5 bedroom house

An exquisite beach front escape.

Location

Pitts Deep Cottage Is located at the end of a private lane in a sublime position adjacent to the beach with fine views across
the Solent to the Isle of Wight and the Needles. One of two
properties at the end of this private estate lane, Pitts Deep
Cottage has a truly tranquil location with views over an ever
changing seascape. The New Forest stretches for miles and is
unmatched for trekking and biking. There are walks from the
beach house which take you there, or to the East End Arms,
the local pub which serves excellent drinks and delicious food.
The nearest town, Lymington, is some 4 miles away, a
charming Georgian market town with a comprehensive range
of shops and restaurants along with its large marina and the
Wightlink ferry to Yarmouth, Isle of Wight.

Buckler’s Hard Marina is 4.8 miles away and there is also
the Royal Southampton Yacht Club and Gins Clubhouse in
addition to these and also nearby on the Beaulieu River is
the Beaulieu River Yacht Club. The Beaulieu River is one of
the world’s few privately owned rivers being owned by the
Montagu family. Custodianship of the river by one family over
four centuries has resulted in it being largely unspoilt in terms
of landscape and wildlife. The nearby village of Beaulieu also
principally owned by the Montagu’s has a range of specialist
shops, cafes, a garden centre, hotel and restaurant not to
mention the famous Beaulieu Motor Museum.

Direct rail services to London can be found at Brockenhurst
(8.3 miles) from 95 minutes and Southampton airport which
takes private aircraft is 22.5 miles away.

Description

Pitts Deep cottage is a charming beachfront house situated at
the end of a private estate lane shared with one other property and the estate itself, providing an exquisite location with 215 ft of frontage to the beach and a private slipway. The approach is incredibly beautiful with the lane winding through ancient woodland as it approaches the water and the wild and varied beach. Sand, pebbles, mud flats and salt marsh framed by ancient oaks make an unbeatable tapestry, where the New
Forest meets The Solent.

This period property is built of brick and stone with a clay tiled
roof, believed to have been an Inn in the 18th century to serve both the Pitts Deep channel and the nearby clay pits.
It now affords comfortable five bedroom accommodation,
well presented and arranged over two floors, with a wealth
of period and character features and formally having had the
benefit of planning permission to further extend and improve
(permission lapsed April 2021) subject to conditions and
consent from the neighbouring estate. In addition to the accommodation in the main house there is a large double garage with adjoining workshop, store and WC, providing further flexibility and planning potential (subject to
the necessary permissions and consents).

The grounds extend in all to approximately 0.51 acres, an area
of lawned gardens immediately adjacent to the house lead
to a timber deck, an entertaining area almost on the beach
itself, a wonderful place to appreciate the ever changing views
across the water and beach towards the Needles and Hurst
Castle to the west and Cowes to the east. A private slipway
divides the waterfront to the gardens beyond featuring mature
trees, sea plants and grasses. There is a further area of garden beyond the garaging, slightly sheltered and perfect as a kitchen garden, this area of garden features open sided storage structures, useful additional storage for boats, kayaks etc.
