A grand property is the description that come to mind as you drive into the gated entrance & down the driveway towards 'Moonshadow'; a five double bed family home on Evening Hill. Almost 6000 sq ft of property set in a tree lined one acre plot this four storey property is in a prestigious location. The owners have made this a fun, exciting, quirky home and environment in which they have raised their 3 children for the past 15 years.
The views of the garden and grounds welcomes you and makes you want to go further and investigate all this property has to offer. The living space within this home is perfect for a family. Through the front door, into a large porch and a 35 square metre hall, right to the dining room, utility room and downstairs loo, left to the kitchen/breakfast/supper room. This is a fantastic family space with a range of white wall and base units a breakfast bar and space for a large dining table. Amongst the features of the kitchen are Maia worktops, gas range cooker and American style fridge/freezer. And of course the owners own touches. The patio doors lead from the dining area of the kitchen and from here you can access the decking area which wraps around the property, the sunshine hits this spot perfectly, it is the ideal place to enjoy a family breakfast during the summer mornings. In front of you is the vast living room with gorgeous views over the rear garden, there are large windows to either corner of the room along with French doors leading to the decking area. The outlook from the living room is 3 sided, to the South, West and North of the garden.
Up the galleried mahogany staircase to a stunning feature window and library area, a space for the owners found peace in to sit and read. There are 2 bedrooms to the left of the landing which share the family bathroom, complete with bath, shower and bidet. To the right is another bedroom with an ensuite and a dressing room. In front of you is the master bedroom with a feature square bay window looking over the back garden. This bedroom is over 26 ft long and has an ensuite. What strikes you is the size of all the bathrooms on this floor, all over 100 sq ft.
On the 4th floor is the guest suite. Or children's playroom, or gym, or music room. Whatever you want it to be. Almost 1000 sq ft with a separate shower room and some views over the treetops to Poole Harbour. Now we come to the rear ground floor and for this particular agent, this is wonderful: apart from the dedicated boiler room, there is a wine cellar, then into the adult/children play floor of almost 1400 sq ft, laid out with sauna, cinema, pin ball machines, table tennis table, pool table and jukebox, dressed as you would expect from these owners with mementoes from around the world. There is a shower room with loo. This games room leads straight out onto the patio.
As you would expect from a Whitelock built property, everything is robust and quality from mahogany doors, window frames and staircases to the detailed tiles in all bathrooms.
Outside are the vast gardens, safely enclosed so that children and dogs can roam free. Again the whole outside area reflects both style and the fun nature that the family have brought to this home. From hot tub, to zip wire, to tree houses, to bonfire area, to woods to explore there is energy sapping entertainment while the parents sit and watch from the terrace with perhaps a glass or two. In the front block paved driveway there is a double garage with loads of storage space above.
A great family home. If you are interested in what can be done with the plot, please discuss with us.

Area Description:
Crichel Mount is one of the most prestigious roads in the area, sat on the top of Evening Hill, which overlooks Sandbanks and Poole Harbour. Landfall, a famous Grade II Listed Art Deco house is nearby as well as Tinkers Revel, considered to be one of Poole's finest homes. Poole Harbour is the 2nd largest natural harbour in the world and haven to boats of all sizes. There are of course numerous yacht clubs, marinas and slipways. The Royal Motor Yacht Club is on the Sandbanks peninsula and Parkstone Yacht Sailing Club is in Lilliput. From Evening Hill you can watch the spectacular sight of kitesurfers and windsurfers in the harbour and feel as if you can almost touch the kites.
.
If the water isn't your pastime, Moonshadow is on the doorstep of Parkstone Golf Club which is in the top 100 golf clubs in the UK. There is also a big cycling community in the area with a favourite venue being to cross over on the Sandbanks chain ferry to the Purbeck Hills. And Dorset's Jurassic Coast is a key destination in the UK for walkers. These hills guard the harbour and create the special microclimate that the area is famous for. Less energetically you can walk down to the famous Sandbanks beaches for a lazy day in the sun.
..
This is a wonderful location for entertainment and eateries, much within walking distance. A Sunday morning stroll down to Sandbanks can be rewarded by a bacon sandwich at the dog friendly Jazzy's cafe. Dinner at the Harbour Heights Hotel means sumptuous views across the harbour. Also special is a meal at the harbourside Rick Stein restaurant or again take the chain ferry to the Pig on the Beach. Walk down the other side of Evening Hill to Lilliput for Thai Tapas at Koh Nai. And absolutely not to be missed is a visit to Mark Bennett's award winning artisan patisserie which sells the best sausage rolls in the universe. For young, fun nights out try the close by vibrant Ashley Cross. And there are a couple of great gastro pubs in Canford Cliffs village. Also in the village, for the ladies, is the highly respected HNB hair salon and spa. Or perhaps the best evening out is to walk 2 minutes to Evening Hill with fish 'n chips and sit on a bench and watch the fireworks exploding over the harbour.
...
If your children are of school age, the local schools are excellent. At primary level, Lilliput 1st school is Ofsted rated outstanding. Baden Powell and St Peters rated good and at secondary level St Edwards and Parkstone and Poole Grammar are similarly rated. There are also local bus pick up points for the private schools of Dumpton, Castle Court, Bryanston, Canford and Clayesmore. For travel for work or pleasure out of the area, there are direct rail services today to London(under 2 hours) and Manchester. From Moonshadow, you are a couple of miles from the Wessex Way with at least dual carriageway to the New Forest, Southampton and the UK motorway network. Bournemouth International Airport is the fastest growing in the UK. And from Poole there are daily ferries to France and the Channel Islands. This is not steel and glass, this is sturdily built grand style in a rarely available location on a magnificent one acre plot, with significant development potential.
