The Slipway, a newly completed residence at Waterside in Mudeford, Christchurch, represents a singular fusion of contemporary architecture and maritime living. The home commands uninterrupted views across the harbour, with panoramic sightlines extending towards The Needles, and offers something increasingly rare: direct, private access to the water through a dedicated slipway, jetty and pontoon.
Across more than 6,500 square feet, the house has been conceived around this relationship with the water. Five en suite bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, whilst the principal living spaces unfold with floor to ceiling glazing that dissolves the boundary between interior and the harbour landscape beyond. A continuous ribbon of glass frames moored boats and open water, rendering the view integral to the daily rhythm of the house. The interiors speak a language of refined minimalism: soft stone and cream tones, linear ceiling details in matte black, and a restrained material palette that allows the water and light to dominate.
The design extends the inhabitable space outward. A broad terrace steps down to landscaped gardens, with built in seating areas and fire features that invite year round entertaining. A separate wellness pavilion compounds the sense of retreat, whilst the seamless indoor outdoor arrangement reflects contemporary expectations of how a house of this calibre should perform.
The property is marketed through Knight Frank. Full details are available through their listing reference LYM012552103.
