Description

This exceptional development site presents a rare opportunity in the sought-after Canford Cliffs area, strategically located at the intersection of Martello Road South and Oratory Gardens. With planning permission already secured and a design by Marlow Architects, this project is set to encompass around 3,900 square feet across three levels. The proposed building will feature an impressive entrance atrium with a double-height void and a floating staircase that connects its main sections seamlessly. The envisioned layout includes a spacious open-plan living and dining area complete with a linear fireplace, complemented by a generous walk-in pantry and utility room. A standout feature of this design is the extensive use of floor-to-ceiling glazing on the lower level, which ensures natural light flows continuously through the space while facilitating easy access to landscaped gardens prepared for an outdoor kitchen setup. The plans accommodate four double bedrooms, each designed with private ensuites, while the master suite boasts a lavish retreat with its own relaxation area, walk-in dressing room, and private decked terrace. Additional conveniences include a dedicated study, laundry/linen room, and an integrated garage featuring an EV charging point. The architectural design combines modern aesthetics with functionality through mid-grey aluminium-framed glazing, timber-effect cladding, and light grey rendering. This project not only offers luxurious living but also represents significant investment potential in one of the South East's most desirable locales.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

65out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At £1,000,000, this is a strikingly low-cost way to acquire a 3,900 sq ft site in Canford Cliffs: the asking price is £256 per sq ft against a local average of £497. The appeal is the approved architectural scheme for a substantial three-level home, with an entrance atrium, floating staircase and generous glazed living space. The aerial images show an untended plot, while the proposed house and landscaped gardens are CGI rather than completed works, so this is a development project rather than a finished-home purchase.

The plans and stated planning position offer a clear vision, but buyers should verify the consent and what remains to be delivered. Limited photo coverage makes the renovation assessment further provisional.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire the site at £256 per sq ft, well below the local average, with scope to create value through delivery of the proposed home.
  • Architectural plans set out a distinctive three-level design, including a double-height entrance atrium, floating staircase and expansive glazed living space.
  • The scheme includes landscaped gardens and decking, while the aerial images give a clear view of the plot and its prominent junction position.
