GROUNDS & GARDENS

The house is approached over a long tarmac drive which winds through beautifully planted and landscaped gardens and leads to large turning and parking areas adjacent to the house and garaging. The main area of garden lies to the south of the house and is laid to lawn; sloping gently down to the waters edge from which dinghys and paddle boards can be launched. To the side of the house is a hard tennis court, next to which is a useful recreation / games room which has been built to a high standard and features a ground floor shower room and an internal staircase that rises to a fully plastered and decorated studio room and bathroom. 

Adjoining the recreation room on the ground floor is a workshop / mower shed as well as a triple garage with electrically operated up and over doors. Along the northern edge of the property are well planted gardens which provide peaceful walks and there is also a secluded area ideal as a base for garden maintenance.

SITUATION

The property occupies a position that is unrivalled in terms of water views, privacy and proximity to Lymington. The property is positioned down a long private drive just off a quiet lane in an extremely peaceful yet convenient location. The house is set centrally in its grounds and has been designed to allow all principle rooms exceptional unspoilt views across its own land to the Lymington River, The Solent and the Isle of Wight. Lisle Court Road is a little used road that serves the few houses and farms and therefore provides an extremely peaceful and private setting yet is only a mile and a half from Lymington with its bustling High Street and shops.

Lymington has a long-established reputation as one of the South Coasts centres for sailing with superb access to the Solent via its yacht clubs and marinas. The property is surrounded by the New Forest National Park and, as a result, is remarkably unspoilt. The Forest offers endless walks, cycle trails and out riding as well as beautiful open countryside.

Nearby Brockenhurst (5 miles) offers direct rail services to London Waterloo in approximately 1h 50m.

THE PROPERTY

The house was built in 2015 and designed to maximise space, light and views and to take full advantage of this most exceptional situation.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors and extends to approximately 6,200 square feet with all main rooms facing south and the glorious views of the river and sea beyond. 

On the ground floor is an impressive entrance hall with a sweeping oak staircase leading to the first floor with a lantern light above cascading light into the house. Directly ahead, one’s eye is immediately drawn to views of the garden and water through the large windows and sliding doors of the kitchen family room which has been beautifully fitted with high and low level cabinets, a central island and integrated appliances. The kitchen / family room has been designed as a sociable space ideal for daily use with direct access on to the south facing terrace as well as double doors opening to the drawing room. This flexibility makes the space ideal for socialising yet remains flexible enough to allow separation into distinct rooms if required. The drawing room, like all other rooms, enjoys a wealth of light, high ceilings and also has sliding doors to the garden. There is also a very generous adjoining study which also has its own door back to the hall. Also on the ground floor is a dining room, laundry room and utility room as well as a wc. 

There is a rear hall, accessed through a door from the main hall that leads to a further reception room that would make an ideal snug or play room. Down the rear hall is also a wet room, back door and staircase to the first floor where there is a double bedroom and en suite bathroom. This entire area, shaded blue on the floorplan, can easily be used as part of the house but could also be separated off by closing two doors to provide self-contained accommodation for extended family or staff. 

From the main entrance hall, the staircase rises to a large galleried landing providing access to the principle bedrooms. The master bedroom has a dual aspect, bay window and separate Juliet balcony with beautiful far reaching views across the waters. The main bedroom has its own dressing room and an en suite bathroom with both bath and separate shower. There are four further double bedrooms on this floor, three of which have en suite bathrooms. There is also a first floor sitting room with fire place, vaulted ceiling and glorious river views. There is also a family bathroom and ample storage space as well as a staircase leading to the second floor where there is a further double bedroom with walk in wardrobe, en suite bathroom and panoramic views.
