LOCATION

Branksome Park is widely regarded as one of Poole’s most prestigious and affluent residential areas, offering a unique blend of coastal living and secluded tranquillity. Unlike the waterfront homes found on the nearby peninsula, Branksome Park sits slightly inland, creating a more suburban and almost countrified atmosphere. The area is characterised by impressive homes set within mature, tree-lined grounds, providing exceptional privacy and space.

The neighbourhood features some of the region’s most substantial and architecturally striking properties, from elegant character residences to cutting-edge contemporary homes. A longstanding covenant preserves the exclusivity of the area by ensuring plots remain no smaller than three-quarters of an acre, making Branksome Park particularly appealing to those relocating from the countryside who wish to enjoy privacy while remaining within easy reach of the coast.

A network of scenic woodland footpaths winds through the area alongside a gently meandering stream, eventually leading down to the award-winning sandy beaches at Branksome Chine. St Aldhelm’s Church is located on Western Road beside one of the main chines that provides direct access to the beach. Nearby, a number of highly sought-after roads feature smaller plots, many of which have been redeveloped with stylish contemporary homes and luxury apartment schemes just moments from the shoreline.

For all your amenities, neighbouring Canford Cliffs and Westbourne offer a cosmopolitan mix of bars bistros and boutiques.

Nearby, the internationally acknowledged, Sandbanks boasts the largest natural harbour in Europe (the second largest natural harbour in the world) with miles of golden sand and sheltered waters. It is perfect for either learning the latest water sport or simply lazing on the beach in the sun.

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.

The Sandbanks Chain Ferry crosses the short stretch of water across to the Isle of Purbeck, giving access to Shell Bay, Swanage and the rest of the magnificent Jurassic coastline and stunning Purbeck countryside.

For eating out, the wonderful Rick Stein’s restaurant, next to Tailor Made’s office, is very popular and across the chain ferry is also the delightful The Pig on the Beach and Shell Bay Restaurant. The area’s favourite Chinese restaurant, the renowned Ocean Palace, is located inside Sandbanks Hotel.

Sandbanks is also the home to the Royal Motor Yacht Club and Sandbanks Yacht Club.
