May Avenue, Lymington, SO41

Welcome to May Avenue by Marco Harris! 

Tucked away within one of Lymington’s increasingly sought-after residential roads, this is a truly unique opportunity to secure a substantial plot in a prime coastal market town setting. Positioned on a quiet no-through road and just a short walk from the vibrant High Street, this modest bungalow conceals an exceptional secret—a remarkable rear garden approaching half an acre.

Offering enormous scope for extension, redevelopment and bespoke design (subject to planning), this is a property that invites vision and creativity. With its peaceful setting, generous grounds and proximity to both the New Forest and the Solent, this is a rare chance to create something truly special.

May Avenue- A Rare Opportunity in the Heart of Lymington

The Property

From the front, the property presents as an unassuming bungalow, yet beyond the façade lies a home filled with potential. The current accommodation is well arranged, offering two bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite, alongside a separate shower room serving the rest of the home.

To the rear, the property opens out beautifully, with a living room flowing into both a conservatory and a sunroom. These spaces are flooded with natural light and provide uninterrupted views across the extensive garden, immediately showcasing the scale and opportunity on offer.

The kitchen is positioned to the side and is complemented by a practical utility area, which in turn provides access to the side and rear of the property- ideal for day-to-day living and future reconfiguration.

While perfectly functional in its current form, the true value of this home lies in its potential. The size of the plot allows for significant extension or complete redevelopment (subject to the necessary planning permissions), enabling a purchaser to design a substantial family home tailored entirely to their needs.

The Grounds

The plot extends to over half an acre, a feature that is exceptionally rare for a property so close to Lymington town centre. The front of the property offers driveway parking and access to a single garage, providing practical convenience.

To the rear, the garden unfolds into an expansive and versatile space, currently divided into two distinct areas. One section is laid to lawn, while the other remains more natural and overgrown, presenting a blank canvas for landscaping and design.

Within the grounds sits a detached double garage, offering further exciting potential. Subject to planning, this could be transformed into an annexe, home office, gym or additional accommodation, adding both flexibility and long-term value.

With thoughtful vision, the grounds could be reimagined into a stunning private retreat, blending formal gardens with natural surroundings to create a truly exceptional outdoor space.
