Harbour Lodge is a superb example of architectural design taking full advantage of a prime location overlooking the harbour and beyond to the Isle of Wight Needles. With flexible accommodation across three floors the property is an ideal family home or weekend retreat with arguably some of best views on the south coast.

A sandbanks style property in one of the most central and picturesque settings - rarely available.

This is one of the most enviable locations on the south coast with direct water frontage to one of the prettiest harbours and Christchurch bay. Built by the vendors 17 years ago to a very high standard to make the most of the location with its southerly views and 200ft lawns.
