About this home

In a super location just across the road from the midway path to Sandbanks beach this charming apartment with sea view is an idyllic choice for those looking to enjoy a coastal lifestyle.

This spacious apartment in the iconic Showboat development is set in the heart of Sandbanks peninsula in a fantastic location just opposite the midway path leading right onto the beach. If you like sea swimming, kayaking or paddleboarding, walking and relaxing on the sand, or have children or grandchildren who love paddling and building sandcastles it couldn't be more convenient.

The first floor apartment is reached up a sweeping external staircase at the rear if the block. The front door opens into a hallway that accesses all accommodation. To the front of the apartment is a living/dining room that is angled to offer lovely sea views from the glazed doors and balcony. The balcony is a good size with space to relax and dine al fresco and the living room is bright and airy, neutrally decorated to a good standard.

There is a separate kitchen with integral appliances and plenty of worktop and storage space including a small breakfast bar seating area.

The principal bedroom offers plenty of built in wardrobe storage and a generous ensuite shower room. The window has a view of the sea through the trees and is a lovely place to wake up. The second bedroom is also a good sized double with fitted wardrobes and a family bathroom completes the apartment.

An ideal holiday home, UK base, lock-up-and-leave or downsize that offers an incredible Sandbanks lifestyle opportunity. The Seller will also cover the additional Stamp Duty Land Tax applicable for investors or second home buyers (5%)!

Internationally acknowledged, Sandbanks boasts the largest natural harbour in Europe (the second largest natural harbour in the world) with miles of golden sand and sheltered waters. It is perfect for either learning the latest water sport or simply lazing on the beach in the sun.

The beautiful award winning sandy beaches are only a short walk away while the open sea offers some of the best sailing and coastline right on your doorstep.

The Sandbanks Chain Ferry crosses the short stretch of water across to the Purbecks, giving access to Shell Bay, Swanage and the rest of the magnificent Jurassic coastline and stunning Purbeck countryside.

For eating out, the wonderful Rick Stein’s restaurant, next to Tailor Made’s office, is very popular and across the chain ferry is also the delightful The Pig On the Beach and The Fish Place. Sandbanks is also the home to the Royal Motor Yacht Club and Sandbanks Yacht Club.
