For anyone looking for a coastal getaway with a group of friends or family, we'd suggest casting your eyes on this stunning waterfront house. Inside, you'll find an impeccable space that's been curated with designer-made furnishings and high-spec amenities to deliver an exceptional stay that has all the comfort and convenience you need for a truly relaxing break. From the moment you step through the door, you’ll be greeted with a decor that reflects your hosts' interests in competitive sailing, yacht design and modern art. In fact, most of the art is by renowned Brazilian artist Romero Britto – he even designed the logo for your host's sailing team. Through to the open kitchen-diner and you'll find plenty of space for up to twelve people around the handmade Jean Prouvé replica boardroom table with its stunning Wegner wishbone designed chairs replete with leather seats. On sunny mornings, enjoy direct access to the outdoors and sit out on the balcony with a cup of coffee and soak up elevated waterfront views. Or, make yourself comfortable at the kitchen’s breakfast bar – with its alloy seats crafted from designs for New York's Hudson Hotel by Philippe Starck – while enjoying a cup... of tea (courtesy of the boiling water tap). Upstairs, you'll find the sitting room a lovely space to relax, with large floor-to-ceiling windows that allow you to watch the activity out on the river. Alternatively, select from hundreds of books lining thirty metres of shelving and take a seat in the Eames armchair, or fire up the sixty-five-inch TV and surround sound for an immersive movie experience. The four bedrooms are soothing and dazzle with carefully designed features – from the master bedroom’s Philippe Starck ghost chair, Royal Auping bed and Moël chair designed by Inga Sempé to the third bedroom’s view of the Hamble Harbourmaster’s office and eye-catching artworks throughout. Each is equipped with its own en-suite, while the fourth, a children's room, has a bathroom next door. All are furnished with high thread count cotton sheets and a selection of pillows to allow for total flexibility and comfort. The crowning glory is the rooftop terrace, which provides breathtaking Hamble views, all-day sunshine and a Weber gas barbecue for alfresco feasts. While you could spend all day and night enjoying your beautiful home, venture outside and you’ll find a stunning array of nature and activities to enjoy. The home is directly opposite the pedestrian ferry that will take you across the river to Warsash, while Hamble High Street – with its great selection of restaurants, pubs and a fantastic deli – is a two-minute walk away. You’re also perfectly positioned between two sailing clubs – the Royal Southern Yacht Club and the Hamble River Sailing Club – offering exceptional sailing programmes and events year round.
