Just off the hallway, the first door on the right leads to a highly practical utility room complete with washing machine, tumble dryer and generous cupboard space. A convenient side door provides easy access to both the front and rear gardens – also perfect to use as an entrance door after a sandy, fun-filled day by the sea. The hallway flows effortlessly into the heart of the home, a spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining and living space. This light-filled area is ideal for families and groups to gather, cook, dine and relax together while enjoying views across the stunning rear gardens.
Back towards the entrance hall, a staircase leads to the first floor accommodation and you'll also find a downstairs WC and a stylish under-stairs drinks bar – a fun and sociable touch for entertaining that adds to the immense charm of this home. Double doors from the hall open into the formal lounge, a welcoming space with large windows and doors overlooking the front garden, perfect for quieter cosy evenings.
Also on the ground floor is a large office, ideal for anyone needing a peaceful work space, as well as a self-contained annex. The annex features a king bedroom which has patio doors out onto the rear garden, well equipped kitchenette and an en-suite shower room. The annex has it's own practical side entrance, making it perfect for guests seeking extra privacy or multi-generational stays.
Upstairs the first floor hosts four beautifully appointed bedrooms. The master suite is truly exceptional, stretching across the entire front of the house with a balcony overlooking the front gardens. This luxurious retreat boasts an impressive en-suite bathroom with his-and-hers sinks, a large freestanding bath, separate walk-in shower and WC. Completeing the suite are generous double walk-in wardrobes and a dedicated dressing area.
At the rear of the property are three further bedrooms enjoying views over the side and rear gardens. Bedroom 2 is a king and benefits from it's own en-suite shower room and walk-in cupboard, while bedrooms 3 and 4 are both doubles and share a stylish family bathroom featuring a bath and a separate walk-in shower.
To make your stay even more special, guests at The Garden House also enjoy the exclusive use of a nearby beach hut at the glorious Branksome Chine, offering the perfect base for unforgettable days by the sea.
Set within an expansive plot of stunning well-tended gardens of cyclamen, camellia, rhododendrons and acers, this beautifully renovated property is an oasis of peace and charm. With 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, including a self-contained annex, the accommodation is flexible and comfortable. The living spaces have been lovingly designed with careful detail and character, with both open-plan living areas and quiet corners to spend tranquil afternoons. Huge windows display the natural vista of the gardens beyond, and outside seating areas await family gatherings in the sunshine.
And if you can tear yourself away from the serenity of The Garden House, the beach hut awaits, which is a little slice of heaven overlooking the beach at Branksome Chine. Just a short walk from the restaurant and cafes at Rockwater, an indulgent luncheon followed by a siesta in the sunshine is all within easy reach.

The local area
With a blue-flag beach, beautiful natural harbour and within 3 and a half hours drive from London and the Midlands, Sandbanks offers a spectacular beach holiday destination that ticks all of the boxes.
Having earned a reputation as the UK’s answer to Palm Springs, Sandbanks is a small peninsula of land that juts out into Poole Harbour. The golden stretch of Sandbanks Beach runs the length of the peninsula and beyond, offering safe areas for swimming, barbecues and a beautiful spot to watch the sun rise and fall.
A holiday in Sandbanks offers something for everyone with endless coastal walks, interesting day trips, great restaurants and lovely safe beaches for both kids, dogs and grown-ups to play.
If water sports are your thing, then both the harbour side and bay provide a playground for sailors, paddle boarders and boat enthusiasts. The legendary Shell Bay chain ferry clunks and creaks between the tip of Sandbanks and Studland across the bay, offering visitors the chance to day trip over to the Isle of Purbeck with its famous beaches, world heritage coastline and nature reserve.
The National Trust owned Brownsea Island rests in the middle of Poole Harbour and is well worth an explore for its unique wildlife, heathland and lagoon.
Whatever your reason for visiting Sandbanks, you’ll find plenty to keep you entertained in this beautiful corner of Dorset.
