Strada Costiera, Sandbanks, Poole, Dorset

“The Retreat” is aptly named given it’s ideally situated in a prime coastal location, boasting possibly one of the areas finest outlooks across Poole Harbour with a wide panoramic vista that stretches towards the Sandbanks peninsula, Brownsea Island and Poole Quay.

Offered for sale for the first time in over 30 years a waterside property that remains untouched from its original development. This presents a rare and exciting opportunity for the next owner to refurbish or redevelop altogether, subject to covenants including a height restrictive covenant and obtaining planning permission plus any other required consents. Nearby properties have achieved high sold prices further demonstrating the desirability of the location and potential.

On the ground floor, there is a large integral garage for several cars, a utility room, storage room and cloakroom. The accommodation was thoughtfully configured so that the principle living areas are on the first floor to take advantage of the wonderful water views, which are truly breath taking.

The fitted kitchen, sitting room and dining room all enjoy south westerly views across the active waters of Poole Harbour. There is a large balcony that stretches the width of both the sitting room and dining room. This is the perfect outside space to enjoy the water vista.

There are two bedrooms on the first floor with fitted wardrobes, which are each served by two separate bathrooms. The first floor is level to the rear garden therefore there is convenient access to and from the garden via the back door.

To the second floor, is an extremely spacious main bedroom suite with fitted wardrobes, a study/walk in wardrobe and the benefit of it’s own en suite bathroom. The views from this level are incredible and need to be seen in person to be fully appreciated.

Externally, this gated property is approached via a driveway with parking for a good number of cars. To the front, there are attractive landscaped borders and areas laid to lawn that create the perfect viewing platform of the Harbour. To the rear, there is a large patio area for entertaining plus a large area laid to lawn, with plenty of scope to create a very special outside area.
