5 bedroom detached house

A substantial period property with impressive accommodation dating back to 1840 set within generous grounds forming part of the former Everton Grange Estate. This beautiful five bedroom period property has been lovingly refurbished to exacting standards by the current owner to provide a welcoming, vibrant and spacious home with magical grounds and the benefit of annexe accommodation and a large outbuilding complex in the grounds of the garden. The property is in a private setting along a ‘no through’ on the outskirts of Everton Village having easy access to the excellent village shop and pub nearby.

Everton Grange is a collection of exclusive homes set in the grounds of the original estate. Despite its secluded setting, Archway House is within easy reach of local amenities being conveniently situated approximately one and a half miles east of the popular coastal village of Milford on Sea and within two miles of the famous georgian market town of Lymington both offering a range of shops, superb restaurants, a selection of boutiques and the Lymington Saturday market. For boating enthusiasts there are two marinas with both permanent and visitor moorings in Lymington and a sailing and dinghy club in nearby Keyhaven. The mainline railway station, serving London Waterloo in 1 hour 30 minutes, is 6 miles away in Brockenhurst and the railway station in Lymington has a branch service to Brockenhurst.

On entering the property there is an baronial style reception hall with timber panelled walls and polished stone flooring. A balustrade staircase leads from the hallway to the first floor and there are further doors leading to the kitchen, sitting room and dining room. The sitting room has a feature picture window to the rear which is complemented by full drop doors which also open to the rear garden. A focal point of this room is the large corner fireplace which has an exposed brick and stone hearth. The kitchen breakfast room is comprehensively fitted with bespoke units and provides generous work surface areas and space for a dining table.
The dining room is an impressive room with a double height vaulted ceiling and exposed beams and a window overlooking the garden. A door leads from the dining room to a further reception room/bedroom which has doors opening to the garden and a first floor mezzanine area. This area could prove ideal as guest accommodation as the ground floor has a full size bathroom accessed from the hallway.

To the first floor of the main house there are three futher bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master and second bedroom echo the general feel of the property with large vaulted ceilings with exposed timber work. The master bedroom has a Juliet balcony overlooking the rear garden and a full sized en-suite with a freestanding claw foot bath.

Accessed separately from the main house is a further area which could have strong potential for buyers wishing to work from home or perhaps annexe a relative (please note all suggestions of annexe accommodation are subject to relevant approvals and regulations). The area affords a generous ground floor room with a stair case rising to the second floor which has been in use as a hobbies and games room.

To the front of the property there is off street parking for several cars and gated access leads to the rear of the house. A winding driveway extends to the garage complex which has been used for the storage of classic cars. This area could be ideal for boat storage of perhaps conversion to a leisure complex with pool or gymnasium. Well stocked gardens surround the driveway and lead to the large walled garden which has a high degree of privacy.

We feel the setting and character of this house are quite unique and envisage the property appealing to purchasers wanting a sense of space and privacy whilst enjoying accommodation which lends itself to a variety of uses, whether it be working from home, housing a relative or perhaps indulging a passion or hobby.

From our office in the High Street proceed out of Lymington on the main A337 signposted Christchurch. After approximately 2 miles and upon reaching the village sign for Everton take the first turning left into Everton Grange. The lane turns almost immediately right and Archway House can be found a short distance along on the left hand side.
