Unique detached four bedroom 1950's house with many period design features. The property occupies a stunning sea front plot, approaching half an acre, with beautiful uninterrupted sea views of Christchurch Bay. Views stretch from the Isle of Wight and the Needles to the East across to Hengistbury Head to the west.

Located on an exclusive private road the current dwelling would benefit from improvement in the 1950's style, redevelop or rebuild (subject to necessary consent) to a substantial exclusive sea front property. The two neighbouring properties to the east have been extensively redeveloped/rebuilt into prime luxury homes.

The Property
The property has uninterrupted sea views from all south side rooms and partial views from east facing windows. The interior is a beautiful example of classic 1950's design, especially the stylish and spacious main hall, which features a magnificent Japanese oak staircase and interior balcony which is very much of its period.

The ground floor comprises; entrance porch, guest cloakroom, spectacular dining hall with atrium and large windows overlooking the private front garden, and the impressive oak open staircase to the first floor interior balcony. The reception room has a feature fireplace, direct access to the garden and a large bay window with beautiful sea views. The kitchen has dual aspect windows, three storage cupboards, a centre island and a breakfast area again with sea views. Located on the east side of the property is the ground floor bedroom again with sea views and en-suite bathroom. Other benefits include original Parquet wood flooring and three lovely colourful stained-glass windows within the dining hall atrium and further beautiful specially commissioned stained-glass windows on the separate tandem garage.

From the 1950's internal balcony the first floor has two double bedrooms with direct sea views from large windows/patio doors, an east facing further single bedroom with skylight, family bathroom and storage room with airing cupboard. In addition there is extensive loft space.

Outside
The property grounds are accessed from Cliff Drive, an exclusive private road. Off street parking is available for two cars, separate tandem garage with 1950's stained glass windows, large private front garden with established plants and lawn. The rear garden has a southerly aspect and is mainly lawn with a path to the rear border that is raised above the promenade with stunning sea views. From the rear gate is a footpath leading to the sea front.

Location
Well positioned on a private road with some of the area's most beautiful beaches and unspoilt coastline literally at the bottom garden. Cliff Drive has easy access to Mudeford Quay, Christchurch Harbour, and Steamer Point Nature Reserve. The property location is unrivalled in its rarity, beauty and exclusive nature.

Vendor's Statement:
With its spectacular panoramic sea views which I feel rival those anywhere in the world, let alone on the south coast of the UK, I know that my family have indeed been privileged to have been the sole owner-occupiers of this unique property ever since it was designed by my dear Father, Major Vyner Thorndike, who was a well respected and prolific property developer of his time in 1952 . Every part of the day is a joy here, from the magnificent sunrise over the coastland to the east, through to the equally wonderful sunset at Mudeford Quay, both of which can be seen from the garden.

This is not only a breathtakingly beautiful spot, but also a consistently tranquil one; people often remark at how unbelievably peaceful it is here, uninterrupted except for the murmur of the birds and the elements. And the unrivalled view of the ocean and the Isle of Wight straight ahead is not only constantly refreshing and calming, but also constantly changing, as the seasons and climate throw a myriad of different hues into the sea and skyline. One cannot help but feel happy and tranquil in such a unique and magical place, it truly is one-in-a-million.
