A clifftop mansion which belonged to late entertainer Max Bygraves has been put up for sale for \u00a35.5million.<\/p>\n
The TV star lived in the seaside mansion in Bournemouth, Dorset, with wife Blossom for 35 years and they raised their three children there.<\/p>\n
They sold the 1930s property for \u00a32million in 2006 before they emigrated to Australia. Blossom died in 2011 and Bygraves, whose catchphrase was ‘I want to tell you a story’, passed away a year later at the age of 89.<\/p>\n
The current owners have modernised the seven bedroom home in the Alum Chine area and have now listed it for sale for \u00a35.5million.<\/p>\n

This is the cliff-top seaside mansion which belonged to late TV entertainer Max Bygraves<\/p>\n

Aptly named Panorama House, it has stunning views of Poole Bay from Bournemouth Pier to the east and the Sandbanks peninsula to the west.\u00a0 It also has the remnants of a World War Two concrete gun emplacement at the bottom of the garden.<\/p>\n
The property is spread over four floors, including a basement where there is a cinema room and a games room. The ground floor has an enormous entrance hall with a large kitchen, dining room and lounge that all have sea views and a gym.<\/p>\n
On the first floor there are five bedrooms and the top floor has two more bedrooms each with en suite bathrooms, dressing rooms and balconies overlooking the sea.<\/p>\n
The house is being sold by estate agents Luxury & Prestige. A spokesperson said: ‘Panorama House is tucked away at the end of a cul-de-sac and literally overlooks Alum Chine and the beaches below.<\/p>\n
‘It is in a remarkable location. Sandbourne Road is the only section of the cliff top where houses have direct cliff access without a road in between.<\/p>\n
‘Panorama House has been home to the rich and famous and its guest list includes some illustrious names from the past.<\/p>\n

‘It was constructed in the pre-war era and it changed hands over the proceeding years until the current owners acquired it in 2006.<\/p>\n
‘They spent a fortune updating and reinventing the house to suit their own needs. The result is a quirky and clearly cherished family home by the sea with a huge amount of character and lots of up to date features.<\/p>\n
‘The grounds include various viewpoints overlooking the beach. There are numerous outbuildings reflecting the potential to enjoy the benefits of such a spectacular location.’<\/p>\n
