Situation and Description Much of Branksome Park falls within a conservation area as well as being a low density housing area. Undoubtedly one of the most exclusive enclaves of Poole, it is known for its luxury houses set in spacious grounds and for its desirable apartment blocks which are largely concentrated in specific areas East and West of The Avenue. Sitting approximately midway between the town centres of Poole and Bournemouth, it is ideally located to take full advantage of the areas renowned shopping and leisure facilities such as the blue flag beaches at Branksome Chine and the world famous Sandbanks Peninsula. Road communications are good and both Bournemouth and Poole enjoy main line Railway stations with services to Southampton and London. The property occupies a prominent position within Bury Road, widely accepted as one of the area s premier addresses. The house offers clean, contemporary lines, first seen by the impressive frontage that then continues throughout the home. It was acquired as a brand new property by the current owners in 2008, having been constructed by a well-known local developer to a high specification with particular attention to design and quality of finishes. The striking architectural design uses large areas of glass in order to bring the outside in and the unusual roof shape results in dramatic cathedral height ceilings in a number of the rooms. The construction of such an unusual house normally demands the use of highly bespoke fixtures and fittings throughout and La Font is no exception. The galleried entrance hall features a natural stone tiled floor and an architectural staircase featuring polished walnut surfaces, structural glass balustrade and striking steel suspension cables. A mixture of solid and glazed bespoke walnut finish doors connect to all principal accommodation. The kitchen family room features a spectacular vaulted ceiling and boasts a highly contemporary and stylish fitted kitchen. Included are a whole host of appliances by Miele, amongst others and there are informal sitting areas as well as informal dining areas, all of which connect to the rear outside space by way of casement and bi-folding patio doors. This arrangement is perfect for al-fresco dining on summer evenings, with sheltered areas as well as sun trap terraces, not to mention the very inviting hot tub. The living and formal dining areas also feature bi-fold patio doors, the former boasting a modern stone clad chimney breast with contemporary gas flame fire. The property also benefits from a study on the ground floor. Guest bedrooms four and five are located in a separate wing of this floor and enjoy ensuite facilities. The lower ground floor features a fully fitted HD media/cinema room with its own projector and integrated 5.1 surround sound system, complete with bar/kitchen area fitted with microwave, sink and fridge. Located also on this floor is a utility room, boiler room and cloakroom. The master suite can be found on the top floor of the house and it makes quite a statement with its high vaulted ceiling, and its luxuriously appointed en-suite with free standing bath and fitted furniture with twin basins. Both the bedroom and en-suite have bi-folding doors that open onto the large private balcony that overlooks the rear garden. The remaining top floor bedrooms are all ensuite. The high specification finishes in the house are exampled by the concrete floors, underfloor gas fired central heating, integrated air conditioning system as well as a built in audio system with ceiling speakers. The majority of the house and garden lights are programmable by way of a Clipsal system which has both scene settings along with a master on and off switch for the whole house. Security features of the property include a house alarm system and fitted electric remote controlled slatted roller blinds to all windows and bi-folding doors. The rear garden has been professionally designed and landscaped with a large area laid to lawn, a separate woodland garden, areas of terracing and decking along with the aforementioned hot tub. The front garden has been designed using tropical palms and grasses with the raised ornamental pond with fountains from which the house gets its name. There are also areas of lawn bound with sleepers at the front of the house. The driveway is set with paviours leading to the attached double garage, all of which is enclosed by remote controlled wooden gates and stone clad piers.
