A six-bedroom detached property in the sun-soaked millionaires’ playground of Sandbanks is for sale for £9million – but the older style property could end up being bought only to be knocked down.
The Dorset peninsula is known for having some of the most expensive property in the world, with older homes snapped up by developers who replace them with ultra contemporary designs.
Last month, Sandbanks was crowned Britain’s property hotspot, with asking prices increasing 20 per cent in a single year.

There are only a few older homes left on the desirable peninsula for developers to get their hands on – and it could be argued that the best has been left until last.
This is because the six-bedroom house for sale boasts a 35 meter width water frontage, with direct access onto Poole Harbour as well as its own jetty.
Fine & Country, which is one of the estate agents handling the sale, explained: ‘Super prime Sandbanks waterfront living awaits’.
The property enjoys a high degree of privacy, being discreetly hidden down a long drive.
It also sits on around an acre of land that is screened from the main road with an abundance of established trees and planting.

The property listing includes photos of the stunning waterside views from the house, and pictures of the exterior of the large home.
It shows no photos of the interior, with the agent explaining that it is in need of ‘major refurbishment’.
The agent said: ‘The property is in need of major refurbishment or could lend itself to be a development plot, subject to planning consents.’
It added: ‘Recognised as one of the world’s most exclusive places to live, Sandbanks enjoys international fam for its spectacular waterfront locations and award-winning sandy beaches.’
There is access to the water via the lawn and a private jetty.

It compares to £337,665 for the country as a whole, according to Zoopla.
