Broadmead, Sway, Lymington, SO41

A beautifully designed family home with exquisite interiors, landscaped south-facing gardens, and seamless indoor-outdoor living on the edge of Lymington

ABOUT THE HOUSE
Appletree House is an elegant yet inviting family home, set on the outskirts of Lymington within a beautifully landscaped, south-facing garden. Bought from new, the current owners have ensured a flawless finish throughout, while thoughtfully shaping the gardens into a stunning extension of the living space.

A striking double-height atrium sets the tone from the moment you step inside, filling the entrance with natural light. From here, the hallway flows into a spectacular kitchen/dining/family room - undoubtedly the heart of the home- where bi-fold doors open onto the sun-soaked terrace. Designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living, this space is perfect for entertaining, whether it’s a leisurely breakfast or an alfresco summer evening barbecue, with warmth radiating from the stone patio long after sunset.

For quieter moments, the sitting room offers a refined retreat, featuring bespoke built-in cabinetry and a wood-burning stove, creating a wonderfully cosy atmosphere on winter evenings. A separate dining room provides a more formal space for hosting, while the snug—designed as a dedicated haven for children—offers its own relaxed setting. A utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, five generously sized bedrooms provide space for family and guests. The principal suite is a sanctuary of its own, with a walk-in wardrobe and far-reaching views over the gardens. Two further bedrooms enjoy en-suite bathrooms, while the others share a well-appointed family bathroom.

Outside there is a triple garage, with a versatile room above- perfect as a home office, creative studio, or games room.

ABOUT THIS AREA
Lymington is a charming Georgian market town on the edge of the New Forest, where cobbled streets lead to a picturesque quay lined with yachts and fishing boats. The town’s bustling high street is home to independent boutiques, artisan cafés, and a renowned Saturday market that has drawn visitors for centuries.

A haven for sailors, Lymington boasts two prestigious marinas and direct access to the Solent, making it a gateway to some of the finest sailing waters in the country. Regular ferries from the town link to Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight, offering effortless island escapes.

Beyond the waterfront, the New Forest National Park unfolds - a breathtaking landscape of ancient woodlands, heathland, and hidden villages, where wild ponies roam freely. Walking, cycling, and riding trails weave through this unspoiled terrain, offering endless opportunities for outdoor adventure.

For city connections, Southampton lies just 18 miles East, offering excellent shopping, dining, and cultural attractions, while fast rail links from nearby Brockenhurst whisk passengers to London Waterloo in under two hours.
