Full-height sliding doors lead to a generous private balcony, perfect for alfresco dining or simply enjoying the sea air.

On the entry level of the apartment, there are three double bedrooms, including a principal suite with fitted wardrobes and a luxurious ensuite bathroom. Both the ensuite and the family bathroom are finished to a superior standard, with Artési sanitaryware, Hans Grohe fixtures, and a statement Antonio Lupi freestanding bath. Porcelain tiled floors and walls, heated mirrors, and feature lighting complete the sense of understated luxury throughout.

A striking spiral staircase rises to the upper duplex level, offering a versatile open space ideal as a home office, snug, or additional lounge area/games room — perfect for relaxation or entertaining while enjoying harbour aspects and sea glimpses. Bi-folding doors open up onto the terrace space, a wonderful place to capture the sunsets over Poole Harbour.

A short stroll leads to golden beaches, Poole Harbour, and a vibrant selection of cafés and restaurants. There are local Yacht Clubs within easy reach perfect for enjoying the Sandbanks lifestyle.

The peninsula offers a rare combination of coastal vibrancy and seclusion, surrounded by Poole Harbour on one side and Poole Bay on the other. Residents enjoy a lifestyle that blends outdoor breathtaking scenery with relaxed sophistication — from morning walks along the award-winning sands and paddleboarding on the calm harbour waters, to leisurely afternoons spent at nearby shops, cafés, and beauty salons in Canford Cliffs and Lilliput.

Set within a sylvan yet coastal position, this penthouse enjoys a unique sense of peace and privacy, framed by mature greenery while opening up to far-reaching harbour aspects and gentle sea glimpses. It’s an exceptional spot to relocate, retire, or create a second home — offering the perfect balance of natural calm, coastal energy, and refined living.

Despite its peaceful setting, Sandbanks is exceptionally well connected. London Waterloo can be reached in around two hours by train from nearby Poole or Bournemouth stations, while Central London is approximately a two-and-a-half-hour drive, making it ideal for both full-time residents and weekend retreats. Bournemouth Airport, just 10 miles away, offers flights to multiple UK and European destinations — ensuring travel is as effortless as the lifestyle itself.
