Branksome at a glance
Branksome covers a wide area between Parkstone and Westbourne. Branksome Park, towards the sea, is known for large homes set among pine trees, while the streets around Branksome station and Poole Road offer more affordable houses and flats.
Branksome Chine beach is one of the best on this stretch of coast, and Westbourne’s shops and cafés are close by. Flats make up most sales, which keeps the average down, but family houses here offer good value compared with the neighbouring coastal areas.
