Panorama House

Bournemouth, Dorset

12

Panorama House, located in Bournemouth, Dorset, is a remarkable property that accommodates up to 12 guests across its seven bedrooms. Perched atop a cliff, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of Bournemouth and Poole Bays, extending from the stunning Jurassic Coast to the Solent and the Isle of Wight. The house's vantage point allows residents to experience inspirational sunrises and mesmerizing sunsets, as well as moonlit nights reflecting on the sea. This idyllic setting makes it an ideal retreat for families and groups seeking both relaxation and adventure.

The property boasts direct access to seven miles of golden sandy beach via a picturesque tree-lined “chine,” ensuring that guests can enjoy the coast without the hassle of crossing roads. This feature makes it particularly appealing to dog owners, as the beach is dog-friendly, allowing pets to roam freely. The grounds of Panorama House are designed for privacy and security, with electric gates that keep both pets and children safe within the enclosed estate, creating a tranquil environment for families to unwind.

Rich in history, Panorama House was constructed in 1931 on the estate of Lord Wimborne, who had familial ties to Sir Winston Churchill. Churchill spent his childhood summers at the house and later utilized it as a safe haven during the war. The property gained further fame in the 1970s when it was owned by entertainer Max Bygraves, who hosted numerous celebrities, including The Goons and Shirley Bassey. The living room still features Max's piano, a testament to the house's vibrant past and its connection to the entertainment world.

Filled with charm and character, Panorama House has served as a beloved family home, where the current owners have created countless cherished memories with their children. With the children now grown, the owners are eager to pass on this unique experience to new families, inviting them to create their own joyful moments in this enchanting setting. The combination of stunning views, historical significance, and family-friendly features makes Panorama House a truly special place for anyone looking to enjoy a memorable getaway.
