Welcome to the Upside Down House, a truly unique, Scandinavian-inspired detached holiday home occupying an enviable, highly sought-after position directly fronting Poole Harbour. Perfectly designed to maximize its incredible waterfront location, the property features a brilliant “upside-down” layout.
