A rare raised ground-floor apartment on Sandbanks with direct beach access and dual-aspect sea and harbour views. The open-plan living space opens onto a generous south-facing terrace that leads down to the dunes and sandy beach, while a second terrace off the principal bedroom captures spectacular Poole Harbour sunsets.
Internally the apartment is spacious (approx. 1,257 sq ft) with three bedrooms, two bathrooms (including a recently replaced en-suite), gas central heating, double glazing and a recently replaced insulated roof. A single garage provides private parking and storage—useful on a peninsula where parking is at a premium.
This property suits families or downsizers seeking a coastal lifestyle in a very affluent area close to Sandbanks’ cafés, yacht clubs and local shops. Practical points to note: the building operates on a Share of Freehold with an above-average service charge c. £7,000pa, Council Tax Band G, slow broadband in the area and holiday/short-term lets are prohibited. Crime statistics for the immediate area are indicated as high, and the building walls are cavity construction with assumed no added insulation.
Overall, the apartment offers exceptional location and views that are difficult to find together—excellent for buyers prioritising seaside living and immediate beach access—but budget accordingly for service charges, council tax and lower digital speeds.
