About the property
Nestled in the picturesque village of Hamble-le-Rice, Skippers Retreat is a sleek and contemporary escape boasting an ‘upside-down' layout and breathtaking views of the River Hamble and its vibrant marina. Unwind in the outdoor hot tub, soak up the stylish comfort of the open-plan living space, or relax on the expansive balcony as the sun sets over the water. With the village's charming streets and an array of restaurants, bars, and cafés just a short stroll away, this retreat offers the perfect balance of luxury, tranquillity and convenience.
The space
As you arrive, the home's distinctive Mediterranean charm immediately captivates you, while the beautifully maintained garden guides you to the spacious patio, where a private hot tub awaits, perfectly positioned to offer panoramic views of the tranquil river Hamble.
Step inside to discover a bright and airy open plan living space, where tasteful décor and abundant natural light set the stage for relaxation. The living area, designed for both comfort and entertainment, features a large flat-screen TV and a selection of board games, ensuring fun for all ages.
The modern, fully equipped kitchen is a dream for culinary enthusiasts, boasting high-end appliances, generous counter space and sleek finishes. Just beyond, the dining area provides a stylish and inviting setting, complete with a spacious table that comfortably accommodates all guests.
The home features four elegantly furnished en-suite bedrooms, two of which are designed with king-size beds, one of which can be made into two single beds, making them ideal for families or groups.
