A waterfront mansion in Sandbanks, previously owned by Harry Redknapp, has been listed for sale at £12.5 million — nearly double the amount the former Tottenham Hotspur manager sold it for six years ago.
Property History and Renovation
Harry Redknapp and his wife Sandra purchased the property, named Solaris, for an estimated £4 million in 2015. Just five years later, they sold it for £6.8 million. Since then, the average UK house price has increased by just over 10%, but Solaris has undergone extensive renovation and remodelling.
The entire house has been transformed into a smart home with full app-based control, and a huge aquarium wall has been installed in the main hallway. The property also boasts an epic wellness suite in the basement and a state-of-the-art cinema room.
Current Market Listing
Now, the luxury home is back on the market for £12.5 million, making it one of the most expensive properties on the exclusive Sandbanks peninsula in Poole Harbour. The ground floor features a large kitchen diner and sunroom on one side of the hallway, and a long lounge and dining room on the other.
Upstairs, the first floor has three en-suite bedrooms and a study, while the top floor includes the master bedroom suite with walk-in wardrobes, a bathroom, and a fifth bedroom. The lower ground floor houses the 'extraordinary' private wellness suite, which includes an indoor swimming pool, hot tub, chill tub, steam room, professional-grade gym, and shower facilities.
There are balconies on the top floor, a large sun terrace at the back, and an immaculate lawn leading down to the sandy beach. Outside, there is a large garden and patio with ample space for sunbathing. Sandbanks' golden beach is just a few yards away, and a lift inside the property offers direct access to the waterfront.
