A fabulous 4/5-bedroom detached waterfront home set against the stunning backdrop of The Solent with direct water frontage and uninterrupted sea views to the New Forest shoreline beyond.

Waters Edge is located in an elevated position offering commanding views across The Western Solent. It is situated on an exclusive small development just outside Yarmouth and is the perfect coastal retreat for those looking either for a second home, or a main family home. There is flexible and extensive living accommodation downstairs and three large bedrooms upstairs, the property is set within good-sized gardens; with an enclosed south-facing lawn and terrace to the front with an impressive gently sloping lawn that leads all the way to the water's edge at the rear. There are five properties in the higher Waters Edge row, and all have a right of way between each property close to the sea wall. There are examples of three neighbouring properties having obtained permission and now constructed a timber jetty allowing direct access onto boats or for swimming/fishing off.
Built approximately 35 years ago, number 2 is a chalet style property with an 'Alpine' feel to its appearance. The original cladding has been replaced with a weatherproof faux timber and the property has been well maintained. There are double glazed windows and doors with excellent sliding doors allowing good access to outside to make the most of this magnificent location.

Position - Port La Salle is just a two-minute drive, or an easy flat walk away from the popular and bustling historic harbour town of Yarmouth.

Bedroom 4/Tv Room - Currently used as a second lounge, this good-sized room with a sunny, south-facing aspect would work equally well as a separate children's playroom, or a fourth downstairs bedroom. With double windows to the front, overlooking the garden, windows to the rear.

Rear Garden - The real showstopper, it becomes obvious why the development is so named with the extensive rear garden leading all the way down to the water's edge.
