The Shearwater

The Shearwater: Dorset

Enjoy a family escape by the sea, with tons of home amenities to keep the entire group occupied whatever the weather. This residential house in the seaside town of Pen Hill is just a ten-minute drive away from Bournemouth and its coastline and within just over half an hour's walking distance from Canford Cliff and Branksome Dene Beaches. The house itself has a wealth of activities to offer including a games room equipped with table football and a pool table, a home gym, office space for remote working and a large private garden – perfect for summer barbecues and garden games over on the lawn. There's even a children's summer house, garden slide and a basketball net, so the adults can relax rest assured that the children can keep themselves occupied when spending time both inside and outside the house. The large kitchen and living area serve beautifully as the central hub of the home and the kitchen's sliding doors open out onto the patio too. Stylish and contemporary interiors create a fabulous setting to kick back in with a glass of wine and a book in hand, after having spent a fun day out on the beach. You might be thinking – all that's missing is a hot tub jacuzzi for the garden right?
