'French chateau' home on the market in Western Road in Poole

But it’s actually located in Western Road in Poole's Branksome Park and has gone on the market for £4,750,000 through Savills.

The “exceptionally” rare property which has been “elegantly remodelled and modernised throughout”, dates back to circa 1830.
