Pitmore Lane, Sway, Lymington, Hampshire, SO41

Properties of this breadth and ambition do not come to market often and rarely in a position quite like this. Set directly opposite open forest on the edge of Sway village, Havana occupies a plot of circa 0.4 acres that offers something genuinely difficult to manufacture: space, privacy, and an uninterrupted view of ancient woodland from your front door. In total, the property extends to over 4,200 sq ft of accommodation, but statistics alone do not do justice to what has been achieved here. The principal house has been comprehensively extended and finished to an exacting contemporary standard. Beyond it sits self-contained guest accommodation, a detached double garage with substantial room above, and a detached barn offering further potential subject to planning. This is a property that grows the more you explore it.


The approach sets the tone immediately. Electric gates open onto a sweeping driveway, the traditional brickwork façade and characterful pitched roofline coming into view ahead. It is an elegant arrival with brick paviour driveways sweeping around the left with further gravel driveway providing a huge abundance of off road parking. This leads into a fantastic entrance hallway which provides access to principal living/dining areas and stairs leading to first floor landing,

Kitchen, Dining & Family Room
This is where Havana announces itself. Extending to over 30 feet and spanning nearly the full width of the property, the principal open-plan living space is a room of real scale and quality. Bespoke cabinetry, premium integrated appliances and an oversized central island define the kitchen end, while the dining and family areas benefit from the expansive Crittall-style sliding doors that open the whole space directly to the south-facing courtyard terrace. The ground floor is heated throughout by zoned underfloor heating, and plantation shutters throughout the main house add a considered finishing note. This is a room designed for both effortless entertaining and the texture of daily family life.

Formal Dining Room
A separate formal dining room provides an elegant setting for entertaining, its front-facing aspect affording direct views over open forest.

Study
A dedicated home working space, properly considered with front facing views over open forest.

Ground Floor Bedroom & En-Suite
A well-proportioned bedroom on the ground floor with the significant advantage of direct forest-fronting views with dual aspects which let the natural light pour through, a room that functions equally well as a principal bedroom for single-level living as it does for accommodating guests.

Utility Room & Cloakroom
Practical and properly appointed, completing the ground floor in good order.

First Floor - Principal Suite
The principal suite incorporates a dedicated dressing area and an en-suite bathroom finished to a luxurious standard. Mira digital smart shower, refined detailing throughout, and the kind of specification that runs throughout the home. A window overlooks the open forest to the front with a side window giving dual aspects. The bedroom is of fantastic proportions with the en suite and dressing room matching it.

Bedrooms Three & Four: Two further well-proportioned double bedrooms, each served by a family bathroom of equally high specification. Every bathroom in the house has been curated with contemporary fittings, bespoke vanity units and statement tiling.

Further Accommodation/Self-Contained Guest Accommodation:
Privately arranged with its own living space and kitchen, the one-bedroom guest annexe offers flexibility that most four-bedroom houses simply cannot match whether for extended family, long-stay guests, or the possibility of a rental income.

Detached Double Garage with Room Above & Ancillary Space
Substantial in scale, with a room above and additional space to the rear lending itself to a home office, media room, gym or studio. The kind of ancillary space that, once you have it, becomes impossible to imagine living without.

Detached Barn
A building of genuine scope and presence, offering the prospect of further development or alternative use subject to the necessary planning consents. Rarely does a residential property of this nature come with a detached barn of this size.

Gardens & Grounds
The gardens have been professionally landscaped with an emphasis on structure, privacy and year-round appeal. A substantial south-facing terrace extends directly from the principal living area and is a exceptional outdoor entertaining or alfresco dining space. The garden boasts a covered outdoor kitchen area and a glazed garden room provides a tranquil, all-seasons retreat from which to enjoy the wider plot. A further level lawn sits to one side. The whole extends to circa 0.4 acres, with direct access to the open forest beyond the front boundary.
