An extensive modernist house designed by a renowned architect sitting in extensive gardens totalling 0.75 acres in a secluded position off one of Lymington's leafy lanes. Highly convenient for both the High Street and coastal walks, the property offers significant potential for further improvement or multiple dwellings, subject to the appropriate permissions. EPR - F The house is situated in a highly sought-after country lane that terminates on the coastline and south-west of the extensive facilities of Lymington. The town is renowned for its picturesque High Street and Saturday Charter Market, with the Lymington River providing a safe haven for sailors with its marinas and popular Town Quay. Lower Pennington Lane is the setting for a handful of the more individual properties, with the lane itself terminating on the foreshore with the coastal path that fronts Christchurch Bay. The coastal path linking to the hamlet of Keyhaven in the west with Lymington, being a haven for much wildlife. This truly remarkable home was designed by the renowned architect Hilary Duke-Woolley and is a quintessential example of modernist architecture offering spacious rooms, large windows and vaulted ceilings. Currently offering single storey living surrounded by three quarters of an acre of level gardens. The current accommodation extends to over 2,400 square feet with a separate garage building with internal staircase to a first floor room complete with ground floor wc.  From the hall, doors open to a dining room with built in storage cupboards leading to the kitchen / breakfast room with fitted units and breakfast bar as well as space for a kitchen table. Beyond the kitchen is a rear hall, a store room and utililty room. The dining room opens on to an expansive sitting room with vaulted ceiling, wood burning stove and door to the garden room which provides panoramic views of the impressive grounds surrounding the house. Accessed via a separate corridor are the five bedrooms, four of which are good doubles with a fifth single bedroom. There is a bathroom, a shower room as well as a separate w.c. A particular attraction of the property is the potential it offers to create an expansive family home, in a particularly generous plot in this sought after location. The property is not in the New Forest National Park and is not in a conservation area or SSSI. One could either remodel the current accommodation or embark on a more ambitious project to create an exceptional new home. Given the size of the plot, there is also the possibility that planning permission could be granted for more than one property. Initial planning enquiries in this regard have been positive but it would remain the responsibility of the purchaser to obtain the necessary planning permissions.  The house is accessed off a quiet, no through lane from which a sweeping private drive leads through the garden to a large turning and parking area adjacent to the house and garage. The formal gardens behind the house face south, are level and mostly laid to lawn with mature planting and shrubs at the borders.  Services Tenure: Freehold Council Tax: G EPC: F Current: 26 Potential: 66 Property Construction: Brick elevations with a bituminous felt roof.
