This exceptional family home, set within three acres of beautifully balanced gardens and grounds, was originally built in 1911 and has been reimagined to the highest standards while retaining its original character. In only its third ownership, the house combines a history with contemporary design, its rooms designed to embrace both light and outlook.





The principal living spaces are defined by their connection to the landscape. The sitting and family rooms face south towards the water, while the expansive kitchen and living room extend across the full width of the house, opening onto broad terraces that catch the late afternoon sun. Upstairs, the principal suite offers commanding coastal views, complemented by two further ensuite bedrooms.





A reimagined annexe, linked to the main house yet able to stand alone, provides generous guest accommodation. It encompasses its own principal suite, two additional bedrooms, and an impressive open-plan kitchen and living space, all overlooking the gardens and pool.





The grounds are as considered as the house itself. A limestone-framed swimming pool is the centrepiece, ideal for a sunrise swim or evening dip after a day on the water. Beyond are sweeping lawns, a paddock, and alfresco dining areas that follow the light throughout the day. Practical elements are subtly integrated, from the boathouse with wine store to the double carport and plant room.





Keyhaven is a small and atmospheric harbour village on the western edge of the Solent, long cherished by sailors, birdwatchers and those seeking peace and seclusion. The Keyhaven Yacht Club sits at the heart of the community, while the historic Gun Inn offers excellent food in a welcoming setting.





Nearby, Milford on Sea has a lively mix of cafés, restaurants and independent shops, while Lymington, just a short drive away, offers boutique shopping, marinas and a broader range of amenities. The location is rare: directly on the coast with sweeping views of the Isle of Wight, yet moments from the open landscapes of the New Forest, with its ancient woods, heaths and bridlepaths.
