Glebe Estate, Studland, Swanage, Dorset, BH19

Perfectly positioned within the prestigious Ballard Glebe Estate, this extraordinary multi-level contemporary residence is a rare blend of cutting-edge architecture and natural beauty. Completed in 2017 and still under a new homes warranty, this modern marvel enjoys panoramic views that sweep across Studland Bay and the wider Dorset coastline, while also featuring the rolling Purbeck hills — a stunning canvas of sea and countryside from virtually every angle.

Designed with luxury living in mind, Ballard Glebe offers convenient lift access across all three levels and is surrounded by private, manicured grounds, including lush lawns, mature shrubbery, and a striking mirrored water feature that reflects the ever-changing sky. Whether you’re entertaining guests on the expansive terrace or enjoying a quiet morning coffee, the outdoor setting here is simply sublime.

At garden level, the home opens with impact. An indoor swimming pool sits at the heart of this floor, lined with floor-to-ceiling glass that overlooks the patio and surrounding landscape, blurring the line between indoor serenity and the outdoors. Adjacent to the pool, a seating area offers a tranquil space to unwind amid the greenery and thoughtfully designed grounds.

On the first floor, natural light pours into every space, accentuated by vast glass panels and sliding doors that open directly onto the impressive wraparound terrace — perfect for twilight soirées, summer brunches, or simply soaking in the uninterrupted views. The bespoke Simon Pirie kitchen with fitted Miele appliances is a culinary showpiece, featuring integrated appliances, multiple ovens, sleek cabinetry, a central island, and breakfast bar. A generous dining area faces out to the scenic coastline, and the open-plan reception room flows with ease, anchored by a sleek modern fireplace and elegant media wall. A separate formal lounge with mood lighting and integrated shelving adds to the warm ambiance. Completing this level are a separate utility and laundry room (with wine storage), a dedicated study with stunning outlooks, and a stylish guest WC.

The top floor hosts four spacious bedrooms, each crafted to offer privacy, comfort, and a personal connection to the views. The primary suite is nothing short of spectacular — a wall of glass frames uninterrupted countryside and sea vistas, while sliding doors lead to a private balcony. A large dressing room and spa-like en-suite with freestanding bath and floating double sink vanity complete the sanctuary. Bedroom two features its own en-suite with freestanding bath, fitted wardrobes, and balcony access. Bedrooms three and four also offer dressing areas, private shower rooms, and access to a shared top-floor terrace — each room a peaceful retreat, flooded with light and designed to showcase the surrounding natural splendour.

With private driveway access, a double garage, solar panels, and a private CCTV system, this home marries state-of-the-art living with elegance and security.

An iconic home in an iconic location — modern coastal living at its absolute finest.
