Offering versatile living space to accommodate a range of lifestyles, the property also features secluded gardens, ample parking, and a garage.

It seamlessly connects to the open-plan kitchen and dining area, which also benefits from lovely garden views. Additional ground floor features include a study, a cloakroom, and a substantial amount of built-in storage. Upstairs, two front-facing bedrooms offer far-reaching views of the Lymington River. The principal bedroom is notably spacious, complete with its own balcony and a large en-suite shower room. The remaining three double bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom. This is a fantastic opportunity to transform the property into a superb family home.
