What the owners say: From the moment we first arrived at Lauriston, we knew the location was something truly special, a setting that feels both deeply peaceful and wonderfully connected to everything we love about coastal living. Positioned along Joss Gap Road, the house sits just moments from the sea, where the sound of waves and the fresh salt air are part of daily life. Being able to stroll down to Joss Bay or wander across to the sheltered beauty of Kingsgate Bay has been one of the greatest joys of living here; sunrise walks, impromptu beach days, and quiet evening moments by the water have become part of our rhythm. Directly opposite, the prestigious North Foreland Golf Course has been an extraordinary neighbour, its immaculate fairways and year‑round play offering not just convenience, but a sense of grandeur to the landscape. Whether you’re a golfer or simply appreciate the beauty of open green space, having it right across the road adds a rare and enviable dimension to everyday life. The coastline here is dotted with some of Kent’s most iconic beaches, each with its own charm. From the surf‑friendly curve of Joss Bay to the dramatic chalk cliffs of Kingsgate and the lively energy of Viking Bay just a little further along, we’ve always felt spoiled for choice. Every season brings its own magic, summer swims, autumn walks, winter storms rolling in across the water. And of course, no description of this location would be complete without mentioning Captain Digby which sits perched atop the cliffs overlooking Kingsgate Bay.

I regularly travel to London either via The M4 Junction 15 – 75 miles or by train – just under an hour Paddington to London, or you can travel from Hungerford.

A spacious and bright four-bedroom freehold house extending to approximately 1,820 sq ft, with two integral garages and impressive proportions, arranged across two floors within one of Belsize Village’s quietest, beautifully maintained private gated settings. Chain-free and comfortable for immediate occupation, the property offers an exceptional combination of privacy, generous living space, everyday convenience and future potential, just a 10-minute walk from Belsize Park and Swiss Cottage Underground stations: an absolute must-see. Quietly positioned behind secure gates, this substantial home forms part of an attractive landscaped courtyard. The setting feels peaceful, private and exceptionally well cared for, while the cafés, restaurants, independent shops and everyday amenities that give this corner of NW3 its enduring appeal are only moments away. The house is notably larger and wider than its neighbours, extending to approximately 1,820 sq ft including the twin garages. That scale is one of its most compelling qualities. What drew the current owners was the way the house is arranged across two floors rather than vertically, creating an easy and practical flow that lends itself naturally to family living and entertaining. The ground floor is arranged around an impressive reception and dining room, its tall windows overlooking the landscaped courtyard. The space has a calm, open feel, with proportions that hold both a formal and a relaxed living area without compromise. An open staircase adds architectural interest, while the room's width gives a sense of volume rarely found in a central London mews. The kitchen sits semi-open to the main living space, with generous storage, worktop space and integrated appliances. It is a practical setting for everyday use that stays naturally connected to the entertaining area, allowing the ground floor to work as one large, sociable, flowing space. Upstairs, four double bedrooms are arranged across the first floor, each well lit by windows facing the front elevation and the quiet mews beyond. The main bedroom has a walk-in dressing area and an en-suite shower room, while a separate family bathroom serves the other three bedrooms. The layout adapts easily to families, guests, older children or a study, shifting with your needs over time. A particularly rare feature is the pair of integral garages. Space of this kind is hard to come by in central Belsize Park, and while their proportions suit a small-sized car, bicycles, equipment and storage, their real value lies in their potential. Subject to the necessary consents, one or both could be brought into the living accommodation, enlarging the ground floor and allowing the house to evolve further, as others within the mews have already done. The current owners have carried out various improvements over their ownership, including a new staircase, new floors, renewed kitchen appliances, a newer boiler and new carpets. The house is well maintained and immediately usable, while still offering a clear opportunity for a new owner to introduce a more contemporary specification and create a truly exceptional Belsize Village home. The setting is one of the property’s defining strengths. Discreetly positioned behind secure gates, the mews feels private, peaceful and exceptionally well cared for, with a genuine sense of arrival from the moment you enter. The landscaped courtyard and shared areas offer more than visual appeal; they create a calm, secure and welcoming environment where neighbours naturally come to know one another and children have been able to enjoy an unusual sense of freedom. The