Buckland Manor Farm, Sway Road, Lymington, Hampshire, SO41

A charming former estate cottage set in a beautifully peaceful location, forming part of the historic Buckland Manor estate. Tucked away along a private road close to the Buckland Rings Iron Age Hill Fort, this delightful detached home enjoys a tranquil setting while being only a short drive from the Georgian market town of Lymington.

The front door opens into the entrance hall where stairs rise to the first floor. To one side is the cosy living room, a welcoming double aspect room featuring a fireplace with a gas wood-effect stove. Across the hall, the kitchen/dining room is fitted with a range of cabinets with space for appliances and offers ample room for a dining table. A charming wood burning stove creates a lovely focal point, while a door from the dining area opens into the garden room, enjoying delightful views over the beautifully maintained garden. Opening off the kitchen is a useful utility room with space for appliances and a door providing access outside.

On the first floor bedroom one is a good size with a bright, triple aspect, and there are two further attractive bedrooms, all served by a modern shower room fitted with a large walk-in shower cubicle.

Outside, the property is approached over a gravel driveway leading to a detached double garage with an electric roller door. Alongside the garage is a large tool and wood store, while on the opposite side of the driveway a further substantial outbuilding 19'8 x 15'9 provides excellent additional dry storage.

The garden is undoubtedly a standout feature of the property. Beautifully maintained and offering a high degree of privacy, it is laid mainly to lawn with well-stocked flower and shrub borders, a fish pond and a large garden shed 9'10 x 11' 6 concealed at the far end. From here there is also access through to the outbuildings at the front of the property, making excellent use of the available space.

Lymington is a thriving Georgian market town perfectly positioned between the New Forest National Park and the Solent coastline.

The town also provides an excellent choice of salons, beauticians, and everyday amenities.

The popular Saturday market brings a lively atmosphere to the town each week, attracting both locals and visitors. For those who enjoy life on the water, Lymington is a sailing hotspot, with two marinas and yacht clubs offering direct access to the Solent. Nearby beaches and scenic coastal walks add to its outdoor appeal.

On land, the surrounding New Forest offers endless opportunities for walking, cycling, and horse riding. Local sports and leisure facilities include a golf course, tennis and bowls clubs, cricket and rugby grounds, a football club, skate park, and play areas. The Recreation Centre features a 25m indoor pool and fitness classes, while the historic open-air seawater baths offer summer fun beside the river.

Lymington also has a community centre, small cinema, library, and a range of infant, junior, and secondary schools all within walking distance of the town centre.

It’s this combination of location, amenities and lifestyle that makes Lymington one of the South Coast’s most sought-after places to live.
