Mountbatten Road, Branksome Park, BH13

On entering the property, you are immediately impressed with the size and grandeur of the centrally positioned reception hallway. There is a convenient cloakroom accessed from the hallway and a low-rise staircase with sweeping balustrade rising to all floors. The kitchen/dining/lifestyle room is located to the rear and has bi-fold doors that open to the rear garden. The kitchen is superbly fitted with a comprehensive range of modern units and quality appliances and this further is complemented by a beautiful Quartz work surface. This is an ideal space for entertaining and family life.

To the front of the property there are two further reception rooms, ideal for use as a living room and formal dining room. Our clients have really enjoyed the layout of the ground floor as this has given them a flexible arrangement of rooms which has been highly conducive to family life for children of various ages.

A real feature of the property are the striking stained-glass windows throughout and as you ascend to the first floor there is a beautiful stained-glass bay window on a mezzanine level which gives a tremendous feeling of space and light. The principal bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe/dressing room and a contemporary ensuite bathroom. There is also a guest bedroom on this level that benefits from a private ensuite shower room. To complete the first floor there are two further double bedrooms which are serviced by a family bathroom and sensibly there is a utility room on this level so there’s no need to carry laundry through the house.

The staircase continues to the top floor where there is a flexible arrangement of rooms for use as either additional bedrooms, an annexe or guest suite. As can be seen from the floor plan, the top floor could also be ideal for homeworkers wanting generous office space.

The gardens to the front and rear are laid to lawn with patio areas and mature planting. There is also a large garden/games room which could be perfect as a home office or entertainment area with a covered decking area to a summerhouse.

A truly lovely period home with a wealth of features, moments from sandy beaches and the amenities of Westbourne.