owners recall a setting where the children in the mews gathered easily, almost like one extended family. It is a warmth that cannot easily be recreated and a quality of community that is increasingly difficult to find so close to the centre of London. This sense of community is supported by a proactive, well-run residents' association made up of the owners themselves, who jointly hold a share in the communal garden and take real care over the long-term stewardship of the mews. The common parts are kept to a consistently high standard, and a carefully managed sinking fund means the development is run responsibly, with discipline and an eye to the future. For a buyer seeking not only a home but a secure and stable setting, that the residents own and manage it together matters as much as the house itself. Living here offers a rare balance: the privacy of a gated mews with the immediacy of village life. The independent cafés, restaurants, shops and services of Belsize Village are part of the everyday rhythm, while Belsize Park (Northern line), Swiss Cottage (Jubilee line) and Finchley Road are all within easy reach. Hampstead Heath lies close to the north, with Primrose Hill, Regent's Park and the open green of central London a short way south. A Note from the Owner: We have loved this house for many years. It has been a calm, private and practical family home, with generous space, good natural light and a rare sense of quietness so close to Belsize Village. What first attracted us was the scale of the property. It always felt unusually generous, arranged over two floors in a way that makes day-to-day living feel easy and comfortable. We also recognised its future potential from the outset. With two integral garages and generous proportions, there is clear scope for a new owner to reimagine and further elevate the house, as other neighbouring properties have done, subject to the necessary consents. The gated setting itself is very special. It is beautifully maintained and wonderfully peaceful, while still being moments from the village. The shared communal areas have created a safe and welcoming environment over the years, particularly for children, and there has always been a genuine sense of community. The residents' association is well run, with the common parts maintained to a high standard. The annual maintenance contribution is just under £1,000, and a gardener is arranged as required to look after the planting and garden areas, helping to keep the setting attractive and well cared for. Over the course of our ownership, we have carried out practical updates where required, including a new staircase, new flooring, renewed kitchen appliances, a newer boiler and replacement carpets. A specialist polished plaster finish remains one of the more distinctive design details, bringing warmth, texture and a quietly bespoke quality to the stairwell and principal living areas. The house is comfortable and usable as it stands, while still offering an incoming owner the opportunity to modernise, reconfigure and take it forward. Given how much we have valued the house, we wanted to present everything clearly and in its proper context. By way of background, several years ago, as can occasionally occur where trees are nearby, roots from a tree outside the property meant that an area at the rear needed some attention. The matter was formally assessed by the appointed professionals and, as a precaution, the area was kept under professional review for more than a year to confirm that everything remained satisfactory and to establish the appropriate work. The recommended work was then completed in full and formally signed off with a Certificate of Structural Adequacy. A contractor’s warranty was also issued for the completed work. As part of preparing the house for sale, we also commissioned an independent RICS Level 2 survey in June 2026 to provide a recent professional overview of the property as a whole. Buyers should, of course, commission their own independent survey as part of the usual purchasing process. Our survey and the full supporting documentation are available to interested buyers and their advisers. This has been a much-valued home in a setting that has given us privacy, calm, community and exceptional everyday convenience. The house still holds exciting potential, and we hope the next owner will enjoy the life it offers now and the possibilities it may hold for the years ahead. The property also offers attractive longer-term potential. Subject to all necessary permissions and consents, there may be scope to add a further floor with a roof terrace, balcony or both, or to incorporate one or both integral garages into the living accommodation, as has been done elsewhere within the mews. The result is a home of unusual breadth and promise; a four-bedroom freehold house with two garages, ample storage, generous living space, a peaceful gated setting, a strong community of residents, and excellent potential for remodelling or extension, subject to the necessary consents. Homes of this nature in Belsize Village rarely come to market. With its combination of scale, privacy, security, and possibility, this property offers immediate appeal and long-term opportunity. It is an absolute must-see. Viewing: Please quote reference PZA to arrange a private viewing.

