The space
The house has been designed with togetherness and relaxation in mind. From the moment you step through the vibrant red front door, you're welcomed into an expansive, light-filled reception where soaring glass walls bring the surrounding woodland and lake into every moment of your stay.

The ground floor flows seamlessly between open-plan living, dining and kitchen areas, making it easy to gather as a group. The bespoke kitchen is fully equipped for cooking feasts, whether you're preparing a casual breakfast or a celebratory dinner. An eight-seater dining table invites long, sociable meals, while multiple lounge areas provide space for everyone to relax, including a snug with a sofa bed, available for additional guests on request.

Glass walkways connect the wings of the house, creating a sense of adventure as you move between spaces. The master suite is a private haven, with a super-king-size bed a free-standing bath and dual walk-in showers overlooking the lake. Two additional king-size bedrooms and another super-king-size bedroom (can be twin beds on request), all with en-suites and terrace access, ensuring comfort and privacy for everyone.

A separate annexe provides extra flexibility with a gym and an extra bathroom. Outside, a wraparound balcony offers endless places for alfresco dining, stargazing or simply soaking up the surroundings. The house bridges a private lake and is encircled by eight acres of woodland, one island landscaped as a tranquil Japanese-style garden. A short walk away from the house, a private slipway leads directly to the River Hamble, inviting paddleboarding, kayaking or leisurely boat trips together.Bedroom configurations
