Western Avenue, Branksome Park

Western Avenue is renowned for its large and spacious dwellings and it lays claim to being one of the most sought after in Branksome Park. This bespoke and highly imposing home was built for the current owners who hand picked this particular plot due to its quiet and private setting. This is one of the largest and most significant dwellings within the conservation area extending to nearly 9,500 sq ft in total. It comprises five bedrooms, each with en suite facilities, a 36’ kitchen family room, formal living, dining and two home offices. On the lower ground floor there is complete leisure and entertaining suite which includes an impressive indoor swimming pool complex, a gymnasium, a private cinema room complex with bar and a store area leading to an 6 metre integral garage. The store was formerly a third garage so could be converted back, ion required. No expense was spared when the house was constructed so luxuries include an imposing bifurcated staircase in the reception hall, a hand painted bespoke kitchen by Mark Wilkinson including a centre island with breakfast bar and informal banquette seating as well as a smart home automation system that integrates lighting, audio, video, security and climate control. Other high end specification items include mechanical ventilation and under floor gas fired central heating. The elevations of the house are especially pleasing traditional sash windows as well as ”stone” balustrading adorning the eternal steps and terracing. The landscaped grounds include a ”secret” woodland walk and evoke a feeling of peace and tranquility, approached via a long and imposing driveway enclosed by remote control gates.
