Built in 1923 as a fine copy of the Chateau de Bagatelle in Paris this prestigious home boasts exceptional proportions throughout with high ceilings and many original features. In our opinion, Bagatelle sits perfectly on one of the best plots in the area.

Offered for sale for the first time in over 60 years, the interior would benefit cosmetic upgrades and now is the perfect opportunity for an incoming purchaser to remodel or extend the already generous accommodation, subject of course to the necessary planning consents.

In bygone days soir\u00e9es were hosted in the 60s and 70s with famous glitterati and celebrities of the day with names including Max Bygraves, the composer Mantovani, the World War 2 hero Douglas Bader and author Philip Ziegler often in attendance.

Branksome Park has long been considered one of Poole\'s most affluent areas in which to live. The area covers approximately 360 acres and Bagatelle occupies a south easterly plot approaching an acre within this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The equally salubrious areas of Poole Harbour and Sandbanks are close by and offer all manner of facilities for water sports enthusiasts including marinas and yacht clubs.

Day to day amenities are available in nearby Canford Cliffs Village with many more individual boutiques, coffee shops, hair\/beauty salons and eateries available in the cosmopolitan suburb of Westbourne which is a 10 to 15 minute walk away.","This imposing and much admired locally listed classical residence is set in beautifully manicured level gardens within the renowned Branksome Park Conservation Area, just moments away from the glorious sandy beach at Branksome Chine.
