Description

Set within one of Canford Cliffs’ most established residential pockets, this is a rare opportunity to secure a private, level plot with full planning permission already in place for a contemporary architectural residence*. The setting is calm and discreet, with mature surroundings and a natural orientation that draws in light throughout the day. For a buyer seeking to create a long term coastal home, the groundwork has been thoughtfully prepared, balancing scale, privacy and design clarity.

The existing house extends to more than 2,900 sq.ft across three floors, offering immediate usability while longer term plans are realised. The entrance opens into a series of well proportioned reception spaces, including two dining rooms, a separate study and a generous kitchen breakfast room supported by a utility and cloakroom. The layout already demonstrates strong fundamentals, with clear zoning between formal and informal living.

Upstairs, four double bedrooms are arranged across the first floor, two with en suite facilities alongside a family bathroom. The second floor provides a further substantial bedroom, well suited to guest accommodation or an independent teenage space, set away from the main bedroom level.

Externally, the 0.37 acre garden is a defining feature. Level, private and well proportioned, it offers excellent scope for considered landscaping, outdoor entertaining and future leisure elements. The orientation supports consistent natural light, enhancing both the existing home and the proposed design.

*The approved scheme, reference APP 24 00288 F, introduces a clean lined contemporary design that responds intelligently to the plot. The proposed architecture enhances volume, flow and connection to the garden, creating a residence aligned with modern coastal living while respecting the established character of the area.

LOCATION:

Canford Cliffs remains one of the South Coast’s most desirable locations, known for its tree lined avenues and proximity to the coastline. The village centre offers a curated selection of cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities, with access to award winning beaches within easy reach. Sandbanks, Parkstone Golf Club and Poole Harbour are all close by, while mainline rail connections to London Waterloo can be reached from nearby Poole & Bournemouth Stations.

  • Beyond traditional estate agency

    From Philippa Sole’s inception in 2016, Pippa set out to create something beyond traditional estate agency.

    What began as one woman’s vision has grown, nine years on, into a multi-award-winning collective of nine individuals from the worlds of retail, leisure, construction, media and property.

    Guided by Pippa, we are grounded in expertise, united by curiosity, defined by creativity, and driven by a shared commitment to our clients and their homes.

    “My business is built on personal recommendations and client referrals. I specialise in selling properties discreetly with approximately a third of my transactions not appearing on the open market but sold as whisper listings" — Pippa

    Not sure where to buy?

    We believe that value is defined by more than price; it is shown in the quality of our highly professional service.

    For clients unfamiliar with the area, we offer personal guided tours as well as video tours, sharing some of our favourite places to go, which are available online or on request.

    Come and meet us

    You’ll find us in our office in the heart of Ashley Cross, the vibrant hub of Poole’s café culture, lively conversation, and easy-going pub charm, where people of all ages blend together in happy vibes.

    “I maintain an office for formal meetings but have no traditional shop window, since this does little to enhance the sale process from the client’s perspective and does not reflect today’s digitally driven marketplace.” — Pippa

    We don’t have a traditional shop front. Instead, we invite you to make an appointment at our office, so we can dedicate time to sit with you and understand your bigger picture.

    After all, moving home is only part of life’s journey. Nothing gives us greater satisfaction than getting to know you, working holistically and wholeheartedly to help you make the life transition that inspires your decision to sell or buy.
