This is a record for the notoriously pricey Sandbanks peninsula and makes it one of the most expensive family homes to ever sell outside of London.
Savills said the new owner of The Moorings is a female buyer from London who purchased it as a second home. As a result, she will be landed with a stamp duty bill of £1.1 million.
Other properties have achieved higher prices, but they tend to be country manors or estates with land and further cottages in their grounds.
Keith Fensom, from Savills Canford Cliffs, who handled the sale, said: 'I consider this to be the most desirable grand property on the exclusive Sandbanks peninsula.
