Harry Redknapp sees 50ft racing boat CRASH into garden of new £12m Sandbanks mansion
Harry Redknapp was shocked after a boat crashed into the garden of his new multi-million pound mansion. Redknapp and his wife Sanda have spent a fortune creating their dream home on the exclusive Sandbanks peninsula in Bournemouth. They paid £7million for a house in the Millionaire's Row area where they have previously owned two houses, only to demolish it and build a grand villa, which experts estimate cost £12m. One of the reasons they went to such lengths to move from the Branksome Park area of Bournemouth back to Sandbanks was their love of the sea. But their view of Poole Harbour was ruined on Monday when a 50ft trimaran came crashing into their private jetty. The three-hulled £25,000 boat, called Three Cheers, was blown off-course and ended up getting stuck underneath the Redknapps' jetty. The Sun reports that Redknapp was 'left stunned' by the sailing accident. A spokesperson for Poole Lifeboat said: "A 50ft trimaran was passing through Poole Harbour on passage. "With no engine at the time, it got into difficulty and ended up aground and wedged under a jetty near North Haven Point. The lifeboat volunteers were swiftly on scene and found that the casualties were all ashore, safe and well and did not require assistance." The Redknapps' Italianate villa has been built on the narrow plot of land and features Palladian-style columns plus four separate balconies with wrought iron railings. It is situated on the north west corner of Millionaire's Row and looks out towards Poole Harbour. While it is a dream home for the ex-football manager and his wife, it caused a stir among locals. The house is inside the Sandbanks conservation area and the Sandbanks Neighbourhood Forum had objected to the villa. The group claimed it would have a 'detrimental effect' on the area. Next-door neighbour Alison Wheeler believed the new villa would be too "overpowering" and "oppressive". She also feared it would have a "major impact on our privacy". The objections forced the architect to go back to the drawing board and make the designs narrower, so as not to impact on the properties either side, while glazed privacy glass was insisted upon by planning officers. The new villa has a grand entrance hall, an open-plan living/kitchen/dining room, two reception rooms, a study, boot room and five en-suite bedrooms. It also features a double garage with room for a gym, while there is a boat house at the bottom of the garden by the jetty, which has access to Poole Harbour. Redknapp, 78, has not managed a club since Birmingham City in 2017 and won I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here in 2018.

Harry Redknapp gets unwelcome visitor as huge 50ft racing yacht crashes into jetty at the bottom of the garden of his brand new Sandbanks home
A huge 50-foot racing yacht crashed into a jetty at the bottom of the garden of Harry Redknapp's brand new Sandbanks mansion. The vessel was swept towards the north shore of the exclusive peninsula in Poole Harbour by strong winds. It collided with the wooden pier belonging to the former Tottenham and West Ham manager's next-door neighbour, businessman Nigel Walters. The four occupants were able to safely step off, but the trimaran, called Three Cheers, remained wedged under the structure. The Poole lifeboat and Poole coastguard were called out to assist, but the crew ended up calling a local recovery company to remove the boat. A spokesperson for Poole Lifeboat said: 'A 50ft trimaran was passing through Poole Harbour on passage. 'With no engine at the time, it got into difficulty and ended up aground and wedged under a jetty near North Haven Point. 'The lifeboat volunteers were swiftly on scene and found that the casualties were all ashore, safe and well and did not require assistance.' Harry and Sandra Redknapp's new Italianate villa is being built on the Sandbanks waterfront. The couple paid £7million for a 60-year-old house that stood on the plot before bulldozzing it and now the new Italian inspired property sits in its place. They had spent two years living in a leafy inland suburb of Poole, but it is thought they missed a sea view, so they bought the waterfront property. The mansion will have spectacular views of Brownsea Island, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The latest photos of the project show that the three-storey villa is quickly taking shape. The shell and the roof of the mansion have been built with huge gaps in the walls left for the windows and doors. The back garden is also being formed with the outline of concrete steps leading down to the harbour's edge. The rectangular building that will be a boathouse has also been constructed. When it is complete, the luxury villa will have a grand entrance hall, a huge open-plan living/kitchen/dining room, two reception rooms, a study, a boot room and five en suite bedrooms as well as a double garage at the front which will have room for a gymnasium. The white-rendering to the external walls will be in keeping with properties around Lake Como, as will the Palladian-style columns and four separate balconies with black wrought iron railings. When finished, the property will be worth about £12million. When the proposals were first tabled, one neighbour, Alison Wheeler said: 'The proposed building is overpowering. I fear it would feel oppressive. 'The quiet enjoyment of our garden would be seriously impacted by the windows in the new south-west wing. The addition of several ground and first-floor windows... would have a major impact on our privacy. 'It would create shadow in the morning and significantly reduce the light on the south-eastern aspect of our house.' Another resident, Nicola Bailey, added: 'The proposed development... does not seem to respect the "spacing between plots".' Chris Shipperley, of ARC Architects, acting for the Redknapps, said the couple had already revised the plans to appease locals, including lowering the property's height and making it narrower. Luxury properties on the edges of the peninsula have gardens running down to the water and private jetties with direct access to Poole Harbour.
