Court Close, Lymington, SO41

Exclusively for the over 55's, this pretty retirement cottage has two bedrooms and a private patio area which overlooks the beautiful communal grounds of Court Lodge. The property has allocated parking, and offers independent living in a delightful environment being within close proximity of Lymington town centre as well as the shops at Fox Pond.

Court Close is one of the most sought after locations to the south of the High Street and within minutes of the marinas and sailing clubs of the Georgian market town of Lymington. This cosmopolitan town also offers diverse shopping facilities, a picturesque harbour and is surrounded by the outstanding natural beauty of the New Forest National Park. To the north is the New Forest village of Lyndhurst and Junction 1 of the M27 which links to the M3 for access to London. There is a branch line train link to Brockenhurst Railway Station (approximately 5.5 miles) which provides a half hourly service to London Waterloo with a journey time of approximately 90 minutes.

The front door opens into the entrance hall where there are useful storage cupboards and an airing cupboard. To the left, a door leads through to the bathroom which comprises a shower, wash basin and WC. Along the hall, a door leads through to the large sitting room which enjoys a feature gas fireplace as well as sliding doors which give access to the patio and communal gardens. Leading off from the sitting room is the kitchen which is fitted with a good range of floor and wall mounted units incorporating space for a cooker with extractor above, built-in fridge and freezer and space/plumbing for a washing machine. The wall-mounted gas-fired boiler provides domestic hot water and central heating. The bathrooms and kitchen have been completely renewed. The ground floor bedroom, historically used as a dining room, is a good-sized double room enjoying a range of fitted cupboards and a pleasant view across the communal gardens. From the hall, the staircase leads up to the landing which gives access to the first floor bedroom. This large room has a fitted wardrobe, under eaves storage and an en suite bathroom which comprises a shower, wash basin and WC.

The property shares the access with Court Lodge and is separate to the main home. The cottage itself has a professionally landscaped patio area with electric awning and convenient potting shed, overlooking the lovely south facing communal gardens. It also benefits from an allocated parking space. Court Cottages offer independent living, yet are also part of the community that the main home enjoys, including social gatherings such as summer garden parties.
