The Breakers, located on Saltgrass Lane in Keyhaven, has been thoughtfully reimagined for modern living while preserving its historical character. Situated on three acres of beautifully maintained grounds, this impressive property is only in its third ownership since its construction in the early 20th century.
The extensive grounds feature a stunning limestone-framed swimming pool, several well-kept lawns, a paddock, and a variety of alfresco dining areas—perfect for enjoying the outdoors. Practical amenities include a boathouse complete with a wine store, a double carport, and a plant room, adding both convenience and charm to the estate.
According to the property listing from UK Sotheby’s International Realty, “The grounds are as considered as the house itself. A limestone-framed swimming pool is the centrepiece, ideal for a sunrise swim or evening dip after a day on the water.”
Inside the main house, the sitting and family rooms face southward, offering beautiful views over the water. The expansive kitchen and living room open onto broad terraces that capture the late afternoon sun, creating inviting spaces to relax and entertain.
The home boasts five bathrooms and includes a thoughtfully reimagined annexe. Linked to the main building yet fully capable of standing alone, the annexe provides guest accommodation with its own principal suite, two additional bedrooms, and an open-plan kitchen and living area.
The Breakers perfectly blends timeless elegance with contemporary comforts, set in a picturesque riverside location that offers both privacy and stunning natural surroundings.
