Description

This distinctive detached bungalow is situated on a generous south-facing plot within the highly regarded Branksome Park neighborhood. Known for its leafy streets and tranquil atmosphere, Branksome Park is among the premier residential areas, offering convenient access to sandy blue-flag beaches at Branksome Chine and the renowned Sandbanks Peninsula. The surrounding area features charming villages such as Westbourne and Canford Cliffs, home to a diverse selection of shops, cafes, and restaurants. Positioned approximately halfway between Poole and Bournemouth town centers, residents can easily enjoy a range of shopping and recreational facilities. Excellent transport links are available with Bournemouth’s mainline railway station providing connections to Southampton and London Waterloo. The Wessex Way (A338) is just a couple of miles away, giving direct access to the M27 motorway for those commuting towards London in about 90 minutes. Additionally, both Bournemouth and Southampton International Airports are within close proximity. Set on about 0.75 acres, this expansive property presents significant renovation or redevelopment potential. While it currently boasts an indoor swimming pool complex and spacious living areas, it requires complete modernization to realize its full value. Notably, planning permission has been granted for a redevelopment designed by the esteemed architects at ARC. The proposed plan encompasses around 5,500 square feet of living space with further expansion possibilities of approximately 2,300 square feet if the pool complex is retained and renovated. Given the increasing rarity of building plots in the Branksome Park Conservation Area—particularly in such an exceptional location—this property represents a unique investment opportunity for those looking to create their dream home or capitalize on its development potential. Prospective buyers are encouraged to conduct thorough due diligence regarding redevelopment options and necessary approvals.
