Property sites like Zoopla are a useful tool to scout out a potential new home, but can also be a fun place to check out a dream house.

The houses that are on sale for millions of pounds are often quite eye-catching, and that has certainly been the case in Poole, with a £5 million property being the most viewed in the area on Zoopla.

It is a six-bed detached house located in Branksome Park, and also contains five bedrooms and five reception rooms.

On its page, it is described as a "magnificent 1930s Gentleman’s residence" that has only had two owners since it was constructed.

The house sits on a southerly plot of around 0.9 acres and is "extremely secluded" and has to be approached through two wrought iron electric gates.

Its rear boundary also backs directly onto Branksome Chine, where you can take a walk down to the beach.

Meanwhile, the living space is described as "extremely versatile" with the main kitchen, dining and family room forming "the heart of the home".

Additionally, most of the bedrooms have an en suite, with the master also containing a walk-in wardrobe.

Outside of the house, the rear garden contains a flagstone sun terrace leading onto a large level lawn with mature trees.
