Situated on the east bank of the Beaulieu River, this 2 acre plot offers a tranquil retreat with breath-taking views and exceptional ecological features.
The existing 1960s-built, two-storey house, along with several small outbuildings, a detached garage, and an outdoor pool, is set within established gardens rich in mature trees and shrubbery, ensuring privacy and a peaceful atmosphere.
The approved replacement dwelling is a testament to outstanding design quality, integrating harmoniously with the site's natural features. The new home is designed around an entrance courtyard, reminiscent of traditional English country houses. The primary two-storey structure is complemented by single-storey wings and a further two-storey extension that aligns with the existing pergola, featuring a garden room and natural pool.
At the forefront of sustainable living, the new home boasts exceptional eco-friendly credentials. Constructed primarily from timber, the plans feature a highly insulated wood-fibre envelope, minimising air leakage and maximizing energy efficiency. A Ground Source Heat Pump and rooftop photovoltaic panels will ensure near-zero carbon emissions, while an Air Source Heat Pump will heat the natural pool. Smart metering, low-energy LED lighting, and strategic window placement enhance natural ventilation and daylighting, promoting a comfortable and environmentally conscious lifestyle.
The comprehensive landscape plans have been meticulously crafted to enhance the site's natural beauty and biodiversity. The garden will be transformed into a more biodiverse character, reflecting the New Forest's wood pasture and meadow habitats. Maturing oaks, native shrubs, and meadow flora will replace ornamental conifers and leylandii,. A new walled garden, designed with charm and low-key formality, will feature a sunny greenhouse, an orchard with various fruit trees, and pathways leading to secluded areas perfect for relaxation.
Materials and Construction: Utilisation of earthy grey English bond brickwork for the ground level and black stained vertical boarding for the upper levels ensures the dwelling will blend in with its surroundings. Dark bronze window frames and natural hardwood slats complement the overall design.
Water and Drainage: Rainwater collection and greywater systems will irrigate the garden, while a mini-sewage treatment plant will handle foul drainage.
Lighting and Glazing: The fenestration design minimises glare and light spillage, adhering to the Dark Skies policy.
Access to the property will remain via the existing entrance. The proposed parking area accommodates up to three cars, with additional visitor parking and a three-car garage equipped with electric vehicle charging points.
This exceptional waterfront opportunity offers a rare blend of luxury, sustainability, and natural beauty. The thoughtful design and eco-friendly features provide a modern sanctuary that respects and enhances its stunning riverside location. This is an unparalleled opportunity to own a prestigious home that embodies both architectural excellence and environmental stewardship.
