An Architectural Masterpiece in the Heart of Netley Abbey

Designed by the esteemed Appletree Architecture and masterfully led by head architect Lee, this one-of-a-kind home in Sellwood Road stands as a statement of vision, craftsmanship, and modern luxury. Nestled within a private, secluded plot in the charming coastal suburb of Netley Abbey, this bespoke property showcases the finest in contemporary architectural design—offering a life less ordinary. With a bold, striking silhouette softened by warm textures and ambient lighting, the residence evokes both drama and serenity. Whether it’s the sweeping gable rooflines, the textural blend of natural wood cladding and exposed brick, or the soft evening glow cascading from LED uplights, this home doesn’t just impress—it inspires.

The Plot & Gardens – Privacy, Presence & Outdoor Living

Approached via a private driveway and accessed through electric gates, this secluded plot immediately sets a tone of exclusivity and calm. As you pass through the gates, the home reveals itself—perfectly centred within its surroundings and framed by a porcelain-tiled patio and expansive wraparound garden. The outdoor space has been curated as a natural extension of the home’s lifestyle-first ethos. From the refined steps that guide you toward the entrance, to the carefully landscaped lawn, every element has been thoughtfully considered. A designated fire pit seating zone invites evening gatherings under the stars, while a bespoke outdoor kitchen—featuring a Boss Grill—sets the scene for unforgettable al fresco dining. Also included is a luxurious six-man hot tub, a private steam sauna, a secure garden storage area, and ambient fence-line lighting that adds atmosphere and security. Ample parking is provided on the large driveway, comfortably accommodating multiple vehicles.

The Home – Bespoke Design Meets Everyday Luxury

Step inside, and the drama continues. A dedicated boot room with built-in bench seating and bespoke cabinetry provides a practical yet elegant welcome. Through glazed internal doors, the main lobby opens into a thoughtfully zoned floor plan—designed for both comfort and connection. A versatile snug, currently styled as a games room, sits at the front and could just as easily become a stylish home office. Opposite, a well-placed WC serves both this space and visiting guests. Two spacious ground-floor bedrooms each benefit from their own en-suite—one a luxurious four-piece suite with striking finishes and integrated storage. A separate utility room boasts a purpose-built dog shower and rear garden access—perfect after woodland walks in the nearby parklands. At the heart of the home is the spectacular kitchen/living/dining space, crowned by soaring vaulted ceilings, skylights, a picture window, and sliding glass doors that blur the boundary between indoors and out. The kitchen, finished in sleek matte black, features a downdraft induction hob, AEG double ovens, wine cooler, and a Bosch Wi-Fi-enabled coffee machine. The engineered oak flooring paired with underfloor heating creates an inviting and tactile experience throughout. Tech lovers will appreciate the Sonos-integrated audio system, electric blinds, Hikvision hardwired CCTV, and smart entry systems. And finally, the signature gable-end lounge with its exposed brick chimney, vaulted ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling glass is nothing short of extraordinary—a space that turns everyday living into something truly cinematic. Upstairs, two further double bedrooms mirror each other in layout and size, separated by a stylish central bathroom and enhanced by generous eaves storage—ideal for growing families or hosting guests.
