Description

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a prime building plot with full planning permission secured for a spectacular new residence extending to approximately 4,000 sq ft. The approved scheme has been thoughtfully conceived to create an impressive, architecturally striking home, combining expansive, light-filled living spaces with luxurious bedroom accommodation and a highly refined contemporary design. Offering the freedom to deliver a truly bespoke residence while benefiting from the certainty of an established planning consent, this is a rare prospect for a private buyer, self-builder or developer seeking to create an outstanding landmark home.

Rook Hill Road is a private and exclusive road near Avon Beach, offering an ideal location for creating or building your dream home. Avon Beach itself is a beautiful golden sandy oasis, home to the acclaimed Noisy Lobster restaurant, as well as other charming cafes and beach huts.

If you head west along the promenade, you'll come across Mudeford Quay, famous for its sailing, water activities, and local fishing boats. Families often enjoy spending time here, with shops offering crabbing nets, buckets, and bait. The area boasts an RNLI inshore lifeboat station, an annual Mudeford fun day, and the popular pub, The Haven Inn. Additionally, the Mudeford ferry runs frequently, particularly in the summer months, providing easy access to Mudeford Sandbank. Here you'll find the Beach House Cafe and adjoining Hengistbury Head.

Traveling east from Avon Beach, you'll discover Steamer Point Nature Reserve and the picturesque grounds of Highcliffe Castle. For those in search of more urban amenities, Christchurch Town Centre is approximately three miles away. Christchurch offers its historic 11th Century Priory, an array of shops, bars, and restaurants.

For commuters, both Christchurch and Hinton Admiral railway stations provide convenient mainline access to London. And for those with wanderlust, Bournemouth Airport is nearby, offering travel connections to various European destinations
