The Living Quarters
With its spectacular upturned dual hull ceiling and unique split level design making maximum use of the the full height glass frontage; incredible views are on offer wherever you look, both internally and externally. The materials of this architectural gem afford a tactile comfort in harmony with its surroundings.
The Sitting Room
Curved sofas and easy chairs looking out on the view to the beach and Poole Harbour make the perfect spot for reading, listening to music the B&O speaker, or having a short recuperative snooze after lunch.
A beautiful spot for all members of the party to be inspired, to relax, and spend time together, whilst drinking in the views.
To the back of this space is a round table and chairs, book shelves with novels, games, and all sorts of useful information housed on The Houseboat tablet.
The Kitchen / Dining Space
The dining area can accommodate 12 or more guests who will be blessed with the westerly views overlooking the heath and Poole Harbour.
The kitchen has everything you could possibly need and more; fitted with a gas range (with 5 burners two ovens, warming drawer and grill), a large fridge-freezer, a microwave, a Nespresso machine, dual sinks and a dishwasher.
The kitchen comes fully laden with all utensils, pots, pans, plates, dishes, glasses, cutlery table linen, tuperware etc stowed away in the ample cupboards and drawers.
The Eyrie (AKA The Crow's Nest)
Climbing the metal semi-spiral staircase leads you to the Eyrie (AKA The Crow's Nest). Suspended at the top of the property, this is the look-out space offering a view down through all the levels, as well as out over Poole Harbour.
There’s a comfy, L-shaped sofa for the whole family to curl up and enjoy a movie on the large TV accompanied by a DVD player.
Social Landings & Utility Room
The landing areas, stepped bridges, and connecting hallways are vital spaces in their own right. Under the void, these arteries reinforce the sense of tranquillity and spaciousness inside the house.
The well equipped utility room has a separate washing machine and dryer, a sink unit with associated drying rack, a large amount of hanging space for jackets, and also houses the deck chairs. As with all the spaces in The Houseboat, there is a great deal of storage space.
The back door leads to the side patio and pretty garden where there is a rotary drying line.
