A truly impressive and remarkably spacious detached Edwardian residence extending to approximately 2,500 square feet. Rich in character with a wealth of original features and generously proportioned, light-filled rooms throughout, the home also enjoys the rare advantage of a double garage and off-road parking in this sought-after area. Ideally positioned within easy reach of highly regarded primary and secondary schools, as well as Waitrose and the High Street. Though requiring updating, the property represents a superb opportunity to create a magnificent family home.
A traditional front door opens into a welcoming hallway where stairs rise to the first floor and a cloakroom with WC can be found. At the front of the house, the family room features a grand bay window and a fireplace. The main living room is particularly generous, complete with a further period fireplace and French doors opening into the dining area/conservatory, which stretches across the rear of the house and includes bi-fold doors leading out to the garden. The adjoining kitchen is fitted with a selection of units.
From the conservatory, a door leads to a hallway, also accessible from the front of the house, which provides excellent storage and access to the cellar below. The first-floor landing boasts a very high ceiling and a hatch to the attic, which benefits from a window providing natural light. All three bedrooms are notably large and full of character, with bedrooms one and three especially distinguished by their expansive bay windows. A family bathroom and separate WC serve the sleeping quarters.
Outside: To the front, a wrought iron gate opens to a paved garden enclosed by matching railings set between brick pillars.
The rear garden is an exceptional feature, generously sized and predominantly paved, with a specimen magnolia tree and an ornamental pond. At the far end stands a brick-built garden room, ideal for entertaining, complete with a pizza oven. Beyond this lies the double garage and parking area, accessed by vehicle via a shared driveway from the road behind.
Lymington offers an extensive range of shops from large household names such as Marks & Spencer and Waitrose to independent boutiques, coffee shops, restaurants, pubs and tea rooms. There are also a variety of hair salons and beauticians to choose from. Saturdays provide a vibrant atmosphere throughout the town as the market attracts many locals and visitors from throughout the forest and beyond. Lymington is the ideal location for those who enjoy water sports with two marinas and sailing clubs holding access to the Solent and a short drive away from beaches.
Being so close to the New Forest it also offers the perfect location for those who enjoy horse riding, walking and cycling. The town offers a nine-hole golf course, rowing club, community centre, library, small cinema, bowls club and tennis club. Lymington Recreation Centre offers an indoor 25m swimming pool and many fitness classes, whilst during the summer months there is an outdoor seawater baths next to the River with a hundred years of heritage. There is also a Cricket Club, Football and Rugby Clubs, Skateboard Park and children's play areas.
