Full Description
Compton Acres House was constructed in 1914, but was unoccupied until it was bought in 1919 by Thomas William Simpson who laid out the gardens. The house was a substantial two-storey villa constructed in red brick with stone dressings, and was set in an area of level lawns, known as the English Garden, which afforded views across Poole Harbour. The house was demolished in the late 20th century.
