An impressive Grade II Listed Georgian townhouse occupying a prominent position on the highly sought-after Captains Row, in the heart of historic Lymington.
Captains Row is a handsome period property offering spacious and versatile accommodation arranged over three floors, retaining a wealth of character and period features throughout. The property is beautifully presented and combines the charm and proportions of a Georgian townhouse with the convenience of modern living.
The ground floor provides a welcoming entrance and spacious hallway, leading into a generous open-plan sitting and dining room. An attractive bay window and fireplace create a focal point, while glazed doors open directly onto the rear garden, providing a wonderful connection between the house and garden. There is also a cloakroom and a useful cellar with good head height.
To the rear is a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room with glazed double doors opening onto the courtyard and garden. The kitchen offers a good range of storage and preparation space, with an archway leading through to a useful utility room with further storage and space for appliances.
The first floor offers particularly impressive accommodation, with the principal bedroom suite occupying much of the floor. The bedroom is approached through a fitted dressing room and benefits from an en suite bathroom. The current owners have also created a wonderful first floor sitting room, making the most of the property's elevated position and providing attractive views towards the river and mast tops beyond. A further storage room completes the floor.
The second floor provides three further double bedrooms, including a front-facing bedroom enjoying particularly attractive views, together with a family bathroom and separate cloakroom. The accommodation provides excellent flexibility and could comfortably suit family living, a second home or those looking for a characterful property close to the coast.
The south west facing garden is a particular highlight. Beautifully landscaped and thoughtfully designed for ease of maintenance, the garden is arranged over several levels, with a sunny, partially enclosed courtyard immediately adjoining the house. The dining and kitchen areas open onto a paved terrace, creating an ideal space for alfresco dining and entertaining. Landscaped steps lead upwards through the garden to further areas of planting, with space for a vegetable garden, compost area and garden shed. The elevated position provides a charming outlook, including views towards the distinctive cupola of Lymington Town Hall.
