Tarks Reach home on Beaulieu River goes up for sale with £4.5m guide price by Savills
A FOUR-BEDROOM single-storey home set on the banks of Beaulieu River which comes with its own pontoon has gone on sale with a guide price of £4.5m.
Tarks Reach, which is set within approximately 3.49 acres, was built in 1962 by the then owner to an exacting standard and boasts views over its gardens and the river itself.
It is approached over a meandering long private driveway through woodland which opens out onto lawned gardens and a sweeping drive across the front of the property.
The grounds are a mixture of woodland and formal garden and lead down to the substantial river frontage extending to approximately 460ft. There is a slipway and access to a shared jetty from which Tarks Reach benefits from a private pontoon.
Accommodation in the main house extends to a generous 2,707sq ft and all of its principal rooms face towards the river with large picture windows, while the large drawing room has doors opening to the south facing terrace, features an open fireplace and opens through to the dining room.
The principal bedroom suite also enjoys views over the river, has a large bathroom and door that gives access to bedroom four, which seconds as a dressing room.
There are two further bedrooms, a guest suite with bathroom at the western end of the house and a further double bedroom with adjoining bathroom. A family bathroom completes the main house.
Steven Moore, head of residential sales at Savills Winchester, said: "The Beaulieu River is the only privately owned navigable river in the world and so to have a property like this, in a stunning position on its banks, and with frontage and moorings, is extremely rare indeed.
"It is also nearby to Buckler’s Hard yacht harbour and the Royal Southampton Yacht Club, providing access to the Solent and the famous sailing that is on offer there.
"We are expecting this sale to capture the imagination of many interested buyers and, as such, we anticipate a very high level of interest."
