Branksome Park has long been considered one of Poole’s most affluent areas to live.

Sean Gibson, from Savills, who are selling the property, said: ‘This is a dream property, the house looks like it is from a movie.

‘Being one of the area’s oldest properties and the chateau style makes this house incredibly unique and very different to the surrounding houses within Branksome Park.

‘You can’t buy history, somebody else could replicate that French chateau look down the road, but this house dates back to 1830 and you can’t replicate that genuine history.

‘It is a a wonderful size and on a completely private plot.

‘Branksome Park has been incredibly popular since the ‘race for space’ after the first lockdown finished. With this area you can rest assured you will get lovely grounds, gardens for children to run around, amenity space, plenty of parking.’
