An Exceptional Period Townhouse with Significant Development Potential in the Heart of Lymington
This impressive and beautifully proportioned three-storey period townhouse offers approximately 1,500 sq ft of accommodation, complemented by a substantial adjoining outbuilding extending to circa 2,230 sq ft. Rarely does a property of such scale and versatility become available in this highly sought-after location.
Positioned just a few hundred yards from Lymington’s historic Town Quay, the property enjoys close proximity to the river and its picturesque array of leisure and fishing boats. A foot passenger ferry provides convenient access to Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight, while the vibrant High Street is moments away, reached via a charming cobbled quay street lined with an excellent selection of boutique shops, renowned restaurants, and traditional public houses.
The property benefits from extensive off-street parking to one side and offers outstanding potential for further enhancement.
The adjoining outbuilding, previously utilised as offices and storage, presents a rare opportunity for redevelopment, subject to the usual consents. Potential uses include additional residential accommodation, a self-contained annexe, or a highly desirable live/work environment.
The Main House
The ground floor opens with a generous sitting room featuring a bay window overlooking Bath Road. Double doors lead through to an elegant dining room, enhanced by a feature wood-burning stove and staircase rising to the upper floors. The well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with an extensive range of wall and base units, generous work surfaces, a double enamel sink, and space for a range cooker, creating a practical yet inviting space for everyday living and entertaining.
The first floor hosts a principal bedroom to the front, enjoying a bay window and a spacious en-suite bathroom comprising a panelled bath, WC, wash basin, and a large separate shower cubicle, complemented by a charming Victorian fireplace. A second double bedroom is positioned to the rear together with a substantial shower room with WC, wash basin, and a large airing cupboard housing the hot water cylinder and boiler, also featuring a period fireplace.
On the second floor, bedroom three is located to the front with its own en-suite shower room, while bedroom four benefits from an en-suite cloakroom. Steps lead to a generous attic space illuminated by two Velux windows, offering further scope and flexibility.
The Outbuilding
Adjoining the rear of the main house is the extensive two-storey outbuilding, currently arranged as a series of workshops and office spaces extending to 2230 sq ft. With its substantial footprint and adaptable layout, it presents an excellent opportunity for conversion to further accommodation or commercial use, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
Summary
A property of considerable character and scale, offering exceptional versatility in one of Lymington’s most desirable locations. Equally suited as a distinguished family residence, an investment opportunity, or a mixed residential and commercial proposition, this rare offering combines period elegance with outstanding potential.
