Full Details for 2 Bedroom Semi-Detached for sale in Lymington, SO41 :
A semi-detached cob cottage exhibiting a wealth of character and charm, with a fine, protected outlook.
Situated within the National Park, Mead Cottage and the adjoining cottage have an interesting provenance in that they were derived from a run of three linked farm workers cottages. Backing onto tracts of arable farmland in the ownership of the neighbouring farm, the cottage is constructed of partial cob and/or brick elevations with a pleasing mellow pale cream colour washed rough cast rendered finish with whitened small pane painted hardwood and/or whitened aluminium glazing, the whole surmounted by a steep pitched tiled roof. Formed from two earlier cottages, the property benefits from (in the main) good headroom throughout and features a fine sitting room with an adjacent gardenside conservatory. A split-level through room provides for a dining room and separate study area - the study area would at minimum expense serve as an additional ground floor bedroom, whilst across the back of the cottage is a sizable kitchen with a useful side/rear lobby. Overhead, the cottage provides for 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the principal bedroom having a useful dressing room (at one time an additional bedroom) with the principal bedroom at that time being accessed directly off the then landing. Externally, the cottage has a well-stocked private shrub garden with tracts of maintained lawn linking with a fine outbuilding in the form of a double garage, accessed along the lane at the head of the garden, with a double width driveway that provides a useful additional area of off-lane parking suitable for several vehicles or a caravan/boat etc.
