Cedar House, Pinewood Road, Branksome Park

This characterful two bedroom ground floor apartment is all about charm, custom carpentry and wow factor! It has an impressive formal entrance for guests and a private gated garden entrance for personal use, a low maintenance courtyard garden and off street parking, all positioned within an elegant period conversion close to Branksome Beach and Westbourne Village. Extensively renovated in 2020, the apartment combines carefully preserved architectural detailing with a thoughtfully designed interior, creating a highly individual home with an air of impressiveness. Pets are permitted under licence. Internal area approximately 893 sq.ft.

ABOUT THIS PROPERTY:

The approach immediately sets a different tone from many apartment buildings of its era. A covered entrance framed by original detailing leads through into a private entrance hall where rich timber doors, decorative wall finishes and warm flooring establish a sense of individuality from the outset.

The principal living and dining room is particularly memorable. Intricate dark wood panelling wraps the ceiling and fireplace wall, creating depth and atmosphere more akin to a boutique members club than a conventional apartment. Full height windows and glazed doors soften this with natural light and direct access onto the private patio garden, allowing the room to shift naturally between quieter evenings and more sociable gatherings.

The kitchen was redesigned during the 2020 renovation and now sits comfortably alongside the character architecture. Bespoke cabinetry, stone work surfaces and darker textured finishes give the space a more tailored aesthetic while remaining practical for daily use.

The principal bedroom suite opens directly onto the courtyard garden through custom crafted folding doors, creating a calm and secluded feel. Fitted wardrobes and a luxury ensuite shower room complete the suite. The second bedroom is currently arranged as a study and occasional guest room, served by a separate bathroom finished to a similarly high standard.

OUTSIDE:

The private patio garden is enclosed by mature hedging and designed for low maintenance use throughout the year. Morning and early afternoon sun reach the terrace, while the planting creates a notable degree of privacy for an apartment setting. A gated private entrance enhances the sense of independence and there is off street driveway parking to the front of the building.

LOCATION:

Cedar House is positioned within one of Branksome Park’s most sought after residential settings, conveniently placed between the beach and village life. Just 350 metres away are a couple of footpath options to saunter down through the pine trees to reach the award-winning sandy beaches of Branksome Chine, where there is a hub of beachside activity with brasseries, kiosks, watersports hire and surf lifesaving clubs. Westbourne Village is approximately 0.6 miles away and provides a strong selection of independent cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities. Nearby marinas, yacht clubs and waterside leisure facilities around Poole Harbour contribute to the area’s longstanding appeal. Branksome Railway Station offers direct services to London Waterloo in approx. 2 hrs, making the location equally suited as a primary residence or coastal base for those travelling regularly to the capital.
