Around the station and Poole Road, Edwardian houses and converted flats let to commuters and couples and sell to first buyers and small landlords. South of Poole Road, Branksome Park's large houses and flats among the pines sell to downsizers and families who want the chines on foot. We let, manage, sell and value homes on both sides.

Outstanding from start to finish
The apartment exceeded our expectations with its modern design and thoughtful touches throughout. Walking distance to both the seafront and shopping areas made it incredibly convenient. Clear instructions, responsive host. Would absolutely stay here again on our next visit to Bournemouth.
Modern, clean and superbly located
Lovely apartment in very close proximity to Bournemouth town centre and beach. Modern, very clean and well equipped. Onsite parking was a big plus, making it easy to explore the area. The host was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay.
Second stay, and we'll be back
Great apartment at a perfect location. Jack and the team were so easy to deal with. This is our second time at this apartment block and we'll definitely be returning. Clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Estate agents in Branksome: questions
Is Branksome in Poole or Bournemouth?
Poole. Branksome sits on the Poole side of the boundary, with Westbourne in Bournemouth next door, and both are in BCP Council's area. That position is its selling point: a tenant or buyer can reach either town centre in minutes by train or bus along Poole Road.
What is the difference between Branksome and Branksome Park?
The railway and Poole Road divide them. North is Branksome proper, with Edwardian and interwar houses and flats around the station. South is Branksome Park, a conservation area of large houses and apartment blocks on wooded plots down to the chines. They let and sell to different people at different prices.
Who rents in Branksome?
Commuters who want the station, couples and young professionals in the converted flats, families in the houses near the schools, and university and hospital staff. In Branksome Park, professionals and families rent larger flats and houses near the chines and tend to stay longer.
Does Branksome Park's conservation area affect a sale or a rebuild?
It can. Conservation area status means planning controls on demolition, extensions and tree work, and many plots have protected trees. A buyer planning to extend or rebuild will check this, so we gather the planning history before we market a house there. BCP Council's planning pages set out the rules.
Can I walk to the beach from Branksome?
From Branksome Park, yes: Branksome Chine and Branksome Dene Chine are a walk through the pines. From north of the railway it is a longer walk or a short drive. The stretch at Branksome Dene is open to dogs all year, which tenants and buyers with dogs ask about.
