House For Sale £4,750,000
A magnificent 1930s Gentleman’s residence which has only had two owners since it was originally constructed. The present occupiers have been there for around 17 years and have extensively refurbished and extended the property to an exacting standard. This lovely home sits on a southerly plot of approximately 0.9 acre and is extremely secluded, with the rear boundary backing directly onto Branksome Chine, where there is a beautiful walk straight down to the award winning sandy beach. Much character has been retained and added within the accommodation, including many curved bays, a sweeping stairway, stained glass windows, Art Deco style doors and fireplace and substantial decorative coving.
The living space is extremely versatile with five reception rooms as well as a fabulous kitchen/dining/family room which forms the heart of the home. The Harvey Jones kitchen not only has a splendid Aga cooker but also two Miele ovens, two tall fridges and a dishwasher, all integrated into extensive storage units, a magnificent granite island unit and a walk-in pantry.
There is a dual aspect master suite which has fitted wardrobes as well as a walk in wardrobe and beautiful Villeroy and Boch ensuite bathroom. There are three other ensuite bedrooms on the first floor, as well as two bedrooms on the second floor with their own bathroom. One of these bedrooms is currently used as a sitting room and has a balcony overlooking the rear garden.
The property is approached by wrought iron electric gates and has generous frontage providing extensive parking leading to an open double carport. The rear garden has a flagstone sun terrace leading onto a large level lawn interspersed with delightful mature trees and surrounded by foliage affording privacy and tranquillity.
Branksome Park is one of the most prestigious residential areas on the South Coast covering around 360 acres with homes dating from the Victorian era all the way up to brand new super homes. Many of the character properties have given way to contemporary new residences so it’s lovely to see an original home having been so carefully extended and remodelled.
