Burton Road, Poole, BH13

Set in a highly desirable location in Branksome Park, this cosy, well presented 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom character split level apartment, occupies part of the first floor in this rather unique and charming property, built in 1881. Originally built as a Gentleman’s residence, the house was converted in the 1980’s into 6 apartments, each with their own style and unique features. This style, age and type of property is rarely available as many of these grand homes were replaced by more modern blocks of flats in the 1960’s.

On entry into the building, you feel you are being whisked away to a bygone era. The Wick is set off the road in a very peaceful plot and approached via a sweeping drive, making the development both private and secluded. Entrance to the flat is via the central grand communal ground floor Ogival Arched front door, leading to an entry phone system and a stunning communal entrance hallway with original Victorian mosaic geometric tiling, and grand stairway to the first floor. The apartment has been beautifully refitted and appointed throughout by the current owners and comes with use of the communal rear garden and the benefit of two off road parking spaces.
