Undershore Road, Lymington, SO41

Where river, coast and countryside meet.

A Warm Welcome

Tucked away at the end of a private, no through road, Windrush is a handsome double-fronted substantial property occupying an elevated position in sought after Walhampton, a short distance from the Hampshire town of Lymington.

Some homes carry a serene feeling the moment you arrive. Windrush is one of them. Surrounded by gardens, this home offers space, light, and views that stretch across towards the river and town beyond. There are balconies to the front – ideal for sun downers and a roof terrace, for morning coffee overlooking open countryside, to the rear.

This is a home ready for its next chapter — waiting for new owners to create a special home - and to make the most of everything this special location has to offer.

This is an exceptional family detached home with over 2,400 sqft of living space, generous, flexible downstairs rooms and four double bedrooms upstairs. Outside there is a double garage and lovely wraparound garden. It is a truly stunning place that has been loved and cherished by the same family for over 20 years.

Where the Forest meets the Sea

Lymington is a Georgian market town with a maritime soul. It’s thriving centre is lined with elegant architecture and, each Saturday, transforms into a bustling Charter Market — a tradition dating back to the 13th century.

Follow the narrow cobbled lanes down to the Old Town Quay and you’ll find yachts, fishing boats, and waterfront cafe s. Seaside fun takes place here – crabbing over the wall, eating a delicious ice cream sitting on a bench watching the boats and ferries go by.

Beyond the marinas, the Solent opens up towards the Isle of Wight – hop on a ferry (a five minute walk from Windrush, and be in Yarmouth on “the island” in 40 minutes. It’s a lovely day out on foot, by bike or with your car.

The New Forest is around a 10 minute drive away, offering endless trails and ancient woodland, this is truly a place to enjoy the outdoors. From Windrush, all of this is on your doorstep.

If living by the sea is your ultimate goal, but you still have to commute, there are trains from Lymington to London Waterloo in under 2 hours. A worthwhile consideration to achieve the best of both worlds.

An Impressive Welcome

A sweeping drive at the end of an exclusive private road comprising large impressive houses, brings you home. There is plenty of parking for family and guests as well as a double garage for cars, bikes, and sailing kit. Perhaps space for a boat alongside and well loved gardens that frame the house with green. Private, prestigious, calm, and open to the views beyond — this is a setting that welcomes you straight away.

The hallway leads to all the downstairs rooms and immediately to the right, there is a handy large wet room – perfect for drying wet suits or sailing gear and showering after a day on the water or at the beach.

An Interior Defined by Light

Step through to the living room and you are immediately embraced in light. It is welcoming and cosy with a woodburning stove at its heart. There is plenty of room for large gatherings with friends, spilling out into the conservatory and garden beyond.

Another reception room off the kitchen, with French doors opening to the terrace, is currently used as another sitting room, but in the past has been a dining room. The terrace is perfect for long summer lunches outside.

To the back, a study is a great working from home space offering focus and stillness when you need quiet, overlooking the garden at the back with French doors to let the light and air in.

However you live, this home adapts with you.

The Heart of the Home

The kitchen breakfast room is a hub of daily life with practical storage and Neff appliances. There is space for a table, encouraging conversations, conviviality and family breakfasts.

From here, the utility/boot room keeps the practicalities tucked away — with its own door to the garden.

A Room with a View

Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes.

The principal suite really is special, and definitely our favourite bedroom. It has an ensuite, dressing area with built in wardrobes and is flooded with light from front to back. It’s a rare privilege to start and end every day with views as spectacular as this.

One way, the balcony provides a peaceful view as the river glistens, boats come and go. The other, a roof terrace is a morning sun trap giving countryside views into the distance. Light, weather, and seasons constantly shift the picture. It’s a view that never loses its magic from dawn till dusk.

The second bedroom is equally well proportioned and has a balcony at the front. This, and two further bedrooms, share the family bathroom which has a rolltop bath and separate walk-in shower. The downstairs wet room provides additional convenience when hosting more guests.

Everything you need for easy mornings, quiet evenings, and a little everyday luxury.

Verdant Haven

Outside, the serene, lovingly tended gardens stretch to a third of an acre with sweeping lawns, mature trees and borders with colourful perennials and shrubs. A pergola with established grapevine completes the picture at the front.
Paved patios and a raised West facing terrace maximise the possibility of sunshine and barbecue evenings with friends. There are hidden corners and shady spots for quiet moments of reflection and gratitude.

A well-screened and large practical shed is handy for storing outdoor furniture, cushions and equipment.
