2 bedroom house

A perfect "pied a terre". This quintessential two bedroom country cottage is positioned on a sought after quiet leafy lane leading down to Keyhaven where there are stunning walks along the coastal path and extensive watersports opportunities. Also within walking distance is the popular coastal village of Milford on Sea with a range of amenities, extensive restaurants and boutique shops. The Grade II listed cottage has been rethatched in recent years and is being refurbished to include a new bathroom and kitchen. With approximately 1/4 acre south facing plot, ample parking and lovely views from the area of raised garden across the adjacent farmland, we highly recommend early viewing. Energy Performance Certificate - Not applicable as the property is Grade II* Listed.

Lymore Valley is an unspoilt backwater where property rarely becomes available. Bypassed by the far busier Lymington Road that carries most traffic between Lymington and Milford, this hedge and tree lined lane is sparsely populated yet conveniently positioned for the beaches and restaurants of Milford and Lymington's Georgian High Street that caters for most daily requirements.

But it is the local lifestyle that captures the heart. Swimming and paddle boarding at Milford followed by a pub lunch and bike ride across the New Forest National Park are daily activities here. For the more adventurous, excellent sailing facilities are to be found at Lymington. When the wider world can be ignored no longer, direct trains to Waterloo leave Brockenhurst station (7 miles) every half hour and take just under 2 hours.

Positioned in the highly sought after Lymore Valley, the un spoilt countryside between Lymington and Milford on Sea, this idyllic "bijou" country cottage offers traditional charm that marries effortlessly with modern convenience inspiring a peaceful and relaxing home that is both conveniently positioned for facilities yet only a stone's throw from woodland and coastal walks. 

The current owner is refurbishing the cottage and has completed a stunning modern bathroom and the new kitchen arrives in June to be fitted. The two bedrooms upstairs are beautifully finished in white with fitted cupboards and deep windowsills. The main living room has ceiling beams, a good head room and a fireplace with painted mantle. The original centrally positioned front door has a pretty porch with secondary door and when open, the view is of the long south facing garden. The kitchen has been designed to maximize storage and will have a butler style cerarmic sink and a breakfast bar. There is a large rear entrance hall, used as the practical main entrance with glazed stable door and room for coat hanging leading to a generous utility room with butler sink, storage cupboards, space and plumbing for washing machine. A door leads into the stunning new bathroom with a shower above the bath, retro high flush toilet, heated towel rail and hand basin.

There is ample parking to the front of the cottage and behind five bar gates as well as a secure timber shed. A pathway leads to the side of the cottage and where the generous south facing garden opens to provide a wonderful private escape for al fresco dining and from where to enjoy views over the adjacent fields from an area of raised natural garden. There is further scope to improve areas of the garden and the current owner has drawings of ideas he had hoped to complete before taking a new job in East Anglia, hence the sale.
