6 Tower Road West, Branksome Park, Poole, BH13

Where to start with this absolute gem of a property. You rarely find properties that offer such versatility, yet have managed to retain so much original character. This Arts & Crafts period residence greets you with a grand entrance hall, sweeping staircase and stunning stained glass windows. You are drawn in by a peaceful reading room / library featuring one of the many intricately-crafted cast-iron fireplaces. The ground floor offers two spacious reception rooms and a family kitchen located in the middle. All rooms have direct access out onto the south-facing private garden that generously stretches across the entire 0.6 acre plot. Leading from the kitchen is a spacious utility / boot room with outdoor exit, plus a secondary 'staff' staircase up to the first floor accommodation, where there is a bathroom and office / playroom / bedroom.

The main bedroom suite is reached just beyond the stained glass window of the main staircase. Comprising a comprehensive dressing room that mirrors the floor plan of the reading room below, a large double bedroom and modern ensuite bathroom with standalone bath that basks in sunlight from the large windows. The original fireplaces remain as pretty features central to each of the bedrooms. Two further ensuite bedrooms are located on this floor. The second floor and bedrooms 5 & 6 are reached via the extended main staircase, architecturally designed to remain in keeping with its original grandeur, yet encompassing an impressive gallery feature.

Outside, is where this impressive property impresses even more. There are two additional accommodation offerings including The Gatehouse - a stand alone funky 4-bedroom house cleverly converted from the quad-garage complex. It's been intelligently designed to enable one of the garages to be used as storage if desired, leaving the remaining three bedrooms upstairs. With its own front door and enclosed garden, this could be let out without disturbing the main residents.

The Annexe, is a one-bedroom cottage-style home including a kitchen / living room, double bedroom and adjacent bathroom, located towards the front of the plot. Featuring its own covered entrance, yet easily reached from the main house via the utility exit so perfect should you need to pop out to check on your guests.

The popularity of leafy Branksome Park is due to the properties boasting large secluded plots and being less known to visitors who are lured towards the world-famous Sandbanks just down the road. Here, you are just 0.5 miles from the award winning golden sands of Branksome Beach and the wooded footpaths of Branksome Chine connecting the beach to the south with Penn Hill to the north. The villages of Canford Cliffs and Westbourne are close by and offer the best of the area's restaurants, bars, boutiques and amenities including the scrumptious M&S Food Hall. The nearest train station is Branksome, which is just 5mins drive away, and offers a direct link to London in approx. 2 hours.
