The Bridge House
Salterns Lane, Bursledon, Hampshire
Film by Luxury Cottages
Independent reading
A Peter Huf-designed glass house bridging two islands: five bedrooms, a one-acre lake, eight private woodland acres and a slipway to the River Hamble.
The house exceeds the Pavello benchmark for architectural singularity, privacy and waterside lifestyle. The £1,201/sq ft measured density carries a large premium to Salterns Lane; prove the lake structure, water and access liabilities, planning completion and the difference between the 3,540 sq ft portal area and the marketing claim of approximately 4,000 sq ft before valuing that premium.
