Where the past meets the future

Steeped in History

It’s hard to imagine that the Sandbanks of today had such humble beginnings as an uninhabited peninsula of sand crossing the mouth of Poole Harbour on the English Channel. It is now internationally known as one of the most covetted place to live and visit in the world.

Sandbanks has gained a reputation as a sun-soaked millionaire’s playground and the 3rd most expensive place to live in the world. Property in Sandbanks sell for £millions but with unique, stunning scenery, access to watersports facilities and world-renowned yacht clubs it’s not hard to see why. It also now attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors and holidaymakers every year who are looking to experience the lifestyle of the rich and famous.

Just 100 years ago in the late Victorian era, this relatively inoquous sandy wasteland was cut off from the mainland and unrecognisable from the famous coastal holiday resort of today.

Post First World War, a road was built to connect the then named “Parkstone-on-Sea” to the mainland and holidaymakers began to flock to the area.

It wasn’t until the wit and guile of local estate agents in the 1990’s, namely Rumsey & Rumsey being one of particular note, who began to see real market opportunity in developing Sandbanks in to what is now commonly referred to as “Britain’s Palm Beach”.
