A bright, low-maintenance detached home in sought-after Branksome Park, only one of three houses within this small development and the only detached property on site. The house offers a generous kitchen/dining room with direct access and outlook to a large level rear garden — a rare outdoor space for this location. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms (including a main bedroom suite) give flexible accommodation for guests, hobbies or working from home.
Comfort and efficiency are strong features: the property has an EPC rating B and gas-fired boiler with underfloor heating, helping reduce running costs and providing consistent warmth. Off-street parking is provided via an allocated car port plus the parking space behind it. The property sits about a mile from Branksome Chine beach and close to Westbourne’s shops, cafés and services, making everyday errands and leisure easily walkable.
Practical points to note: there is an annual service charge (2024: £964) for communal maintenance, and a second-home council tax premium will apply from April 2025 where relevant. Council tax levels are described as quite expensive. The property is freehold and presents straightforward scope for updating or personalising where desired — an appealing canvas for someone seeking a comfortable, well-located home without large grounds to maintain.
This house suits someone looking to downsize within a desirable coastal-adjacent neighbourhood while retaining outdoor space and independent accommodation. It will also appeal to buyers who prioritise energy efficiency, a strong location and easy access to local leisure and village amenities.
