About the Property
Showboat is an iconic apartment block dating to the mid 1990s and architecturally designed with a nod to a classic Art Deco style. Situated on the second floor this spacious apartment has just been fully refurbished by the current owner to provide comfortable, stylish and modern accommodation ideal for a downsize or second home by the sea.
The apartment is accessed from the rear of the block with a flight of stairs rising to a communal entrance servicing just 4 apartments. There is a lift or stairs from this level up to the second floor where the front door opens into a private lobby space and on into the property.
The hallway is beautiful with stunning accent lighting illuminating a dropdown ceiling with moulded architrave edging. This attractive detail is reflected in traditional style features throughout adding elegant character to the home.
To the front aspect there is a spacious living/dining room, light and bright this welcoming space is zoned into a comfortable lounge looking out over the balcony with a view of the sandy beach and sea framed by the buildings opposite.
The balcony is a good size for relaxing and enjoying the view, and being on the top floor has an open aspect for maximum sunlight. To the back of the room there is space for a large dining area ideal for entertaining friends or family.
The kitchen looks over the rear of the block, it has been beautifully fitted with a range of modern low level and eye level units and integral branded appliances including a double oven, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and wine cooler, all completed with elegant quartz/stone worktops and feature splashbacks.
There is a principal bedroom which has fitted wardrobes and a luxurious 4-piece ensuite bath/shower room. A second double bedroom also with fitted wardrobes is served by an exquisite separate shower room, again beautifully fitted with feature tiling and lighting.
The apartment further benefits from allocated parking in the undercroft carpark and a private garage in a block. There are also extensive and beautifully landscaped communal gardens to the front of the block.

Internationally acknowledged, Sandbanks boasts the largest natural harbour in Europe (the second largest natural harbour in the world) with miles of golden sand and sheltered waters. It is perfect for either learning the latest water sport or simply lazing on the beach in the sun.
The beautiful award winning sandy beaches are only a short walk away while the open sea offers some of the best sailing and coastline right on your doorstep.
The Sandbanks Chain Ferry crosses the short stretch of water across to the Purbecks, giving access to Shell Bay, Swanage and the rest of the magnificent Jurassic coastline and stunning Purbeck countryside.
For eating out, the wonderful Rick Stein’s restaurant, next to Tailor Made’s office, is very popular and across the chain ferry is also the delightful The Pig On the Beach and The Fish Place. The area’s favourite Chinese restaurant, the renowned Ocean Palace, is located inside Sandbanks Hotel. Sandbanks is also the home to the Royal Motor Yacht Club and Sandbanks Yacht Club.
