A rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional equestrian property set within approximately 3 acres of well-maintained paddock land. A further 3.9 acres of adjoining land is available by separate negotiation.

The spacious four-bedroom family home is beautifully presented throughout, providing generous living accommodation and the benefit of solar panels for low running costs. Complemented by a charming formal garden, the property perfectly balances practical facilities with comfortable family living.

SITUATION

Situated in a semi-rural position some 2¼ miles west of the Georgian market town of Lymington, a world renowned sailing centre with stunning river walks, deep water marinas and yacht clubs. To the north east is the New Forest village of Brockenhurst with a mainline rail connection (London/Waterloo 90 minutes approx.) There is a further rail connection from Sway, which also has a range of local shops and is accessible to the extensive walks and riding available throughout the New Forest National Park. Approximately 4 miles west of the property is the town of New Milton that affords comprehensive leisure, shopping and educational facilities, again with a mainline rail connection. The coastline fronting Christchurch Bay, with it the pretty coastal village of Milford on Sea, is situated some 3 miles south offering safe sea swimming opportunities.

THE PROPERTY

To the rear, the property enjoys far-reaching views across open countryside, with direct access to your paddock land and stabling—perfectly suited for equestrian living.

Ideally positioned, the home offers an exceptional setting from which to enjoy both coastal and forest lifestyles. Set within mature grounds and extending to over 2,000 sq ft, Myrtle Cottage presents a superb opportunity to acquire a distinguished equestrian country residence. Ample parking further enhances its practicality.

The accommodation is accessed via an impressive entrance hallway, leading to three principal reception rooms. The sitting room is particularly striking, featuring a substantial brick fireplace with wood-burning stove, and flows seamlessly into a conservatory that enjoys delightful views over the garden. The contemporary kitchen/diner is fitted with sleek light grey gloss units and benefits from access to a utility room, additional storage cupboards, and a door leading to the rear garden. A ground floor WC completes the layout.

To the first floor there are four generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is bright and spacious, featuring windows on two sides and a contemporary en-suite shower room. A family bathroom serves the remaining three bedrooms.

GROUNDS AND GARDENS

A five bar gate opens in to the expansive gravelled parking area. The secure space is perfect for unloading ponies as it has direct access to the stable block and tack room. In addition there is a newly constructed double garage with concrete floor, power and light and a secure internal store room. The formal landscaped gardens, stretch away from the back of the house with a patio, summer house, numerous fruit trees, colourful plantings and hedge borders. The paddock land covers approx three acres and is divided in to three main areas of approx one acre each. Beyond the formal gardens is an open faced barn, currently used for hay storage. The fields have secure boundaries, well drained with a water supply and all accessed via five bar gates.

Agents Note: There is an additional 3.9 acres of land adjoining the property available under separate negotiation.
