This striking harbourfront home pairs contemporary design with a separate cottage, private water access and exceptional views
Few homes in Dorset make such a compelling case for waterside living as Spinnaker House. Set on the edge of Christchurch Harbour with direct water access and far-reaching views across Stanpit Marsh, Mudeford Quay and towards Hengistbury Head, it occupies one of the most coveted positions on this stretch of coast.
What sets it apart is its unusual layout. A contemporary three-bedroom house sits behind a charming two-bedroom cottage, offering flexibility for multi-generational living, visiting family or a potential holiday-let opportunity. The main home has been cleverly designed in an upside-down style, placing the principal living spaces on the first floor where they can make the most of the ever-changing harbour views.
Large expanses of glass, bi-fold doors and generous terraces create a strong connection with the outdoors, while the south-facing gardens draw the eye down to the water’s edge. A summer house provides the perfect spot to watch boats drift across the harbour and wildlife move through the neighbouring nature reserve.
Despite its peaceful setting, Mudeford Quay, beaches, waterside restaurants and Christchurch town centre are all within easy reach. Combining a standout location with a versatile layout and exceptional outlook, Spinnaker House is the sort of property that rarely comes to market..
