Living Harbourside Luxury

Acorn Property Group announces the launch of their latest residential collection, Harbour Lofts, in Poole, Dorset. The luxury harbourside development offers residents direct harbour views towards Brownsea Island and the Isle of Purbeck.

Harbour Lofts is an exclusive development of just nine residences: seven apartments (463 Sq ft – 1,109 sq ft) and two duplex penthouses (1,130 sq ft – 1,335sq ft), each remaining property offers two bedrooms and has been completed to an excellent standard, with high specification: each designed to take maximum advantage of the harbourside location, with its own harbour facing balcony or terrace.

Harbour Lofts is located in the historic Conservation Area of Poole old town, in an enviable quayside location: Poole is renowned for being Europe’s largest natural harbour and for its award-winning beaches, including the world famous Sandbanks. The beauty of the sea can be admired directly from Harbour Lofts, or from one of the many cafes, restaurants and bars, that are nearby. The Guildhall Tavern, one of Dorset’s finest award-winning restaurants, will also be taking up residence at Harbour Lofts on the ground floor, relocating from its current Market Street location, with a slight change of name to the Guildhall Restaurant.

Lizzie Olds, Sales Manager at Acorn Property Group says: “The amazing location of Harbour Lofts makes every apartment a dream home, as each has sea views from a private balcony or terrace, making them a must-see for all those who dream of relaxed waterside living. The duplex penthouses provide a sense of loft living with double height open plan spaces that lead to mezzanine areas within the roof space, creating a light and airy living environment. For those with a love of water sports, beach and city living there is little to compare.”

Intelligently designed and heavily influenced by the traditional forms of 19th century quayside warehouses, Harbour Lofts is a contemporary interpretation of vernacular architecture, achieved by carefully marrying traditional forms with modern building methods and materials. Generous floor to ceiling super-insulating triple glazed windows provide extensive views across Poole Harbour and to the panorama of the Purbeck Hills beyond, while remaining energy efficient. Balconies and terraces, all with harbour views, provide the opportunity to take in sun throughout the day and admire the glorious views. Zinc roofing and a slimline composite window system have been used to provide a sleek and contemporary appearance, complemented by the use of traditional brickwork.

The building as a whole has been designed to have low energy use: the windows, walls and roof are all thermally highly efficient with a high standard of insulation and supported by an environmentally friendly heating and hot water system.

All kitchens are fitted with contemporary style cabinetry by Stormer, topped with Caesarstone worktops and splash backs, with LED under lit wall units and a range of Siemens appliances and for the duplex penthouses, an additional wine cooler. Bathrooms are fitted with contemporary white sanitary ware, chrome brassware with heated towel rail, shaver socket and porcelain floor and wall tiling.

In addition to the attractions of Poole Harbour, the town offers a wide range of amenities, including The Lighthouse, a 15 minute walk away, the largest arts centre outside of London, in addition to a symphonic concert hall, two theatres, an independent cinema, art galleries and function rooms.

The county of Dorset is also well known for its many natural attractions, including the Jurassic Coast, from Swanage due south of Poole, stretching west to Sidmouth, the iconic Durdle Door, at Lulworth, the Purbeck Hills and Chesil Beach.

The area offers a wealth of award winning beaches and is well served for watersports facilities, both in the immediate area and county.

Harbour Lofts is located directly on The Quay at the corner of old town High Street, within easy walking distance of local amenities. Poole Railway Station is approximately a 12 minute walk away, with regular rail services to Bournemouth (10mins), Southampton (46mins) and London (2hrs 10mins). The A35 is within easy reach by car, to take you west to Dorchester and Weymouth or east via the A31 to Southampton, with the M27 just a 40 minute drive away.

Ferries from Poole Harbour serve Brownsea Island, the secluded beaches of Studland, the Channel Islands, Guernsey and Jersey, and Cherbourg in France. Bournemouth and Southampton airports are both within easy reach and have flights to a host of UK and European destinations.
