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 Seahaven. 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 two main reception rooms including the light and bright triple aspect lounge with its virtually floor to ceiling windows, attractive feature fireplace and multi-pane French doors to the kitchen and to the impressive conservatory.  The spacious dining room is ideal for those more formal occasions and family celebrations and it also has French doors to the kitchen and the bespoke conservatory. This was built by Firth of Stocksbridge and provides plenty of additional seating and dining space as well as lovely views over the garden and the Solent. The kitchen has a Smeg cooker, attractive units housing a dishwasher and a free-standing fridge freezer and the ground floor also includes a utility room with laundry facilities and a cloakroom as well as the annex. This 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 with feature archways 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, feature brick walls, a pine clad ceiling, a shower and toilet as well as the pump room and two sets of bi-fold doors that open on to the wraparound terrace that provides plenty of space for al fresco dining. There is a lawn bordered by mature trees and shrubs with a central flower bed as well as a pathway and steps down to the jetty that passes a charming summerhouse that 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.
