This wonderful home is tucked away on Sandbanks in the most historic part of the Dorset coastline. Old Coastguards Road is one of the most historic parts of the peninsula which was well known to seafarers and smugglers and became the site of the first lifeboat station and home to the lifeboat crews in the pretty little cottages along the road in the nineteenth century. Coastguards boasts a unique position directly on the edge of the harbour with an extensive decked area to the rear with stunning views and its very own beach at the bottom of the garden! The whole family can relax and unwind with the far-reaching view over to Brownsea Island and Poole Quay watching the passing motorboats, yachts, and ferries. It is truly the most fantastic spot. This lovely beachside house accommodates up to six guests in three bedrooms and has a lovely open plan layout in the living area giving you the blue sea views from every aspect. Mostly arranged on the ground level, there are three bedrooms, a bathroom with a slippper bath, shower cubicle, hand basin, and toilet, a shower room with a shower cubicle and hand basin. The separate utility room has an extra fridge and freezer and a cloakroom. Upstairs in the attic room, there is a great TV room with a sofa bed which can provide extra sleeping for two.

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.