Maidenstone Heath is one of the most historically significant private residences in Hampshire - a substantial period house of medieval origin set within approximately 3.5 acres of landscaped grounds on the west bank of the River Hamble, with its own private lake, a detached one-bedroom cottage, boathouse and double garage, extending in total to over 8,200 square feet across the main house, annexe and outbuildings. Offering five principal bedrooms, three bathrooms, five reception rooms and a suite of first-floor offices, it presents a rare combination of historic provenance, generous family accommodation and practical workspace in one of Bursledon's most secluded and sought-after positions. The name Maidenstone Heath appears in the historical record as far back as 1353, when a deed recorded a grant of land at the site, and the estate is known to have supported a settled community from at least the 14th century - possibly earlier. The Oysel, Sonday, Blundell and Spencer Smith families are all woven into its story across six centuries, and the property lane itself - Blundell Lane, understood to follow the course of an ancient Saxon drove road to. Winchester - bears the name of the family who owned the estate for much of the 19th century. The core of the present house is understood to date from the 16th century, and the estate retains a quality of timelessness rare in a property so close to both the motorway and the city. Approached via a long, sweeping private drive that curves through mature planting to a broad gravelled sweep in front of the house, the setting immediately conveys the seclusion and scale of the property. The house sits well back from the lane, screened by established trees, and the front grounds open directly towards the River Hamble, with views across the water from the principal elevations. The architecture is characterful and unhurried - warm brickwork, generous proportions and a rhythm of tall sash windows reflecting the Victorian-era improvements that shaped the house into the substantial residence it is today. Accommodation The ground floor is arranged around a generous central lobby, from which the principal reception rooms unfold with a natural sense of flow. Five distinct reception spaces serve a variety of purposes: a sitting room of considerable proportions (just over 24 feet in length), a formal dining room of similar scale, an elegant drawing room extending to over 28 feet - the largest room in the house and a natural venue for entertaining - and a quieter reading room[KM1.1]. A fully equipped gym completes the ground-floor reception accommodation, occupying a well-proportioned room adjoining the kitchen wing. The kitchen and breakfast room lies at the heart of the domestic side of the house, with space for both a cooking and dining area, and connects directly to a utility room of practical scale. The rear section of the first floor has been thoughtfully arranged as a self-contained working environment, with four separate offices of varying sizes, served by their own circulation space and entirely separate in character from the residential accommodation at the front. This arrangement — professional yet private, integrated yet discreet - makes Maidenstone Heath genuinely suitable for those running a significant business from home without compromise to family life. The residential first floor is entered from the main staircase and opens onto a broad landing serving the principal bedroom suite, which is exceptionally generous at nearly 18 by 17 feet, with a dedicated dressing room and en-suite bathroom. Two further double bedrooms and a family shower room complete this level, together with a versatile playroom. The second floor provides two further bedrooms - both good doubles - alongside a cosy snug ideal for a sitting room or quiet retreat, and a four-piece bathroom of notable quality. A terrace[KM2.1] is also accessed from this level, providing an elevated outdoor space with views across the grounds. The Cottage Set within the grounds and entirely independent of the main house, the detached annexe offers an open-plan lounge and kitchen, a bedroom and Two bathroom[KM3.1]s, one with a bath and another with a shower - well suited to use as a guest suite, staff accommodation or a source of rental income. It adds a further 678 square feet to the overall accommodation. Grounds and Outbuildings The grounds extend to approximately 3.5 acres and have been landscaped to make the most of the waterside position. A private boating lake sits within the grounds - an extraordinary feature for a residential property - with a substantial boathouse extending to approximately 1,000 square feet, offering excellent storage and convenient access to the nearby waterfront. The sweeping driveway is itself a statement arrival, with established planting on either side giving the approach a sense of ceremony. Ample off-road parking is provided. A substantial outbuilding - nearly 1,000 square feet across two floors, with a barn and store - provides considerable scope for further workshop, storage or conversion, subject to consent. The front grounds enjoy open views over the River Hamble, with the changing light on the water forming a constant and captivating backdrop throughout the day. A public footpath from Blundell Lane runs north along the river directly into the River Hamble Country Park, providing immediate access to miles of walking along the shoreline without setting foot on a road. Location Bursledon occupies the western bank of the River Hamble at a point where the river widens before its estuary, and the village has been shaped by that relationship with the water across many centuries. The Jolly Sailor, one of Hampshire's most celebrated waterside pubs, and the nearby Elephant Boatyard - where vessels including HMS Elephant were built - are among the landmarks that recall the area's long shipbuilding and maritime heritage. The river itself offers sailing, paddleboarding, kayaking and fishing, and the Hamble is one of the most active sailing waters on the south coast. For everyday needs, the village has a good range of local facilities, and both Waitrose and Marks & Spencer are within easy reach. The River Hamble Country Park provides further open space and recreational amenity. The Hamble Sports Complex offers gym, pool and court facilities nearby. Southampton city centre is approximately 4.5 miles by road, with West Quay shopping centre, extensive dining, museums, galleries and cultural venues all accessible within a short drive. Southampton Airport is 6.6 miles from the property. Commuters are well served: Bursledon railway station is just 0.3 miles away, with services to Southampton Central in around 21 minutes and London Waterloo in approximately 1 hour 10 minutes via Southampton Airport Parkway. The M27 Junction 8 is 1.5 miles from the property, connecting directly to the M3 for London.

