“IT’S the little things that make me so happy, all I wanna do is live by the sea,” sings Noel Gallagher on the Oasis b-side, (It’s Good) To Be Free.

He’s not the only one either, which is why this property in Lilliput is expected to attract a lot of attention.

Well within a rock star’s price range (it’s up for £759,950) this property comes into its own this time of the year, with Poole Harbour just a short stroll away.

However, you’re certainly not just paying for the postcode because this property speaks for itself.

Light, bright and incredibly spacious, this character house fuses traditional charm with contemporary design and the property has been exceptionally well maintained by its owners.

Upstairs, the private and secluded property boasts four large bedrooms and three bathrooms – meaning there should be no queues for the shower.

Downstairs is home to two reception rooms. The lounge boasts a limestone fireplace, wooden floors and a sliding door leading onto the patio.

Next door, the dining room – which has plenty of space for entertaining – also has doors leading outside. Both rooms are south facing and overlook the beautiful garden, which, incidentally, has ‘barbecue party’ written all over it.

Any aspiring Loyd Grossman or Delia Smith will nod in approval at the luxurious fitted kitchen, which boasts acres of granite and has a cosy dining area attached – perfect for socialising with family or friends while you rustle up their dinner.

So what else do you get for your money?

Well there’s ample off road parking and a detached garage, which boasts an electric up and over door and workshop space to the rear. As well as being in a highly desirable location, the property is also in the Lilliput School catchment area, which is a huge bonus for parents.

Both front and rear gardens are lawned and home to mature trees, making the latter ideal for some al fresco entertaining.
