5 bedroom detached house for sale

Tenure: Freehold

A unique opportunity to acquire a substantial waterfront property. Normandy Cottage, we believe, is the only property in Lymington to have direct access to the Solent. The property enjoys panoramic views to the Isle of Wight. Planning permission exists to extend the current property to about 3300 sq.ft. Within the grounds there are several outbuildings and a separate Bothy, which has a Certificate of Lawful Use.




The property is located in the sought after area south of Lymington High Street, on a quiet country lane. The beautiful Georgian market town of Lymington, with its cosmopolitan shopping and picturesque harbour, is within easy reach. Also within walking distance are the two large deep water marinas and sailing clubs for which the town has gained its status as a world renowned sailing resort. Lymington has a number of independent shops including some designer boutiques 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 also a branch line train link to Brockenhurst Railway Station which gives direct access to London Waterloo in approximately 90 minutes.
