Property details
The Portsmouth Hoy is situated in the centre of historic Poole Quay, a vibrant all-year-round community that attracts huge numbers of tourists and day visitors throughout Spring, Summer, and Autumn.
The Quay is bustling with bars, restaurants, and visitors soaking up the atmosphere, with an everchanging background of yachts, ships, and fishing boats. It is the Headquarters of Sunseeker Yachts and the RNLI and is the launch point of ferry trips to Brownsea Island and other local destinations. Poole Quay hosts numerous events throughout the year particularly during the Summer, including the infamous Harry Paye Pirate Day. Road access is straightforward and the mainline train station is only a short walk away.
On entering the pub there is an eclectic mix of comfortable seating and booths, wood cladding and floors, and fascinating bric-a-brac from model ships to diving bell helmets. The bar is situated in the centre of the pub and there is further seating to the rear, which is equally well presented. The well-equipped kitchen and cellar are located at the rear of the pub, with an accessible toilet on the ground floor. There are ladies and gents toilets on the first floor where several storage areas are also situated.
The externals and signage have been quite recently refreshed, and there are several tables outside with the opportunity to grow the external presence further.
The private accommodation is over two floors and consists of a large lounge with a fantastic view overlooking the Quay, along with three bedrooms, a bathroom/WC, a kitchenette, and an office. The flat provides a great living space in the heart of Poole.
