The property is approached via a wide driveway leading to a covered entrance porch, which opens into a spacious reception hallway with a turning staircase rising to the first floor. From here, access is provided to the main sitting/dining room, an attractive L-shaped space of generous proportions.
A brick fireplace with wood-burning stove forms a charming focal point, while the room enjoys a pleasant outlook over the rear garden and opens into a useful conservatory, providing additional reception space and direct garden access. The conservatory is well sized and offers scope for modernisation.
The ground floor accommodation is further complemented by a utility room and adjoining lobby, both providing convenient external access, as well as a cloakroom.
To the first floor, a good-sized landing leads to all bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a range of fitted wardrobes and a well-appointed en-suite shower room. There are three further generous bedrooms, served by a family bathroom.
A particular feature of the property is the potential for a self-contained annexe, ideal for a dependent relative, guest accommodation, or home office. Located over the garage and accessed via a separate staircase, this area includes a large bed-sitting room, shower room, and its own independent access.
Outside, the property enjoys a brick-paved driveway providing ample off-street parking for two to three vehicles, with additional space suitable for a dinghy or RIB. Double gates offer further access to the rear garden, which is of a good size for a modern development and benefits from a south-easterly aspect. The garden is laid predominantly to artificial lawn for ease of maintenance, enclosed by clearly defined fencing and enhanced by a mature oak tree. In our opinion, this is a particularly generous garden for a property of this type.
The property is ideally positioned within Lymington, within easy reach of the vibrant High Street and the scenic Lymington River, renowned for its marinas, yacht clubs, and sailing facilities.
The surrounding area offers an exceptional lifestyle, with the open spaces of the New Forest National Park close by, providing miles of walking, cycling, and riding across heathland and ancient woodland.
Lymington’s excellent range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, and weekly market, together with strong transport links and access to the Solent, combine to make this a highly desirable coastal and country location.
Note: The potential annexe above the garage currently has a lodger paying £800 p/m.
