Description:

Brompton Court is a restoration and conversion of one of Bournemouth's most historic buildings, the Grade II listed Royal National Sanatorium, one of the first purpose-built sanatoria in the world, opened on October 1, 1855, for convalescing patients to enjoy fresh seaside air.

Developed in association with the Brompton Hospital in London, the sanatorium was funded by public subscription, one of its most famous supporters being Charles Dickens.

The development consists of 5 no. individual bungalows, 66 no. one and two bedroom apartments with luxury communal facilities, mature landscaped gardens and lift lodge access to the vast public gardens that run down to the sea front.
