Church Mead, Lymington, Hampshire SO41

A distinguished four-bedroom residence that combines timeless oak-framed craftsmanship with contemporary refinement. From the welcoming hall and show-stopping kitchen to the vaulted principal suite and light-filled family spaces, this is a home of exceptional quality. Set within landscaped gardens with a south-facing veranda, it also offers garaging and a boathouse with additional accommodation for guests or crew. Perfectly positioned close to renowned marinas and yacht clubs of Lymington, it is an ideal family home or base for the discerning sailor.

The ground floor
A covered oak-framed porch with granite step and a solid front door sets the tone for this beautiful home. Stepping inside, the hall immediately impresses with its panelled walls, tumbled oak parquet flooring and oak-framed windows stretching from floor to ceiling, flooding the space with light. An elegant staircase rises to the first floor, while a cloakroom with a Victorian-style suite lies discreetly off the hall.

To the right, the TV room provides an inviting retreat, complete with panelled walls and French doors that open onto the garden. From the hall, glass doors draw you into the spectacular kitchen and family room – the heart of the home. Here, contemporary design meets timeless quality, with sleek cabinetry topped by marble work surfaces and fitted with Siemens appliances including twin double ovens, grill, microwave, induction hob and dishwasher. A central island and breakfast bar make this a natural gathering point for family and friends.

Discreetly hidden behind a secret door, the utility room offers additional storage, space for an American-style fridge/freezer and plumbing for laundry appliances. The adjoining family and dining area is wonderfully light and spacious, with three sets of French doors opening onto the wide veranda, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out.
The first floor

Upstairs, the landing leads to four double bedrooms, each with its own character. The principal bedroom is a stunning vaulted space, open to the eaves and filled with natural light from its dual aspect. Built-in dressing tables flank a central window, while the en suite shower room combines luxury and practicality with a large walk-in shower, double vanity unit and WC. The second bedroom sits beside the family bathroom, which is fitted with a designer Laufen suite comprising bath, shower enclosure, vanity unit and WC. With its secondary door, this bathroom can easily serve as a private en suite if desired. The third bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes, and the fourth is a delightful space with a bespoke built-in bunk and access to the roof via a pull-down ladder. An airing cupboard and a boiler cupboard housing the Worcester gas-fired boiler complete the upper floor.
The gardens & garaging

Outside, the house is approached via a private gravel driveway that leads to double gates and into a generous parking area. Beyond this is the garaging and boathouse complex, which includes a workshop space, additional kitchenette and cloakroom, together with an internal link to the garage with its up-and-over door. Above the garaging is additional accommodation, ideal for guests or crew, offering a sitting room with kitchenette, a bedroom and shower room. The parking area beside the garaging is block paved, ensuring ample space for vehicles.

The garden is mainly laid to lawn, edged with raised beds filled with mature shrubs and plants. A glasshouse and garden shed are tucked neatly to one side, while the wide veranda, supported by oak pillars, wraps around to the south elevation and provides an inviting space for outdoor entertaining.

This is a home that balances elegance and warmth, offering both refined living spaces and a welcoming atmosphere - a place as perfectly suited to quiet family life as it is to entertaining on a grand scale.
