Boldre Lane, Boldre, Lymington, Hampshire, SO41

Located in the highly sought-after village of Boldre and believed to date in part to the early 18th century (circa 1720), this beautifully enlarged and refurbished detached cottage combines period charm with modern efficiency. Unusually for a property of its age, it offers excellent headroom throughout. Constructed of colour-washed rendered cob and brick elevations beneath a pitched slate roof with attractive dormers, the cottage also benefits from updated double glazing (installed approximately five years ago), a ground source heat pump, and solar panels, complementing the mains gas supply.

Approached via a block-paved driveway from Boldre Lane, the property occupies an elevated position within a stunning, well-established plantsman’s garden, thoughtfully designed to provide year-round colour with minimal maintenance. It is ideally situated for easy access to the amenities of Lymington and the forest village of Brockenhurst.

The accommodation is both characterful and versatile. A superb triple-aspect sitting room features an impressive inglenook-style fireplace with wood-burning stove, exposed beams, and doors opening onto a paved terrace. There is also an elegant dining room with stained glass detail leading to a garden room, a cloakroom, and a farmhouse-style kitchen fitted with shaker cabinetry, integrated appliances and an Aga. A separate utility room with Belfast sink provides access to a first-floor study or potential fifth bedroom.

Upstairs, there are four bedrooms (two doubles and two singles) and two bath/shower rooms. The principal bedroom enjoys dual aspects, garden views, fitted wardrobes, and an en-suite, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a Jack and Jill bathroom.

Outside, there is a double garage with workshop and storage above, outbuildings, a log store, and delightful mature gardens predominantly to the front of the property.

Offered for sale with no onward chain.
