Lawrence Drive, Canford Cliffs
5A, Lawrence Drive, Poole, Dorset, BH13 7EN
Description
Lawrence Drive is considered by many to be the most exclusive residential address in Canford Cliffs. A handful of houses boast views across Parkstone Golf Club and out to Poole Harbour and this classically styled house occupies an especially good position, not to mention a large plot extending to over 1.25 acres facing approximately southwest. Tucked away from the road at the end of a private drive, the approach to the house is undeniably impressive with a large turning area and a triple garage (although the third space is currently utilised as a workshop). The house dates from the early 1990s when it was built to a palatial specification. The main dwelling extends to just under 6,000 square feet (just over 6,500 square feet including the garage) and features include high ceilings, concrete floors and a wonderful bespoke staircase in the galleried hallway. There is a choice of reception rooms with beautiful fireplaces, four bedrooms each of which boasts its own en suite facilities. On the lower ground floor there is an exceptionally large indoor pool complex complete with sauna and changing facilities. The pool area connects to a private sun terrace via patio doors and it also boasts additional space which could be useful for use as a gymnasium amongst other things. There are harbour views from the ground and upper floor which include the Sandbanks Peninsula and the Purbeck Hills beyond. The grounds are set out on multiple levels with a tennis court at the bottom. The grounds require some work to re-instate them along with the terracing and there has been settlement as well as land slip which purchasers will want to address, all of which is taken into account with the marketing price.
