4 bed detached house for sale

The Close, Sway, Lymington, Hampshire SO41

Discreetly positioned at the end of a quiet private road, this distinguished double-storied four bedroom detached residence occupies an exceptionally rare double plot of approximately half an acre. Set within mature, landscaped gardens, the property offers an enviable sense of privacy and calm, creating a near-rural retreat while remaining conveniently connected to village amenities, the mainline railway station and extensive open forest.

Approached through gated access and a sweeping driveway, the house provides ample secure parking in addition to an attached tandem garage with power, lighting and a rear pedestrian door. The exterior of the building reflects the elegant symmetry of a traditional late-1930s English home, enriched by subtle architectural detailing, including a charming arched brick entrance porch that immediately establishes a sense of character and permanence.

Internally, the accommodation is generous and classically proportioned. A welcoming entrance hall leads to a sequence of refined reception rooms, kitchen and dining room, offering excellent flexibility for both formal entertaining and relaxed family living.

The kitchen is notably spacious and features a gas-fired Aga range, extensive cabinetry and picturesque views across the gardens.

Adjoining utility and porch areas are discreetly positioned and highly functional, with an external WC accessed from the rear porch and garden.

A spacious dining room with a bay window, sits opposite the kitchen, creating an ideal arrangement for hosting and entertaining.

The principal reception room enjoys an open fireplace and a large bay window, while the rear reception room also used as a library is distinguished by parquet flooring and a bookcase extending across an entire wall.

From the library, double glazed doors open into a conservatory an elegant, light-filled space with open views across the gardens and direct access outdoors, providing a seamless connection between house and landscape.

A further ground-floor shower room and WC, located off the conservatory, offer a particularly practical amenity.

The first floor comprises four well-proportioned bedrooms arranged off a wide landing, each enjoying leafy outlooks across the grounds and reinforcing the home’s sense of seclusion.

A generously sized family bathroom serves all bedrooms, while the accessible and mostly floored loft provides excellent storage.

The gardens are a defining feature, extending to approximately half an acre and thoughtfully arranged to provide both beauty and usability. Predominantly laid to lawn and framed by mature trees, hedging and shrubs, the grounds incorporate established planting beds, fruit trees, an apple orchard, vegetable gardens and open lawns ideal for recreation and leisure. A fish pond with a fountain adds a charming focal point within the landscape.

Further amenities include two large greenhouses, a wood shingled chalet, a traditional garden shed suitable for workshop or hobby use, and an additional metal tool shed discreetly positioned at the far end of the garden.

Such a substantial private plot, combined with a detached period home of this calibre and character, is increasingly rare particularly within such convenient reach of transport links and village life. This is an exceptional opportunity for families seeking space, privacy and a long-term home where children can grow, explore and thrive, without sacrificing connectivity and convenience.
