Description
One of the most prestigious waterfront properties on Dorset’s exclusive Silverlake nature reserve estate, Sandpiper is the epitome of luxury living. Sleeping 10 guests in 5 bedrooms, this property is situated at the head of Beaumont swimming lake and has direct access to the water from a private jetty. Guests at Sandpiper also have access to the Silverlake Estate facilities including an outdoor heated pool, spa, sauna, cycle trails, walking trails, lake beach and Firefly restaurant. Sandpiper is a perfect choice for multi-generational family gatherings or large groups of friends.
This stunning L-shaped contemporary architect-designed home offers guests’ peace, tranquillity and incredible far-reaching views over the lake to the nature reserve beyond. Every room to the rear of the house enjoys views over the water and each bedroom has access to the large covered balcony that spans the length of the house. Perfect for enjoying breakfast with a view!
On the ground floor is a spacious, contemporary and beautifully furnished open plan kitchen, living and dining room with a full wall of glazed patio doors providing uninterrupted garden and water views. The living area includes an oversize L-shape sofa, easy chairs and a log fire while the dining area easily accommodates up to 12 guests around the dining table. The high-end kitchen, with composite stone worktops and an island with seating for 4, offers everything you could possibly want to cater for large groups. There are two combination oven/microwaves, two main ovens, a five-ring induction hob, dishwasher, full height American-style fridge freezer with ice maker, and a coffee machine. Also on the ground floor is a separate media room with a smart TV and comfortable seating, a utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer and a cloakroom with WC.
Stairs from the large and light-filled entrance hall lead to the first floor where there are four king sized bedrooms and a zip and link king bedroom that can be set up as a twin if required (please advise at time of booking if the twin option is preferred). The master bedroom has a private balcony and an en-suite bathroom complete with shower and bath, a second king size room has an en-suite shower room and there is another family bathroom with shower and bath to service the three additional bedrooms.
Sandpiper benefits from a large deck to the rear, accessible from all ground floor rooms, that offers outdoor lounge furniture and a charcoal BBQ. An expansive lawned garden, whilst not enclosed, offers a good level of privacy and leads to the water’s edge and the private jetty for swimming or water-sports. A screened outdoor shower and sun loungers are also provided.
Outside the front is a large driveway that can accommodate up to 4 cars.
A cot and highchair are available for guest use. Please advise at time of booking if you require these to be made available. Please note that a cot mattress is not supplied, nor any cot bedding.
Bikes, paddle-boards and kayaks can be hired from the Activity Hub at Silverlake (in 2.5 hour slots). Bikes, kayaks and paddle-boards can also be arranged for the duration of your stay through Curated Cottages (delivered to Sandpiper and collected after the hire period). E-bike tours, a private chef and yacht trips can also be arranged. If you fancy making use of the log burner during your stay, a fire pack including logs, kindling and firelighters can be supplied at a small extra charge.

Location
Silverlake is a privately owned nature reserve holiday home estate between Weymouth and Dorchester, in easy reach of the Jurassic Coast and its beaches and attractions. Silverlake has acres of natural land to explore, an abundance of wildlife and freshwater lakes for swimming and water-sports.
In addition to an outdoor heated pool, spa and restaurant there are nature trails, cycle trails, a multi-purpose activity court, tennis and table tennis on site. There is also a sand beach at Beaumont Lake with freshwater swimming and a pontoon on the lake. Plenty to keep family and friends occupied whatever the season. Please note that booking is required for the pool, spa and restaurant and additional charges may apply for facilities.
Although there is plenty to keep you occupied at Silverlake, the area around is worth exploring. Consider visiting the historic city of Dorchester famous for Thomas Hardy's birthplace, hiking the South West coast path, visiting Portland Bill lighthouse or enjoying hunting for fossils in some of the Jurassic Coast coves. There are many beaches within a few miles of the property, including the safe and shallow Weymouth beach, the natural pebble beach at Ringstead Bay, the dramatic scenery of Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove, or the expansive Chesil beach near Portland.
