Hidden Studland Gem Offers Rare Sunshine, Privacy and a Pool with a View on the Exclusive Glebe Estate

Ballard Cottage has just launched to the market with DOMVS estate agents in the desirable village of Studland, often dubbed “the new Sandbanks”, but with a unique twist: privacy, evening sun, and serenity untouched by tourism.

Positioned on the exclusive Glebe Estate, this four-bedroom, four-bathroom home is set apart by uninterrupted views of both sea and countryside, a private heated pool, and one of the sunniest plots in the area. While Studland village below loses the sunshine by late afternoon, Ballard Cottage continues to bask in golden light thanks to its elevated, south-facing setting.

“This is one of those locations buyers wait years for,” says John Beauchamp, from DOMVS. “Studland is already one of the most sought-after spots on the South Coast, but the Glebe Estate takes it a step further – no traffic, no crowds, fewer planning restrictions and sun that lasts into the evening.”

The home has a fully landscaped garden with sun-drenched terraces, a deck that floats above the valley for sunset drinks, and a library landing with some of the most iconic views on the Jurassic Coast. Inside, every detail has been thoughtfully curated, including a Tesla Powerwall 2, ground source heating, and solar panels. Despite the pool and four bathrooms, energy bills average just £80/month.

The current owner, who has enjoyed the home for over a decade, says: “What we’ve loved most is the sense of escape, without ever feeling isolated. We love walking straight from the front door, up onto Ballard Down, through the woods, and looping back along the beach. The views are simply breathtaking, and South Beach, with its gin-clear water, is just magical.”

Studland has received increasing media attention as a refined alternative to Sandbanks, with The Times describing it as one of the UK’s “poshest seaside villages.” Yet within this exclusive postcode, the Glebe Estate offers even more, with fewer development restrictions compared with neighbouring conservation areas. 

Ballard Cottage is offered for sale through DOMVS with a guide price of £4,000,000. Early interest is anticipated.
