Poole Dorset a few of my favorite things No longer the enclave for a sleepy retirement

Poole Dorset a special place to live and still very English. A few years ago I spent a year travelling backwards and forwards to Brighton. I had never been there before and for me it was a place that television programs have you believe Londoners dream of escaping for wonderful seaside weekends. Well all I can say is that those that are committed to Brighton as a resort for weekends or second homes have never been to Poole in Dorset. Primarily Poole has its wonderful Harbour

A harbour reported to be the second largest natural harbour in the World and Poole has surrounded the harbour with Country parks recreational playing fields, footpath walks from Upton Country Park, to Baiter park, Poole park lake, Whitecliff recreational ground and the landscaped evening hill walk down to the bay at Sandbanks. Then just take a look at the beach, it has to have the softest golden sand in the world who would swap that for the stoney Brighton beach. There is miles of beach from the tip of the Sandbanks peninsula find sand sand and more sand as far as Southbourne 10 miles away. Dispersed between these beach front take a stroll inland following the beautiful wooded chine walks Durley Chine, Branksome Dene Chine, Canford Cliffs chine. Take a walk through any of the tree lined Roads in districts approaching the harbour and you will be impressed by the results of Poole Local Authority Tree preservation control.

When I return on my regular visits back to Poole I am also impressed by the surge in people walking,jogging,cycling,windsurfing,kyte surfing and generally playing sport. There are so many tracks and trails to discover not to mention access across on the Sandbanks ferry to the trails across the Purbeck hills to Corfe Castle Swanage or Lulworth beyond or go 30 minutes East and spend the day exploring the New Forset around villages such as Fordingbridge, Lyndhurst, Bramshaw,Lymington

For those that like to Party Bournemouth offers Poole residents all the delights of a busy night life social scene and has become a mecca for stag and hen weekends add the University students to the mix and Bournemouth town centre area has become a young persons night life venue.

As you come further away from the upmarket suburbs that surround Poole harbour and beach you can now find trendy enclaves that once lay dark and dormant after 6pm most nights. Now places such as Ashley Cross, Penn Hill, Lilliput and Canford Cliffs Village compete for business with trendy cafes, bars, patisseries and restaurants. There is a definate a buzz in the air about the place with brand new designer homes being built and investment in business wherever you turn. Poole is no longer the sleepy town that is attached to Bournemouth and this is shown by the quality and value of property being built in the Poole area.

Tailor Made Lettings and Tailor Made estate agents have been part of this property scene since 1992 and have seen the demand grow year on year from people vacating Cities such as London, Manchester,Birmingham to enjoy this great lifestyle location

I myself have talked about Poole as a great UK town to many of my friends here in Sotogrande Spain and several have been back and bought homes there as well as a few buy to let properties. The most recent expat friend I took to Poole bought a house in Blake Hill Crescent, Lilliput for retirement in 10 years time paid just under 700,000.00 calculating a 100k refurbishment if he were to live in it. Presently property is rented out for 2200 per month on long term contract. Another expat friend whose daughter plans to go to Bournemouth University is now looking to buy an apartment in Poole / Bournemouth targeting an apartment on the border between the two towns possibly Westcliff, Westbourne, Alum Chine where the family can visit and enjoy themselves and once his daughter leaves the halls of residence she will have a ready made home. Of the expat friends I have shown around Poole in recent years there are now potentially 3 more looking to invest in the area a beautiful town in Southern England, its a case of seen it like it want a part of it.

Bournemouth workers target Canford Cliffs in Poole Dorset

Demand from outside of Poole and shortage of flats to rent in upmarket locations

This month has seen high demand for Canford Cliffs rental apartments and interestingly enough the inquiries have been from Bournemouth workers, professional couples who simply want to live in Poole and to be near the sea. This trend has not only been from existing locals but also from new relocation arrivals to the area living in short term company accommodation

Canford Cliffs has some very upmarket modern apartment developments many in very close proximity to the Beach Harbour and the ever popular Sandbanks. For those that work in Bournemouth getting to the the Canford Cliffs area is easy as normally it has no congestion. Passage across to Bournemouth via Branksome Park, Westbourne along the Westcliff is relatively easy and most importantly quick. Also within Canford Cliffs and on the peripheries ie Lilliput Penn Hill and Sandbanks the once sleepy parades have come alive with trendy wine bars, cafes, restaurants, some great places to wind down at the end of a hard days work or good meeting points to kick start a day of exploring beach and harbour .

Jamie Rolls of Tailor Made Poole town office says "its no surprise that people love to live in Poole its getting a real reputation as a lifestyle destination much of this down to the huge harbour and the amount of parkland and scenery. Cycling this area seems to have taken off big time as people take to two wheels and discover harbour beach chines and the Purbecks a few minutes ferry hop from Sandbanks its no wonder professional couples want a piece of it"
