About Greenlands

Three-bedroom Greenlands is a dream home. Once a farm workers’ cottage, it’s encompassed by green fields, heathland and sea views over Poole Harbour. Inside the 1940’s build, you’ll find a homely abode with an open fire, a modern kitchen and dining area and a south facing conservatory.

Its partially enclosed garden leads down to the water’s edge, where you’ll be close enough to see Brownsea Island. For the nearest sandy beach drive just five minutes to the golden sand dunes of Studland Beach. 

Further afield, drive 30 minutes to Poole Harbour where you can catch the ferry to adventure island, Brownsea. Or loop on to the South West Coast Path for walks along the Jurassic Coast, where the breath-taking seascapes of Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door emerge.
