Middle Common Road, Pennington, Lymington, SO41

A superbly positioned red brick four-bedroom, two bathroom detached character home, set on a generous plot with a high degree of privacy. The property is located in a quiet back water, moments from open countryside and the open space of Pennington Common. The situation of this house should be of great appeal to buyers who are looking for a tranquil, retreat style setting whilst still having the amenities of Lymington and surrounding areas close at hand.

The Situation

The property is located within the National Park between two commons on a rural lane near the village of Pennington. The famous Georgian market town of Lymington with its river, marinas and yacht clubs is less than two miles away. The town offers an excellent range of schooling, both state and private, catering for all ages. There is a useful branch line connection which links with the neighbouring village of Brockenhurst (situated approximately 5.5 miles to the north) that in turn provides a half hourly service to London Waterloo, with a journey time of approximately 90 minutes.

The Property

With a private approach from a gravel track and accessed through a five bar gate, the property has a lovely tranquil setting. The entrance porch provides a welcoming area and leads into the hallway where the stairs lead to the first floor and a door leads to the ground floor snug with fireplace. At the end of the hallway the house opens to a generous and well planned living area. By clever design, all rooms are open and link, providing complete flexibility for family life. The modern kitchen includes a range of oak fronted storage units and a larder cupboard with ample worksurface space and appliances include a double range cooker, dishwasher and hidden bin store. There is room for a large fridge freezer. The room opens to both the conservatory, enjoying views over the garden, as well as the generous dining room. There is access to the garden through double doors at one end of the dining room and further double doors lead into the separate sitting room, where there is a fireplace and front aspect window. A door from the dining room leads to a hallway, cloakroom, and access to a laundry room and to the garage, currently used as a gym.

The first floor accommodation comprises four bedrooms including the principal bedroom which is vaulted with two velux ceiling units and rear aspect window. There is an ensuite shower room and ample room for wardrobes. The two double rooms to the front of the house both have the original ornate fireplaces. The remaining double bedroom has a fitted wardrobe and all are served by the family bathroom comprising a bath with shower above, wc and corner hand basin.
