4 bed detached house for sale

Harbour Drift, Avalon, Lilliput BH14

This impressive home has been thoughtfully designed to maximise its positioning, capturing stunning views across Poole Harbour from the principal living accommodation and large south-westerly facing terrace.

The generous terrace is undoubtedly one of the home's many standout features, creating a superb outdoor entertaining space where the ever-changing harbour panorama can be enjoyed throughout the day before finishing with spectacular evening sunsets.

The existing accommodation extends to approximately 3,416 sq/ft. And offers exceptional versatility for modern living. The principal reception rooms occupy the upper floor to fully appreciate the outlook, with an excellent arrangement of living, dining and entertaining spaces complemented by a well-appointed kitchen, utility room and cloakroom. Whilst beautifully presented in its current form, the layout also lends itself perfectly to contemporary open-plan living, with the simple removal of internal walls offering the opportunity to create an impressive, light-filled kitchen, dining and family space.

The bedroom accommodation provides four generous doubles, each benefiting from its own beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom or shower room. A particularly valuable feature is the independent external access to the bedroom level, together with a convenient kitchenette, making this area ideal for visiting guests enjoying extended stays or for purchasers seeking comfortable accommodation for relatives whilst maintaining an excellent degree of privacy and separation from the principal living accommodation.

The property also benefits from ‘live’ planning permission to create an additional upper floor, presenting an exciting opportunity to introduce further bedrooms or an outstanding elevated reception room or 'harbour room', designed to take full advantage of what would become truly breathtaking panoramic views across Poole Harbour. Planning permission has also been granted to provide direct ground floor access, further enhancing the flexibility and potential of the home.

Whilst the current layout has been carefully considered and functions exceptionally well, this is a property that offers buyers the rare opportunity to tailor and evolve the accommodation to suit their own lifestyle, whether creating larger open-plan entertaining areas, additional bedroom accommodation or spectacular elevated living space.

Outside, the property enjoys a substantial and beautifully manicured garden and generous driveway parking leads to an integral double garage. The landscaped rear garden provides a peaceful and private setting, while the elevated terrace to the front captures the south-westerly aspect and picturesque water views, making it the perfect place to relax or entertain.

This is an exceptional coastal home combining generous accommodation with remarkable future potential if desired, in one of the South Coast's most sought-after locations.