With spectacular sea views from every room, this is as close to island living as you will get, without having to leave the shore.  Balcary Tower is wonderfully situated and comprises a traditional C Listed tower house with integral garage, set within a very private location amongst mature and well-maintained grounds. The property boasts some of the most incredible coastal and mountain vistas in the UK and enjoys direct beach access, with a tidal swimming pool, private slipway and large, modern boathouse. In addition, there are lovely, mature wooded garden grounds, superb terraces for alfresco entertaining, and a 12 acre paddock.  The property was originally built in 1860 by Colonel Johnstone, who was the Laird of Auchencairn House, and we understand it to have been built for his French governess and mistress. The Tower was extended in the 1960s and 70s and then completely overhauled and renovated in 2012.  During this recent renovation no stone was left unturned, and the house was also rewired, replumbed and had a new waste treatment plant installed, at the time.  Balcary Tower is presently run as very successful luxury holiday let (winning a Gold ‘Gem’ award with Sykes in 2025) but would equally lend itself to being a fantastic family home.    Rare to the market, with high quality fixtures and fittings throughout and stunning views from every room, this property really needs to be viewed in person to be truly appreciated.   Accommodation Balcary Tower offers flexible and spacious accommodation, with 4 double bedrooms and 2-3 reception rooms. High quality fixtures and fittings are evident throughout. The open plan kitchen/breakfast/family room is a wonderful entertaining space and enjoys sea views from two elevations.  The kitchen would appeal to any chef, with an abundance of storage, granite worksurfaces and a large central island.  Top of the range appliances include a Liebherr fridge freezer and Gaggenau steam oven, electric oven with warming drawer, and dishwasher and there is a bespoke dining bench and table.  The living area offers ample space for furniture, enjoys a modern wood burning stove and boasts fantastic views over the pool and out to sea, with direct access to a raised terrace via French doors.  The drawing room and dining room are located at the opposite end of the house, and the two rooms are connected by a few shallow steps.  Naturally, both rooms offer unrivalled coastal views, and the drawing room also has a wood burning stove and French doors that lead out to a gravelled terrace. Also on the ground floor is a bright double bedroom, with ‘Jack and Jill’ ensuite shower room, a useful utility room, cloakroom/WC and a storage cupboard. On the first floor, two very attractive bedroom suites can be found. The principal bedroom suite boasts a triple aspect, with charming sash windows, working shutters and a generous walk-in wardrobe/dressing room. The ensuite bathroom has an incredible, large picture window overlooking the sea, with a central bath, generous shower, and fitted storage.   The second bedroom on the first floor also enjoys a triple aspect with sash windows and working shutters, a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite bathroom comprising shower over bath. On the second floor another bright and well-proportioned double bedroom can be found, again which enjoys a triple aspect and incredible views, and there is an adjacent bathroom comprising shower over the bath.  From the second floor there is a wooden staircase rising to an insulated and electronically operated roof hatch, giving access to the roof of the tower, and offering 360-degree views of the estuary, Hestan Island, the mountains, garden and surrounding countryside.    Outside The property is approached via Shore Road from Auchencairn, which is a quiet road that follows the shoreline to the private entrance to Balcary Tower.  A gated entrance and tarmac driveway winds through the wooded grounds, following the shoreline, to generous parking and turning areas by the house and boathouse.  There are various areas from which to sit and enjoy the coastal views, including sheltered terraces, ideal for alfresco entertaining.  There is direct beach access, which is quite remarkable and really makes the beach an extension of the grounds. The gardens are landscaped into the natural sloping topography of the land around and behind the house.  To the rear of the property a path leads up to a lovely, wooded garden, filled with specimen trees, rhododendrons and other mature shrubs and plants.  There is a pond, winding paths lead through the trees, and there is a lawned area housing raised vegetable beds and a greenhouse, and a separate fruit garden. An area of woodland, with rhododendrons and azaleas also flank the driveway and provide a high level of privacy.   The rock-cut swimming pool fills naturally with sea water at high tide and has a sluice gate so that water can be changed if necessary.  This offers an infinity style pool setting and brings wild swimming to your doorstep! Finally, the property enjoys haaf (half) netting fishing rights, which is a traditional method of catching fish.  It requires an angler to stand waist-deep with a large, handheld net, and by law the net cannot be fixed, stuck in the mud, or left unattended.  Dumfries & Galloway Council issue the annual haaf net permits.  Boathouse There is a large steel framed shed (15m x 8m) which was constructed in 2013 and serves as a boathouse and office/workshop space, located opposite to the slipway.  The boathouse has a concrete floor, steel stairs to a generous mezzanine area, power and light, hot and cold running water, an electric roller door, and separate pedestrian access. Land The paddock extends to just under 12 acres and would be ideal for grazing of small animals or perhaps for equestrian use.  There is ample space to erect buildings suitable for animals in the field, subject to consents.  Access and Rights of Way Balcary Tower is accessed via a half mile private driveway leading from the end of the public road at Balcary Bay. The owners of The Boat House further around the peninsula have a right of access over the first 100 yards of the driveway and over the track through the paddock.
