Description
Savills are delighted to offer for sale a piece of Sandbanks history positioned in a prestigious location. The Fo'c'sle is an exceptionally rare property that dates back to circa 1860. The property was originally built as the coast guard station and was one of the first buildings in Sandbanks. This is the first time the property has been offered for sale since approximately 1934.
Today the property stands as a well presented residential residence spanning a generous 1649 square feet. The current owners have maintained the property well and have recently fitted a new contemporary kitchen, bathroom and WC. This home would be ideal for a downsizer, as a holiday home retreat moments from the water or for someone looking to invest and buy into historic Sandbanks.
To the front of the attractive property there is a beautiful and manicured rose garden with a pathway leading to the front door with feature porch. Internally on the ground floor the property comprises of a large entrance hallway, through to the dining room, a spacious living room measuring an impressive 20ft in length, contemporary kitchen/ breakfast room which looks out onto the rear garden and a WC.
The first floor comprises the bedroom accommodation and is also where views across the harbour can be enjoyed. The main principal bedroom runs from front to back making it a generous space with lots of natural light. This bedroom has its own dressing area, built in wardrobes and a well-appointed en suite shower room. Bedroom two is the perfect guest or children’s room which too has ample built in wardrobes and a lovely outlook over the front aspect. Also on this level is the third bedroom and a great sized family bathroom.
Externally to the rear there is a secluded level southerly facing garden, boasting a patio area which is the perfect spot to sit out, entertain and dine al fresco and a lawned area to enjoy. There is also a good sized outbuilding which is multipurpose or could be removed to create a private parking area, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions. Vehicular access is gained via Gina Alley, an unadopted cul -de -sac with access rights to Panorama Road through the Royal Motor Yacht Club.
This property must be viewed to be fully appreciated for its history, character, charm and prime location.

Location
This is uniquely believed to be the oldest residential property on the Sandbanks Peninsula built c.1860 and served as part of the original Coastguard Station for Poole Harbour. The accommodation on the ground floor included the “Captains Room”.
The property as with the then entire undeveloped curtilage of Old Coastguard Road, Sandbanks formed part of Viscount Wimborne’s Canford Estate until 1922. The current ownership has passed by succession and has not been sold for over eighty years
Sandbanks is regarded as one of the most exclusive coastal areas in the UK and is renowned for its award-winning golden beaches and for being set on the second largest natural harbour in the world. These waters are famous for year-round sports including windsurfing, water skiing, jet skiing, kite surfing, paddle boarding, sailing and swimming and are also home to several marinas and yacht clubs including Sandbanks, Parkstone, Salterns and the prestigious Royal Motor Yacht Club.
If you’re not on (or in!) the water it’s a gorgeous backdrop for walking, jogging or cycling too; the route through Sandbanks and across to Studland and the Isle of Purbeck is a particular favourite for local cyclists.
The local area is a haven for nature lovers and there are many events in the area that allow you to experience the richness of wildlife in Poole and Dorset. There are bespoke bird-watching cruises and nature trails to enjoy. A trip by ferry to the National Trust gem of Brownsea Island is a delight.
Championship golf is available at Parkstone Golf Course and other local highly regarded clubs at Ferndown and Broadstone and further afield at Remedy Oak. The tennis community is strong locally at the The East Dorset Tennis & Croquet Club and The West Hants Tennis Club.
The seaside location is wonderful for families with so much to do for children of all ages from building sandcastles and paddling in the sea, to clubs for learning to surf, sail or kitesurf. There are outstanding local schools and prestigious Private School options within easy reach.
The property is conveniently located for the small parade of shops, wine bars and restaurants along Banks Road, Sandbanks, including Rick Stein’s highly successful restaurant which is a favourite with locals and visitors alike. Further options for eating out can be found nearby in Lilliput and Canford Cliffs villages, and you’ll find fine dining in the New Forest at The Pig or the Chewton Glen hotel & Spa, The Nici in Bournemouth and the Pig on the Beach at Studland. From your waterside home you can walk via the ferry to Shell Bay in Studland, or by boat to lunch at The Priory in Wareham, The Captains Club in Christchurch or even to gain a taste of Ibiza at The Hut on the Isle of Wight!
Arts are an important aspect of Poole’s creativity and heritage; the area has a strong and developing arts scene. The Lighthouse, which is Poole’s Centre for the Arts is the largest regional centre in the UK and home to the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.
Last but not least: a Premier League football Club is just 20 minutes drive away and affords a very stress free way of watching some of the world’s best footballers on your doorstep.
Commuting to London is very convenient with main line stations at Bournemouth and Poole offering regular services reaching London Waterloo within 2 hours. Step on to Sandbanks Beach, Walk to The Royal Motor Club and Sandbanks Yacht Club.
