Known as 'The Retreat', this home has been in the same ownership for over 30 years and retains its original development structure, allowing for extensive updates. Envisage transforming this dwelling into a modern coastal sanctuary while benefiting from sweeping views towards the Sandbanks peninsula and Brownsea Island. The ground floor features a generous integral garage along with utility and storage spaces, offering ample room for reconfiguration. The first-floor living areas, designed to maximize the breathtaking water views, include a fitted kitchen, sitting room, and dining area that all open onto an expansive balcony—ideal for al fresco entertaining or simply soaking in the stunning scenery. With two bedrooms on this level serviced by separate bathrooms, plus an impressive main suite upstairs featuring an en suite bathroom and study space, there's already a solid foundation upon which to enhance or expand further.

The rear garden boasts potential for significant enhancement to create a bespoke outdoor oasis tailored to your tastes. Situated in the highly sought-after Sandbanks area, renowned for its prestigious beachfront and vibrant recreational activities including sailing and golf, this property not only offers restoration possibilities but also promises substantial investment potential given local market dynamics.
