Sandbanks Apartments, Dorset

Sandbanks is the tiny peninsula which lies between Poole Harbour in Dorset and the English Channel. 

Just half a square mile of golden sand it is purported to be the fourth most expensive area in the world in which to live, where 15 seaside homes are currently on the market for a combined asking price of £80 million! Given the resorts exclusivity, re-development is the order of the day, with homes just a few years old being demolished to make way for new buildings.

Part of the Pegasus Life portfolio, ACE is not an individual house but a development of nine three- and four-bedroomed open-plan apartments, complete with shared wellbeing area and private terrace leading onto the beach. 

Each apartment is light and bright, with floor to ceiling windows and balconies to take advantage of the stupendous views across Poole Harbour and out to sea.
