More information

One of three houses on the Sandbanks causeway built by a world renowned architect who kept one for himself. It has been reimagined for the 21st century by the family's next generation to deliver a high end experience whilst retaining the feeling and function of the practical beach house it has always been.

Eco features mean that the house can be self sustaining through solar panels and efficient energy systems and sliding door system allows the living area to open up fully to the elements in both directions

Everywhere you turn there are clever design features which maximise the views and enhance the guest experience including fabulous bathrooms, a kitchen that is both beautiful and functional for the serious cook and an amazing bath with a view.

NB The house is unsuitable for crawling babies and toddlers due to the original staircases and balconies

Outside

Direct access on to the Blue Flag beach from the rear of the house via a split-level terrace area (steps up and down) Charcoal BBQ and seating

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.
