High Street, Poole

A ninth-floor balcony fronted apartment in the sought-after Orchard Plaza development, moments from Poole Quay and with the historic Old Town on its doorstep. Town centre shopping, Poole's mainline railway station, and the Lighthouse entertainment complex are all within convenient walking distance. Harbourside Park is perfect for afternoon strolls.

Orchard Plaza has been completely re-clad and re-insulated as part of fire precaution works paid for by the original builders. Additional compartmentation and the installation of a building-wide fire alarm have now made this one of the safest high-rise apartment blocks in the country.
