Escape to the Chateau! Turreted seven-bed home in Dorset that would not look out of place in French countryside – and comes with wine store and swimming pool – goes on the market for £4.75m
A turreted chateau-inspired home with seven bedrooms, five bathrooms, a wine store and a swimming pool has gone on the market for £4.75m.
The house, which would not look out of place in the French countryside, is located in Branksome Park in Poole, Dorset.
The palatial-looking property has castellated walls and an impressive turret, tall ceilings and is surrounded by its own grounds.
The house, which dates back to 1830, is accessed through private electric gates and has been extensively remodelled and modernised in recent years.
A wine store is hidden in the air-conditioned tower with a spiral staircase leading to the top floor tower reading room.
The property has 8,154 sq ft of accommodation with an entrance hall, kitchen and breakfast area, living room, dining room, drawing room, study, garden room and swimming pool on the ground floor.
There are four bedrooms and three bathrooms on the first floor and another three bedrooms and two bathrooms on the second floor.
The house also has a luxury swimming pool complex with changing facilities and shower and a private gate leading to Branksome Chine and the beach.
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.’
