degree of privacy for residents.

The house can also be flexible in terms of décor, for example, the media room in the basement can also be used as a bedroom with a further en-suite shower room.

The internal space exceeds 2300 sqft with many beautiful period & historical features including a dual aspect sitting room and a delightful dining room both with open fireplaces coupled with a top floor self-contained annex/apartment.

And the home comes with a host of history to add to its charm.

A spokesperson for Symonds and Sampson said: “During the Second World War, Church Street was damaged by bombs and nearly all houses played host to billeted soldiers and sailors. By the 1950s the house was being used as a lodging house.

“The late 1960s and 1970s saw a revival of interest in the old town and the Old Town Conservation Area was created in 1974 and was one of the first such areas in the country.

“The house was subsequently run as a bed and breakfast for about a decade from the late 1990s onwards. The current owners took over the house in 2017 and since then they have used it as their family home.

“A restoration project has been undertaken to remove several unsympathetic modern alterations to the building with an emphasis on the use of local craftsmen wherever possible.”

The home is located just a stone's throw away from Poole Quay, a vibrant area with a selection of pubs and bars and picturesque views of the harbour.
