A further large reception room set up as a games room/media room completes the ground floor.

It is an area renowned for its natural beauty with tree lined avenues, indigenous pines and rhododendrons. Undoubtedly one of the most exclusive enclaves in Dorset, it is known for its luxury houses set in spacious grounds with close proximity to both the award-winning sandy beaches, the largest natural harbour in the world, and within 20 miles, the outstanding natural beauty of the Jurassic coastline and New Forest.

Branksome Park is midway between the town centres of Poole and Bournemouth and less than 1.1 miles to the popular Westbourne village with its wide choice of restaurants, independent shops and M&S Foodhall. The blue flag beaches at Branksome Chine are just 3/4 mile away and the world famous Sandbanks Peninsula can be reached in just 2.5 miles.

Bournemouth International Airport and Southampton Airport are also close by and there is a ferry terminus at Poole opposite the Quay with a daily service to Cherbourg in France and the Condor Sea Cat to the Channel Islands.
