A Rare Waterfront Opportunity on One of Poole's Finest Coastal Plots.

Description
Set on a truly remarkable waterfront plot along the prestigious Branksea Avenue, this detached home presents a rare chance to own a slice of Poole’s most iconic coastline. With panoramic, uninterrupted sea views as your everyday backdrop, this is a front row seat to nature’s finest. From the dramatic Purbeck Hills to the Arne Nature Reserve and the sparkling shores of the Sandbanks Peninsula.

Offered with no forward chain, this distinctive residence is ripe for transformation. Whether your vision is to renovate, extend, or build a bespoke new home (subject to planning) and any other required consents, the generous plot and unrivalled location offer boundless potential to create an extraordinary coastal sanctuary.

A standout lifestyle feature is the private slipway and mooring buoy, perfect for boating enthusiasts, paddle boarders, or anyone dreaming of stepping from garden to water with ease. It’s a privilege that elevates everyday living into something truly special.

Approached via a driveway with ample off-road parking, the home opens into a bright and spacious lounge/dining room, where sweeping sea views immediately steal the show. This flows into a sunroom, with access to a flexible fifth bedroom or second reception room, and through to a kitchen that connects seamlessly to a conservatory overlooking the garden. Additional ground-floor amenities include a WC and utility room with external access.

Upstairs, four well-sized bedrooms await, including the principal and second bedrooms which open onto a private balcony with breathtaking coastal vistas. A family bathroom and separate shower room complete the upper floor.
The rear garden is a standout feature. A generous, private oasis that leads directly to the water's edge, complete with a lush lawn and patio area. It’s the ultimate setting for relaxation, entertaining, or simply soaking in the serenity of the sea.
A detached double garage sits to the front of the property, adding practicality to this one-of-a-kind offering.
