Rhode House, The Horseshoe, Sandbanks

The main dwelling is approached through a private gate that opens into a Mediterranean-style courtyard and seating area leading to the front door and living space. This private space has been designed with easy maintenance in mind and is a sunbathers haven as it's sheltered from the wind and enjoys all day sunshine. Spanning just over 4000 sq.ft, this contemporary home enjoys views from all the principal rooms. The impressive open plan split level living space is a wonderful place in which to entertain. The modern kitchen boasts a range of integrated appliances and a large central island, with additional space for dining and relaxing. Large sliding doors lead onto the Mediterranean low-maintenance garden, which is a suntrap for morning coffee or lunch, designed for easy management with faux grass and evergreen borders. Beyond the kitchen, you step down into an inviting living and formal dining area with access to a side terrace that leads to the lower terrace. Floor-to-ceiling windows and doors provide uninterrupted views over the harbour and lead to a dedicated sun balcony, offering the same mesmerising views. On the first floor, the principal bedroom boasts a luxurious en-suite bathroom, a separate dressing room and a private sun balcony with breathtaking harbour views. Bedrooms two, three and four feature luxurious en-suites and fitted wardrobes, and one with a dedicated balcony.

The ground floor entertainment room/office is beautifully appointed with a hidden bespoke bar and drink fridges, leading out directly onto the terrace, making it the perfect place to watch the sunset and catch the last of the evening sun. Adjacent to this is another bedroom and en-suite with access to its private terrace. This floor can be accessed separately via a private gate and also from the secure underground garaging, making it ideal for an annex or teenager's haven. For the water enthusiast, the large wet room adjoining the utility room is an ideal place to dry clothes and wash off after a day on the water.

The lower hall provides direct access to the secure underground parking area, privately allocated to each of the three houses. There is an opportunity to partition the allocated section for the house, providing an ideal space for additional cars/jet skis, or to use the area as a gym or games room. This space offers secure access to both the house and the Sandbanks Yacht Company (SYC) slipway via a remote-controlled shutter.
