High Street, Lymington SO41

Located at the bottom of Lymington High Street and offered for sale with no forward chain, this one/two bedroom Grade II Listed first floor character apartment has the advantage of its own private south facing mature garden with outbuildings, ripe for redevelopment (STPP). This unique apartment is very spacious and benefits from many character features, high ceilings, original beams, a floor to ceiling Georgian garden window and a south facing private walled garden with outbuildings. The property has been decorated to a high standard, has been re-wired and has a modern gas fired central heating boiler. The property offers potential for reconfiguration and updating and will require a new kitchen to be fitted and the bathroom upgrading.
