Description

This impressive period home offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment, situated on approximately 0.8 acres of landscaped grounds—including a private tennis court—just a short walk from the scenic Branksome Beach. With over 4,300 square feet of living space, this property provides ample room to create a stunning family residence while also presenting potential avenues for development, subject to planning permissions. Originally designed with elegance in mind, the house features six spacious bedrooms and four bathrooms, including two en suite options. The layout includes five generous reception rooms that could easily be reconfigured to suit modern living needs, alongside a dedicated office or study space. The property also benefits from a fitted kitchen with an adjoining breakfast room and access to a cellar for additional storage. A double garage at the rear opens up possibilities for conversion into a coach house or other use (STPP). High ceilings and large windows add to the property's charm, allowing natural light to fill the interior. While the home retains much of its original character, there is significant scope for renovations that could modernize the space while preserving its historical integrity. Additionally, opportunities exist for extending into the loft area or further developing the grounds where the tennis court is located. A recent planning appraisal conducted by Giles Moir of Chapman Lily Planning indicates potential for further enhancements to maximize land value through subdivision or new build homes on-site (subject to local authority consent). Detailed documentation, including a tree survey and insights into local zoning regulations, can be provided upon request. Located on The Avenue—a highly regarded tree-lined street in Branksome Park—this property enjoys proximity not only to Branksome Chine beach and its popular eateries but also to vibrant areas such as Canford Cliffs village and Westbourne. Both offer an array of shops, cafés, and restaurants. For leisure activities, Parkstone Golf Club is nearby, while Compton Acres provides beautifully maintained gardens for relaxation. The area is well-equipped with both state and private educational institutions within easy reach, including Canford School and Bournemouth Collegiate, making it an appealing option for families seeking quality schooling in close proximity. With so much potential—both as a remarkable family home and an investment opportunity—this property stands out as a rare find in Branksome Park.
