Description
ABOUT THIS HOUSE
The Breakers is a rare waterfront home in the peaceful sailing village of Keyhaven, beautifully refurbished and extended to the highest possible standards while retaining its original 1911 character. In only its third ownership since being built, the house has been reimagined for modern living yet remains steeped in history.
From its principal rooms and gardens there are sweeping views down the Keyhaven River to the historic Hurst Castle and sweeping, panoramic views of the Isle of Wight. It is a house designed around light and outlook: the sitting and family rooms gaze South, while the expansive kitchen and living room span the full width of the house, opening onto broad terraces that catch the late sun. Upstairs, the principal suite offers a commanding vantage point, joined by two further en-suite bedrooms.
A re-imagined annexe, seamlessly connected yet able to stand alone, provides generous guest accommodation with its own principal suite, two additional bedrooms, and an impressive open-plan kitchen and living space - all overlooking the gardens and pool.
Set within about three acres, the grounds strike a careful balance between formality and ease. The swimming pool, ensconced in limestone, is centrepiece - ideal for an early dip at sunrise or an evening swim after a long day out on the water. Beyond lie sweeping lawns, paddock, and al fresco dining areas designed to follow the light throughout the day. Practical touches are neatly integrated, from the Boat House with wine store to the double carport and plant room.
ABOUT THIS AREA
Keyhaven is a small, atmospheric harbour village at the western edge of the Solent. It has long been a haven for sailors, birdwatchers and those who prize peace and seclusion. The Yacht Club sits at the heart of the community, while the historic Gun Inn provides excellent food and a welcoming atmosphere.
The nearby village of Milford on Sea offers a lively mix of cafés, restaurants and independent shops, while Lymington, easily reached by car or bike , provides a broader range of amenities, marinas and boutique shopping. The location is unique: directly on the coast yet moments from the open landscapes of the New Forest, with its ancient woods, heaths and bridlepaths.
