2 bed bungalow for sale

Canford Cliffs Avenue, Poole, Dorset BH14

A lovely opportunity to extend and modernise (STPP).

Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the potential on offer.

Set within one of the area’s most desirable addresses, Canford Cliffs Avenue, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a detached bungalow positioned on a generous, mature plot, offering both immediate enjoyment and significant future potential.

The property is set back from the road behind established hedging, creating a good degree of privacy along with an attractive, green outlook. The gardens are a standout feature, thoughtfully planted with mature shrubs and greenery, providing a peaceful and secluded setting.

The existing bungalow extends to approximately 1,259 sq ft in a spacious and traditional layout. The accommodation currently comprises a kitchen with direct access to the garden, two generous reception rooms to the front aspect, one with a feature fireplace, the other with an attractive bay window. The principal bedroom also sits to the front and includes built in wardrobe storage, and a bay window overlooking the front garden. A second bedroom, family bathroom and separate guest W.C. Complete the layout.

The home is naturally bright and welcoming, enhanced by a lightwell atrium above the entrance hall and large windows to the principal rooms, creating a lovely sense of light and space throughout.

From a development perspective, the opportunity here is particularly compelling. The roof structure offers a strong pitch, presenting clear scope for a loft conversion, while the spacious entrance hall provides a natural position for a staircase without compromising ground floor accommodation. Subject to the necessary planning permissions, there is also potential to extend, reconfigure or even redevelop the plot entirely, making this an ideal proposition for those looking to create a bespoke home in a prime location.

Externally, the property continues to impress. A detached garage sits alongside a secure, gated driveway providing off road parking for multiple vehicles. Within the garden are two versatile outbuildings, offering excellent potential as home offices, studios, gym spaces or creative retreats, alongside a large garden shed for additional storage.

Opportunities of this nature, combining a prime Canford Cliffs address, a generous plot and genuine scope to add value, are increasingly rare.

The property is offered to the market with no forward chain.
