Summary - 40 Wharncliffe Road, Highcliffe BH23 5DE
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious family home with separate annex and large private garden.
Uninterrupted panoramic views across Christchurch Bay
Set on Wharncliffe Road, this substantial 2,800 sq ft detached house delivers uninterrupted panoramic views across Christchurch Bay — a rare coastal plot with serious family appeal. The main house offers four double bedrooms, five reception rooms and a recently extended principal suite with garden access, while a fully self-contained annex provides flexible accommodation for guests, older relatives, or rental income.
Outside, the large, secluded west-facing gardens and extensive patio are designed for privacy and afternoon sun, complemented by a sweeping in-and-out block-paved driveway, electric gates and garage. Practical updates include a new boiler and recent renovations to key living areas; several rooms enjoy direct sea vistas and a full-width balcony with glass balustrade.
Known for its desirable sea-fronting position and convenient local amenities, Highcliffe suits families who want seaside living with good transport, fast broadband and low local crime. The property also presents clear potential for further extension or remodelling subject to consent, allowing buyers to enhance value and tailor the home to contemporary family needs.
Buyers should note some material points: the house was originally built in the 1950s–1960s and the cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation, glazing installation dates are unknown, and council tax is described as quite expensive. These are solvable with modernisation works but important when budgeting for ongoing costs and upgrade work.
