Brunstead Road, Branksome Gardens, Poole, Dorset, BH12

This character-filled home offers over 3,000 sq ft of versatile space, beautifully blending Arts & Crafts charm with modern living. A hidden gem on a wonderfully private plot measuring a third of an acre, just 0.7 miles from the vibrant heart of Westbourne Village.

Upon entering the property via an entrance vestibule, with access to a cloakroom, you’re immediately greeted by a sense of beautiful character. The wide, welcoming hallway sets the tone, with original beams overhead, light oak flooring underfoot, and elegant glass-panelled doors leading through to the main living space.

To the left, the heart of the home unfolds: a spectacular kitchen/living/dining area extending over 38 feet in length. This sociable, open-plan layout enjoys views of the garden beyond, with beautiful arched windows and two sets of bespoke bench seating framing the space. The kitchen itself features a central island, extensive bespoke timber cabinetry, a butler sink, and a striking five-ring gas range oven.

A snug sits just off the entrance hall - the perfect space for a children’s playroom or a quiet retreat - while to the rear, you’ll find a separate study, utility room, and an impressive cinema/games room, offering flexible use for modern family life.

Stairs lead to the first floor via a charming, original staircase, featuring original stained glass window and galleried landing.

Four generously proportioned bedrooms span the first floor, including a principal guest suite with en-suite bathroom. A well-appointed family bathroom serves the remaining rooms. Both bathrooms feature walk-in showers, roll-top bathtubs, dual sinks and a WC.

The top floor is dedicated to the fabulous, newly created primary suite - a bright and peaceful space with large skylights and French doors opening onto a private balcony overlooking the gardens. This floor also includes a stylish bathroom featuring a walk-in shower, reclaimed and refurbished original freestanding bathtub, dual sinks and WC.
