Lawrence Drive, Canford Cliffs, Poole, Bh13

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.
