Branksea Avenue, Poole, Dorset, BH15

Stratford House is tucked away on a quiet road behind secure gates which open onto a sweeping driveway leading up to an impressive, pillared entrance. The majestic architecture gives the property a real wow-factor, but it's the harbourside location and breathtaking views that will really capture your heart. The front door opens into a palatial hallway with staircase up to the first floor living space. An open plan kitchen/living/dining room spans the rear of the home and connects through large double doors into a spacious formal sitting room/dining area, together making a huge entertaining space. There is a balcony along the full width of the property enjoying a southerly aspect and benefitting from incredible views across the garden and Poole Harbour beyond. On the ground floor five generous ensuite double bedrooms are arranged in two 'wings' of the house. Perfect for maintaining privacy and space for all, whether you have a large family or guests to stay. The principal bedroom suite is fabulous with dressing room, ensuite bathroom, plenty of space for lounge furniture and a beautiful outlook onto the swimming pool and garden. The stunning views are also enjoyed from two further bedrooms, there can be no better place to wake up. The second floor of the home is dedicated to fun with a home cinema, games room and bar, and a choice of two balconies from which to enjoy a glass of wine watching the sunset over the boats in the harbour. The garden is a delight with a sparkling heated swimming pool; a focal point for relaxation and celebrations. There is a stylish garden room with bar and outdoor kitchen, and a choice of seating and dining areas designed to make the most of the harbour facing aspect.
