The house is approached by a gated carriageway drive offering plenty of parking. A lawned front garden with mature hedging provides privacy and screening from the road. A pillared porch frames the front door which opens into an impressive entrance hall featuring elegant wood panelling and flooring, and a sweeping staircase leading up to a galleried hallway above.

To the left an expansive living room stretches the full width of the property with triple aspect windows flooding the space with natural light. Currently used as a formal sitting room this generous and versatile space is perfect for larger families and entertaining.

On the opposite side of the entrance hall is the dining room; a lovely bright space with large feature window overlooking the front garden. Measuring almost 20ft in length this charming room has a traditional parquet floor and there is also a hatch and door proving access into a good sized home office with storage nook.

To the back of the house the kitchen/breakfast room offers views over the landscaped rear gardens and French Doors leading out onto a sunny patio. The kitchen is fully fitted, designed to accommodate a large range-style gas cooker, and has a useful central island unit offering additional cupboard and worktop space.

Through the kitchen there is another reception room set up as a cosy lounge with a Purbeck stone open fireplace and French Doors out onto a patio area. This room has a door accessing the integral double garage and 'back stairs' up to the second floor.

Upstairs there are seven bedrooms in total, the principle suite offers a large bedroom with double aspect windows, a bank of fitted wardrobes and an ensuite bathroom. There are two generous double bedrooms both with built in wardrobes and charming bay window seats to the left of the main stairway, and two smaller double rooms accessed off the hallway. These rooms are serviced by a large family bathroom which includes bath, walk in shower, sink and w/c. The remaining two double bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom and are most easily reached via the back stairs from the lounge.

This house has tremendous scope for updating and remodelling whilst making the most of its wonderful character and charm. The spacious and flexible layout could be adjusted to accommodate various living requirements and lifestyle choices and includes a possibility to create a self-contained annex.

At the rear of the property there is a large, landscaped garden stretching uphill from the patio beside the house with pathways leading past an ornamental fishpond and through wooded areas, mature shrubs, and lawns. There is a beautiful outdoor swimming pool on the top lawn. Completely secluded and of an exceptionally high specification there is scope to make more of this wonderful pool by adding an additional deck or patio area for alfresco dining and entertaining.

Alongside Sandbanks, Branksome Park is one of Poole's most affluent areas. However, in contrast to the seaside residences on the peninsula, Branksome Park lies inland from the shorefront offering a suburban, almost countrified feel.

Properties are largely nestled amongst the trees within private grounds offering space and privacy. A network of footpaths will take you on captivating woodland walks alongside a meandering stream, eventually leading to the sea.

The beautiful award winning sandy beaches are only a short walk away while the open sea offers some of the best sailing and coastline right on your doorstep. For all your amenities, neighbouring Canford Cliffs and Westbourne offer a cosmopolitan mix of bars bistros and boutiques.
