Set on a large 0.22-acre plot in exclusive Canford Cliffs, Harbour View is a modern detached home designed for coastal family living. The house stretches across three floors and offers exceptionally large accommodation (approximately 3,659 sq ft), multiple reception rooms and generous outdoor space that captures panoramic views over Poole Harbour.
The principal floor is arranged for sociable family life: an open-plan kitchen and dining area, two reception rooms and full-width floor-to-ceiling glazing that opens onto a balcony for sunsets over the water. The principal suite occupies the top floor with a dressing room, en suite and its own private balcony; two further guest bedrooms and a family bathroom are also on the upper level.
The lower level provides a flexible suite with bedroom, bathroom and home office and has private external access to the integral double garage. That space offers clear potential for a gym, cinema, games room or guest annex but any separate dwelling use would require the necessary consents. Landscaped drive and extensive off-road parking lead to well-kept gardens that complement the coastal setting.
This home’s strengths are its position, light-filled contemporary design and generous room proportions ideal for family entertaining and multi-generational use. Buyers should note practical downsides: broadband speeds are slow locally, the area records higher crime statistics than average, and council tax is very expensive. The property is freehold and sits close to Sandbanks beaches, schools and transport links, appealing to families who prioritise coastal lifestyle and space.
