"Just about the perfect family home. 5 bedrooms. Big space on a good plot(2800 sq ft). Separate children's lounge/playroom. 2 bathrooms plus an extra downstairs loo. 5 metre long kitchen plus a utility room. South facing back garden and patio. Garage and off road parking for lots of cars. Great home.

The owners have lived here for 26 years and brought up their children in this home, so this is a rare opportunity. They are now moving into the heart of Poole and it is another family's chance.

In amongst raising their children, the family have constantly upated this home:

At the end of last year, so less than 3 months ago, new soffits, guttering, downpipes, ridge tiles, roof lining and trays were fitted.

4 years ago, the windows were replaced(Fensa certificates available).

New consumer unit 6 years ago.

Both bathrooms new 6 years ago.

Karndean flooring to the kitchen, dining area and utility room.

All radiators thermostatically controlled.

Decking, patio and steps up to the lawn created.

There is a great flow and practicality to this home. As well as the garage at the front of the house, there is off road parking for 4 other cars. As you enter the house, there is a large porch to cope with a family's worth of coats, shoes and more besides. Immediately on the right after the porch is a reception room which would make a perfect children's playroom/separate lounge for them so that the parents get some peace. To the left is the downstairs loo.

Overlooking the garden is the main living area with patio doors. The kitchen is large-5 metres long-with a separated dining area, again with patio doors to the garden. Adjacent to the kitchen is a sizeable utility room and there is a large storage cupboard.

With the loft space, the house has plenty of storage. All 5 bedrooms are doubles, one of which is currently being used an office. There is a bathroom with a drench shower and a separate walk-in shower room.

The back garden is bang South facing with lots of interest created by the different levels and the 2 patios. The owners have shown us pictures of the garden from last summer and it is beautiful. Perfect for sitting out, a BBQ, or an evening glass of wine.

When moving house there is of course the practical things to consider. The property is conveniently located in the heart of Upton, with an array of conveniences on your door step. When moving house there is of course the practical things to consider. Upton has a local Co-Op in the shopping parade, along with a doctors surgery, children's centre, library, vets, coffee shop, tea rooms and fish and chip shop. If you require a larger store, Lidl being less than a mile away and towards Poole town centre is a large ASDA superstore which is approximately 2.5 miles from Dacombe Close. A huge Tesco Extra store is about a mile away



For fun and walking the dog the superb Upton House and Country Park which consists of 130 acres of parkland, shore land and gardens is right on your doorstep. If its walking, going on an adventure nature trail, teaching the children to ride their bikes or playing with the giant lawn games, this really is a fantastic place to go and enjoy quality time with the family. Following all the fun and activities the coffee shop serves tremendous home made cakes.

Or explore the Upton Heath Nature Reserve which is as mix of dry, humid and wet heathland, bog pools, ponds, grass land and woodlands.

Of course Upton is on the edge of Poole Harbour which is the 2nd largest natural harbour in the world, a safe haven for water enthusiasts. If it is sailing, body boarding or learning to wind surf may be something that your children would enjoy, this property is approximately a mile away from Rockley Park. An ideal place for lessons in these activities.

The area has a strong cycling community with the Purbeck Hills a popular destination. Likewise for walkers, Dorset's Jurassic Coast is a must.

Or just a lazy Sunday at the famous beaches at Sandbanks. And for holidays, Bournemouth International Airport is the fastest growing airport in the UK, or take the ferry from Pole to France or the Channel Islands.

Plus for playing, please remember that Dacombe Close is a quiet cul-de-sac.

The local schools are excellent. At primary level, there is Upton Infants and Lytchett Matravers Primary. At secondary level, the choices include Lytchett Minster, Corfe Hills and Parkstone Grammar. All of these are Ofsted rated 2 or better.

And of course there is work. From the house it is approximately 3 miles to the A31 with at least dual carriageway to the New Forest, Southampton and the UK motorway network. From Poole railway station there are direct routes to Manchester and London.
