Western AvenueBranksome Park, Poole, Dorset, BH13 7AN

Savills are delighted to offer for sale this exceptional residence which boast state of the art specification and finishes, exquisite contemporary gardens and approximately 6383 sq ft of ultimate luxury. This truly is Branksome Park living at its finest, the property previously won the Best House in Dorset award at the Daily Mail UK Residential Property Awards. Since the property won the prestigious award the current owners have further enhanced the property which has taken a vast amount of time and expense. This ‘Best in Class' property is ready to move into and furniture can even be negotiated separately. Initially designed by Terence O'Rourke and the standard of finish and array of specification set a new benchmark in house building, which to this day, has yet to be surpassed, in our opinion.

The entrance vestibule is approached by crossing a reflective pool and an oversize front door gives access to this fabulous home. The main reception hall opens up into the open plan living arrangement, with very high ceilings and large expanses of glass that bathe's the space in natural light whilst bringing the outside in. The informal living area is open plan to the main kitchen/breakfast area with its clean lines and German fitted units by Leicht, incorporating a comprehensive array of appliances by top manufacturers such as Gaggenau. A free-standing chimney breast is a lovely focal point throughout the daytime and evenings. In keeping with today's lifestyles, the dining arrangements are both formal and informal, with a comfortable breakfast bar and separate breakfast table at one end and a beautifully designed dining room at the other. When hosting family or events with friends, there is a separate professional kitchen incorporating a Wolf stainless steel range complete with infra-red warmers, stainless units with a separate ‘prep' station and refrigeration by Gaggenau. The layout of this home is especially suited to entertaining family and friends, something which the current owners have particularly enjoyed.

The living areas reveal a very high level of finish. Luxury carpets sit side by side with hi-tech poured resin floors and oversize walnut finish doors with concealed hinges match the impressive size and scale of the rooms throughout. Polished plaster can also be seen in various locations, where colours and textures have been carefully chosen from a subtle palette of colours. There is also a programmable Control4 home automation system in all principal rooms. One item which is invisible to the naked eye is the mechanical ventilation system, which circulates fresh air throughout the house. The living areas connect to a stunning central atrium which, in common with the rest of the property, is light and airy but is also beautiful at night. This area is home to three substantial indoor plants and glass sliding doors access the formal dining room.

The principal bedroom suite is the very epitome of luxury with a wide expanse of fitted wardrobes, a built-in dressing table (with a remote control retractable mirror), a concealed drink station with an integrated coffee machine and a zip tap for instant hot water. The en suite boasts twin hand basins, a walk-in shower and a luxurious bath, all of which are sophisticated but understated. The guest bedrooms are also generously proportioned and in common with the principal suite open onto a decked terrace with views of planted bamboo and Acer trees. The sitting room has a double aspect with views of the rear garden and it features a bespoke chimney breast and a large format television above. It is an ideal area in which to relax but it is also the perfect venue for viewing the latest cinematic releases with 5.1 surround sound and superb acoustics.

Other facilities include a study, a walk in clothing store, separate shower facilities, a utility room and a palatial double garage. As well as planning permission for an additional double garage. There is also a self-contained guest suite with a bedroom, en suite bathroom, kitchen and terrace. This part of the development is completely detached from the main home and apart from being ideal for an au pair or family member, it would also make a great home office. From the outset the original design and function was intent on building a special home and one which also boasted good green credentials. To this end, harvested rain water serves the irrigation system in the grounds and solar panels assist with mains power and if using the pool, heating and use of it. As one would expect the house is thermally efficient and economical to run with under floor gas fired central heating throughout. The grounds are imaginatively landscaped and an oasis of quiet and tranquillity.
