Church Lane, Sway, Lymington, Hampshire, SO41

Few properties in the village manage to marry the warmth of 1930s character with the demands of contemporary family life. This property is one of them. A beautifully extended and thoughtfully re-imagined semi-detached home on Church Lane, well-placed for the train station, the open Forest, and the everyday rhythms of village living.

The transformation begins the moment you step inside. The ground floor revolves around a spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, a space that feels as though it has been designed to be the central hub at all times. It benefits from wet underfloor heating throughout.

A bespoke shaker kitchen anchors the room, with a generous central island, timber worktops, copper pendant lighting, and a range cooker beneath an extractor. Twin Velux rooflights flood the space with natural light, and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling glazed gable opens the entire rear wall onto the garden and decking beyond the inside and outside merging with an ease that makes entertaining feel effortless. A log burner at the far end of the room creates an intimate focal point for quieter evenings.

Alongside the kitchen, a well-proportioned utility room provides excellent day-to-day practicality with direct garden access, while a stylish ground floor shower room, finished with tiling and monochrome detail serves the ground floor accommodation.

The original part of the house retains its character with a ground floor reception room offering the flexibility to serve as a fourth bedroom, playroom or home office according to need.

To complete the ground floor an attached store/workshop provides practical storage space.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom boasts a broad bay window to the front aspect.

Bedroom four is currently used as a useful dressing room.

A second double bedroom looks out to the rear with garden views. This completes the first floor alongside a beautifully appointed family bathroom. Finished in metro tiling. The bathroom features a freestanding-style vanity unit in dark shaker cabinetry, an over-bath shower screen, and a heated towel rail.

Outside, the rear garden is a particular asset; a generous, private plot that opens from the decked terrace into a well-kept lawn flanked by established planting and raised beds.

A timber-framed garden studio at the foot of the garden provides a versatile retreat.

To the front, a wide block-paved driveway provides ample off-road parking.

The home's credentials extend beneath the surface too: a new roof, owned solar panels with battery storage give an energy efficiency rarely associated with period properties practical virtues that will resonate long after moving day.
