Thornham Marina, Thornham Lane, PO10

A rare opportunity to acquire an architect-designed luxury floating retreat, currently situated in the attractive setting of Thornham Marina. Samphire offers beautifully presented, self-contained floating accommodation, with the potential for an approved purchaser to enter into a separate agreement for the Ark to remain at the marina.

Currently approached by water or from its mooring, Samphire immediately creates a sense of quiet separation from everyday life. Its striking architectural form is softened by natural surroundings, while expansive glazing allows light to pour into the interior and frames ever-changing views across the water. Wherever positioned, the surrounding landscape becomes part of the living experience itself.

Inside, the accommodation has been cleverly arranged to maximise both comfort and functionality. Designed with a calm, minimalist aesthetic, the open-plan living area transforms seamlessly into a sleeping space, creating an environment perfectly suited to a solo experience or couples seeking a peaceful escape. A sleek, fully fitted wet room and compact kitchenette ensure every practical detail has been carefully considered without compromising on style.

A glazed doorway opens directly onto a private deck, offering the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee, evening drinks, or simply sit and take in the tranquillity of any setting. Whether moored beside open water, nestled within a marina, or positioned in a secluded natural location, Samphire offers a constantly evolving backdrop and an unrivalled connection to the outdoors.

Built with comfort in mind throughout the seasons, the Ark benefits from climate control, ambient lighting, integrated sound and smart entertainment systems, creating a sophisticated yet highly practical living environment. High-quality finishes and thoughtful detailing elevate the space, delivering a boutique-style experience with a strong emphasis on design and relaxation.

Versatile by design and distinctive by nature, Samphire offers a rare opportunity to acquire an architecturally unique floating residence that combines style, freedom and functionality in equal measure, a modern retreat designed to create a sense of place wherever it calls home.

For purchasers wishing to retain Samphire in its current setting, Thornham Marina is prepared to consider entering into a separate berthing/licence agreement. Any such agreement would be entirely separate from the purchase of the Ark and would be subject to purchaser approval, contract and the marina's prevailing terms, conditions and charges. Permanent residential/liveaboard use is not permitted.”
