    About this property

    • Set within one of the most picturesque and unspoilt settings imaginable, this former yachtsman’s cabin enjoys wonderful views across a beautiful stretch of the Beaulieu River. The property forms part of an exceptionally rare collection of just 8 traditional cabins, of which only 4 benefits from river views, and is seldom available to the market, with only two having been sold in the past 30 years.

      The property has been skilfully and sympathetically updated throughout to an exceptional standard, creating a superb living environment within a tranquil natural setting, ideal for those seeking a peaceful retreat from the pace of everyday life. The accommodation has been thoughtfully designed to make the most of its exceptional setting, with every room enjoying a delightful outlook.

      An entrance porch with built-in storage cupboards leads through to the reception hall. On the ground floor, there is a generously proportioned principal bedroom with a luxurious en-suite bathroom. This room benefits from a dual aspect and features two sets of doors opening onto a decked terrace. A second bedroom is also located on the ground floor, together with a useful walk-in storage area. A striking white spiral staircase, complemented by a semi-circular feature window, rises to the first floor where the impressive open-plan sitting room is centred around an open fireplace, creating a warm and inviting living space. Two sets of double-glazed doors open onto an expansive balcony, ideal for al fresco dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing while enjoying the ever-changing surroundings. Adjoining the sitting room is a beautifully appointed kitchen fitted with integrated appliances, while a separate shower room completes the first-floor accommodation.

      There is also an open planning application relating to the proposed infill downstairs, which has the potential to create additional square footage and represents an exciting opportunity for enhancement.

      Outside, the property is surrounded by natural gardens that blend seamlessly with the lightly wooded setting. There is ample parking for several vehicles to the front and side of the house.
