Exceptional elevated plot with huge redevelopment potential in prestigious Canford Cliffs.
- Elevated 0.5-acre plot with panoramic Poole Harbour views
- Large detached house: c.3,124 sq ft, five bedrooms
- Chain free; rare redevelopment/replacement potential
- Requires full renovation or redevelopment (subject to consents)
- Freehold; no recorded flood risk
- Slow fixed broadband; excellent mobile signal
- Adjacent to high-value properties; attractive street scene
- Local area affluent but recorded crime levels are higher than average
Sitting on an elevated 0.5-acre plot in Canford Cliffs, this five-bedroom detached house delivers arguably the best harbour views in the road, spanning Poole Harbour, Sandbanks and Brownsea Island. The substantial plot, privacy and position beside high-value homes make it a rare development or replacement opportunity in one of the area’s most sought-after streets.
The existing Pre‑War dwelling extends to approximately 3,124 sq ft and has been altered over time. The house is offered chain free and is ripe for redevelopment subject to necessary consents — the value is strongly held in the land and location rather than the current fabric. Accommodation requires renovation throughout and would suit a buyer planning a full refurbishment or a rebuild to maximise the site.
Practical considerations are straightforward: freehold tenure, no recorded flood risk, excellent mobile signal but slow fixed broadband. The immediate area is very affluent with strong local schools and coastal amenities nearby, although recorded local crime levels are higher than average. Buyers should factor in planning and build costs, potential re-provision of landscaping, and the time needed to obtain consents before any major works.
For an investor or developer seeking a near-impossible-to-replace plot with commanding harbour views, this property offers clear upside. For a private buyer, the site gives scope to design a bespoke family home in an exclusive location, but expect significant renovation or redevelopment outlay.
