The Avenue, Branksome Park

Description

Squirrel Lodge is a traditional mansion style house built to modern specifications and it sits in a beautiful and sunny plot extending to over 0.5 acres, located less than 0.5 miles from the beautiful Blue Flag beaches at Branksome Chine. It was originally built for a local couple to a bespoke specification and the design includes an enormous heated underground garage for up to 12 vehicles, ideal for housing any car collection. The house extends to nearly 8,000 square feet so the principal rooms are all very impressive including the 37'9" kitchen family room (fitted by Mark Wilkinson) and 34'5" drawing room with its semi-circular bay window. The ceiling heights are suitably impressive too, none more so than in the galleried reception hall. The master bedroom suite occupies the south wing of the first floor and boasts two dressing rooms as well as a palatial en suite bathroom. The top floor of the house is currently laid out as a suite of rooms - potentially a guest suite - with a dedicated kitchen and bathroom and numerous store areas which could be converted to habitable accommodation (subject to the necessary consents). The grounds are simply stunning and the rear garden features a sunny westerly aspect with a choice of sun decks, terracing and two gazebos.
