5 bedroom character property for sale

Port la Salle is a very prestigious private enclave of fascinating properties along the edge of the Solent, select homes having their own jetty, including the elegant this property. This delightful property is part of what was originally a large estate built for an aristocratic and wealthy family as their ‘holiday home' in 1880 and includes a self-contained annex and a gorgeous indoor swimming pool complex as well as many period features, such as high ceilings and period windows. As the property is not listed the owners were able to replace the original sash windows with double glazed replicas. The house is approached through a pair of tall wrought iron electric gates that lead to a vast frontage where you can park up to 10 cars and there is also an oak framed car port. A detached Gate House sits within the frontage, and ideal home office space if required. The entrance hall provides access to the light and bright triple aspect lounge with its virtually floor to ceiling windows, french doors to the kitchen and the impressive conservatory. The spacious dining room is ideal for those more formal occasions and family celebrations. The annex has an independent entrance through French doors from the garden into another conservatory that provides a bright seating area with steps up to the fitted kitchen area with a built-in cooker. There is also a shower room and a double bedroom as well as a ‘snug' or second bedroom so is ideal for adult children, elderly relatives or as a very lucrative holiday or long term let. The attractive galleried landing provides access to the family bathroom and four double bedrooms with lovely views including the guest room with an en suite shower. The spacious main bedroom suite has a large dressing room, a stunning en suite dual aspect bathroom with a bath, separate shower, twin basins, a bidet and a sauna as well as a dual aspect study that could always be another bedroom/nursery.

Outside the detached swimming pool complex includes a large, heated pool, a shower and toilet as well as the pump room. A charming summerhouse provides delightful views over the jetty and the Solent. The jetty includes a hoist and runners that enable boats to be moved in and out of the water and an adjacent boathouse provides useful storage. The home also owns the rights to a deep water mooring in the Solent.

What the Owner says:
We moved here about 14 years ago and it has been a wonderful family home but our circumstances have changed and we hope another family will be able to enjoy everything this very special home has to offer. We have enjoyed upgrading the property since we have been here by updating the annex, building the conservatory, adding solar panels and installing double glazed windows so it is much warmer and there is less maintenance and cost to run.

Whether you have boating interests, inter-generational requirements or would like to enhance your income, this place could be ideal. We had a motorboat and also rented out the annex, which can attract very high returns, particularly during the summer months and with the sailing fraternity. It is very quiet and peaceful and we are surrounded by farmland and the Bouldnor Forest Nature Reserve with its prehistoric past and where you can enjoy a pleasant walk.

It is only a mile to Yarmouth which, as well as the ferry port and marina, also includes a 16th century castle, a Grade II listed pier that provides views across The Solent and restaurants, bars and individual shops. There is also nearby Tapnell Park and Fort Victoria Park.
