Western Road, Lymington, SO41

A charming mid-terrace home forming part of the historic Ava Cottages, built in 1881, set within a sought-after street of Victorian and Edwardian properties. Ideally located just a short walk from Waitrose, Lymington High Street and a range of local amenities. Offering excellent potential to refurbish or extend (subject to planning), this property presents a fantastic opportunity to create a bespoke home.

The property benefits from predominantly double glazed windows (with one exception), while retaining original internal doors and architraves, adding to its character. It features a slate roof and a generous loft space with potential to create a double bedroom and shower room/WC (subject to planning). Most of Ava Cottages have been extended, and this home offers excellent scope to do the same, with architect’s plans available to reconfigure into a three-bedroom, two-bathroom layout. Alternative arrangements are also possible, including creating a new access to the current smallest bedroom to form a spacious bathroom.

Set behind a low brick wall with a paved frontage, an iron gate leads to a recessed front door opening into a long entrance hall. The south facing lounge features a fireplace, while the dining room enjoys views over the rear garden and also benefits from an open fireplace. The kitchen is fitted by John Lewis with integrated appliances, alongside a Worcester Bosch combi boiler (serviced annually), and offers scope for reconfiguration with the adjoining bathroom to create a larger kitchen and cloakroom. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, including two generous doubles connected by a Jack & Jill wardrobe, which could be reworked to create a landing and staircase to the spacious, fully boarded loft. The smallest bedroom has been recently repaired following a past roof leak and presents potential to be converted into a bathroom.

Outside, the property enjoys a long rear garden with a brick wall and fenced boundaries, completing this versatile home with significant scope for improvement.

Western Road is a sought-after road within a short level walk to Waitrose and the top of Lymington High Street. Lymington Georgian Market Town is famous for its bustling High Street with a wide array of boutique shops, cafes, eateries and a market every Saturday. Lymington has an active sailing community and is close to some beautiful local beaches and The New Forest National Park. There is a branch line rail connection to Brockenhurst mainline station (London Waterloo) and the ferry to the Isle of Wight.
