Description
Occupying a beautifully landscaped one-acre plot on one of Branksome Park’s most sought-after roads, Little Charters is an impressive six-bedroom residence (inc. self-contained annexe) offering exceptional family accommodation, extensive entertaining space and superb leisure facilities.
The home has been thoughtfully extended and updated, with the open-plan kitchen, dining and living space forming a spectacular heart to the house. Designed to maximise natural light, an innovative arrangement of windows and doors creates a wonderful connection with the terrace and gardens beyond. The hand-painted kitchen features stone worktops, a breakfast bar incorporating a tabletop hob, integrated appliances and a range cooker, while a fireplace with wood-burning stove provides a welcoming focal point within the living area. A separate lounge has open-plan access to a delightful sunroom, while a dedicated family room provides an additional, more informal space for everyday living. An office, pantry and two utility rooms add practicality.
Five beautifully appointed bedrooms occupy the upper floor, accompanied by five bathrooms, four of which are en-suite. The principal bedroom benefits from a walk-in wardrobe and freestanding bathtub.
Outside, the grounds are a particular highlight. Pretty planting, mature trees, manicured lawns and thoughtfully positioned seating areas create a private and peaceful setting, centred around a superb outdoor swimming pool.
A substantial garage provides parking for up to three cars, with a self-contained guest annexe above. Together, the house, grounds and additional accommodation create a versatile home designed equally for family life, entertaining and hosting guests.
