About
Situated along a peaceful country lane enjoying views of open fields, Holmlea is a light and spacious detached four-bedroom family home close to the open forest.
The property requires some modernisation and benefits from a long, private rear garden and tandem garage (which has potential to be ancillary accommodation STPP).
The property is situated on the outskirts of Sway village in the New Forest National Park.
The Georgian market town of Lymington is only 5 miles from the property offering extensive yachting facilities, a famous Saturday market and a ferry service to Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight.
Sway has a good range of amenities including a railway station.
Brockenhurst is 4 miles to the north-east with mainline rail links to London Waterloo (approximately 90 minutes) and a bustling community of shops and restaurants.
A brick-built storm porch provides access into the dual aspect sitting room which benefits from a wood burner set into a brick surround with tiled hearth.
Patio doors grant attractive views of the mature rear garden.
From the sitting room, a door leads to the kitchen/breakfast room which has space for a fridge, dishwasher and oven, with tiled splash backs and fitted storage units.
A separate utility room provides space for a tall fridge/freezer, washing machine, useful storage and a stable door out to the rear garden.
To the other side of the sitting room, there is a ground-floor bathroom comprising a w/c, lowered bath with shower over and aqua panelling, pedestal basin, heated towel rail and Velux windows.
Two double bedrooms complete the ground floor accommodation.
The first floor offers two further double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, both enjoying lovely views of the surrounding countryside and garden, a study and a family shower room incorporating a corner shower cubicle, w/c, vanity sink unit, storage currently housing a dryer, and boiler cupboard.
To the front is a gravel drive with space for several vehicles, a lawned area with hedge and brick wall boundaries.
The rear garden is a standout feature providing a very attractive, mature space with apple trees, summer house and potting sheds laid to lawn.
At the rear of the home is a good sociable space comprising raised decking area and patio, with shade provided by an electric awning when required.
There is a tandem garage with workshop and outside w/c accessed via an electric up-and-over door which could become ancillary accommodation (STPP).
