Description
Occupying a prime beachfront position on the exclusive Sandbanks Peninsula, Dune Crest offers a rare opportunity to enjoy one of the UK’s most desirable coastal lifestyles. This traditional 1970s building has recently undergone a stylish refurbishment of its communal areas, blending classic architecture with contemporary finishes.
Located on the third floor and accessible by lift or stairs, the apartment centres around a spacious L-shaped kitchen, living, and dining area. Dual-aspect windows and French doors lead to a private balcony, providing panoramic views of the coastline from Bournemouth to OId Harry Rocks across the beach and towards the open sea.
The kitchen is fully fitted with integrated appliances, complemented by an island with bar seating. The open-plan layout includes space for a dining table and a well presented living area.
There are three double bedrooms, all with a stunning sea view. The principal bedroom has a modern en-suite shower room and fitted wardrobes. A separate family bathroom, finished with premium tiling and branded fittings, completes the accommodation.
A truly unique feature of this apartment is the inclusion of a private beach hut with its own terrace, nestled among the dunes of Sandbanks Beach. Perfect for summer holidays or peaceful seaside moments, it captures the essence of coastal living. Additional benefits include a garage and residents' parking at the front of the block.
With its unbeatable beachfront location, refined interiors, and exclusive beach hut, Dune Crest offers a quintessential Sandbanks lifestyle – sufficiently spacious as a main residence or a perfect coastal retreat. With a pet-friendly policy, this can also be a home for all the family.
