Rookes Lane, Lymington, Hampshire, SO41

25 Rookes Lane is a spacious and versatile four/five bedroom chalet bungalow occupying a generous and private corner plot in this highly desirable part of Lymington. The property offers a well-balanced arrangement of accommodation over two floors, while still providing excellent scope for further remodelling or extension, subject to the necessary consents, to create a particularly impressive family home.

One of the property's great attractions is its position opposite Woodside Gardens, from where there is easy access towards the Sea Wall and some of the area's most attractive coastal walks, extending west towards Keyhaven. Lymington town centre is also within walking distance, together with local schooling including Priestlands School.


The property is approached over a gravel driveway providing an extensive parking and turning area, leading to the front entrance porch. This opens into a generous reception hall with wood flooring and staircase rising to the first floor.

The sitting/dining room is a particularly comfortable and inviting space, centred around a brick fireplace with multi-fuel stove. There are clearly defined sitting and dining areas, with access through to a conservatory/garden room where double doors open directly onto the rear garden, creating a strong connection between the house and outside space.

The kitchen is attractively fitted with a comprehensive range of floor-standing and wall-mounted cupboards and drawers, together with a sink unit, integrated dishwasher, induction hob with double oven below and extractor above, and space for a fridge/freezer. There is also space for a breakfast table. A door leads through to the rear lobby/utility area, which provides plumbing for a washing machine, houses the gas-fired boiler and has access directly outside.

The ground floor provides particularly flexible bedroom accommodation. Bedroom one is a generous double room with built-in double wardrobe cupboards and an attractive outlook over the garden. There is a further guest bedroom, together with a study/bedroom three with fitted storage cupboards. These rooms are served by a well-appointed shower room comprising a walk-in shower with mains shower, vanity wash basin and WC.

On the first floor, the landing leads to a further generous guest bedroom with a range of built-in wardrobe cupboards and access to eaves storage. This room is served by an adjoining shower room with shower cubicle, WC, wash basin and heated towel rail. This upper floor could work particularly well as a principal bedroom suite or as a private guest area.

Outside, the property occupies a prominent corner plot with a gravel driveway providing extensive off-road parking and turning for several vehicles. The driveway also leads to a single garage with up-and-over door.

The principal garden lies predominantly to the south-western side of the property and provides an excellent degree of privacy. It is arranged with areas of lawn, established beds and mature planting, all enclosed by fencing and hedging. The garden continues around the side of the house, where there is a large timber garden shed, access to the garage and access to the rear of the property.

Location - Rookes Lane is situated in one of Lymington's most sought-after residential areas, particularly valued for its proximity to both the coast and the town centre. Directly opposite, Woodside Gardens provides an attractive open recreational space and gives convenient access towards the Sea Wall and coastal footpaths, with superb walks taking in views across the Solent and extending towards Keyhaven.

Lymington itself is renowned for its attractive Georgian High Street, independent shops, boutiques, cafés, restaurants and popular Saturday market. The town has a strong maritime heritage and is one of the South Coast's best-known sailing centres, with access to the Lymington River, Town Quay, Yacht Haven, marinas and Royal Lymington Yacht Club.

The New Forest National Park is also within easy reach, offering many miles of open heathland and woodland together with outstanding opportunities for walking, cycling and horse riding.
For commuters and those travelling further afield, Lymington benefits from railway connections via Brockenhurst, with mainline services to London Waterloo. The wider road network also provides access towards Southampton and Bournemouth, both of which have airports offering domestic and international connections.

The combination of coastal walks, sailing facilities, the High Street and easy access to the New Forest makes this a particularly desirable and convenient location.
