Description

This beautifully presented ground floor apartment in a prestigious development on Evening Hill benefits from incredible views across Poole Harbour, Brownsea Island, and the Isle of Purbeck beyond.




*Unexpectedly re-available*
This beautiful three bedroom apartment is set on the ground floor of the Harbour Watch development on Evening Hill. The elevated position means there are gorgeous harbour views from the main living space and from the private terrace, perfect for watching stunning sunsets over the water.

The entire apartment has been presented with an elegant, luxurious, and modern style with high quality fixtures and fittings and a bespoke kitchen including premium brand appliances.

The open plan living/dining/kitchen is a wonderful space, bright and airy with views over the harbour and French doors connecting to the adjoining private patio terrace and sun room.

On the ground floor there is also a shower room and bedroom three which is currently used as a home office. There is a short flight of steps to the next level where the main bedroom with ensuite and generously sized bedroom two are located. Both rooms benefit from plenty of fitted wardrobe storage and a quiet aspect to the rear of the block.

Outside the development is extremely well presented with beautifully planted communal gardens, a sweeping driveway and smartly decorated communal areas. The apartment further benefits from a garage in a block to the front of the building.

Viewing is highly recommended.

  • Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
  • Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
  • Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
