Wainsford Road, Pennington, Lymington, Hampshire, SO41 8GE

49 Wainsford Road is a beautifully presented three bedroom character cottage which has been thoughtfully remodelled and modernised in recent years to create a stylish, versatile home. The property successfully combines period character with contemporary living and benefits from an impressive open-plan kitchen/dining/living space, a ground-floor double bedroom with en-suite shower room, off-road parking and an attractive private rear garden.

Occupying an excellent position directly opposite Pennington Common, the property enjoys an attractive open outlook while remaining within approximately five minutes’ walk of Pennington Village, local shops and schools. Lymington town centre, the coast and the open spaces of the New Forest National Park are also within easy reach.

The Property - From the gravelled driveway, a pathway leads to the front entrance door, which opens into a welcoming reception hall with attractive stripped herringbone flooring. Leading from the hall is a generous ground-floor double bedroom, featuring a vaulted ceiling and a pleasant outlook towards Pennington Common. This room benefits from its own en-suite shower room, fitted with a walk-in shower, WC and wash basin, making it ideal as a principal bedroom, guest suite or for multi-generational living.

The heart of the cottage is the impressive open-plan kitchen/dining/living space. Although open plan, the accommodation naturally divides into three distinct areas, creating an excellent environment for both everyday living and entertaining.

The kitchen is attractively fitted with a comprehensive range of cupboards, complemented by a range cooker with extractor canopy over and a traditional butler’s sink. There is ample space for a fridge/freezer, tiled flooring and a useful cupboard housing the boiler.

This leads into the dining area with wood flooring, which in turn flows naturally into the sitting room. Newly fitted bi-fold patio doors open directly onto the rear terrace and garden, providing plenty of natural light and creating an excellent connection between the internal and external living spaces. An inner hallway has a door providing additional access outside and stairs rising to the first floor.

On the first floor are two further bedrooms. Bedroom one enjoys a rear aspect and features colour-washed stripped flooring, an attractive wood-panelled wall and a fitted wardrobe cupboard. Bedroom two overlooks the front of the property towards Pennington Common and also benefits from colour-washed stripped wood flooring and fitted wardrobe cupboards. The bedrooms are served by a contemporary shower room comprising a walk-in shower with fully tiled surround, vanity wash basin with storage cupboards beneath, WC and heated towel rail.

Outside - To the front, a gravelled driveway provides valuable off-road parking, with a pathway leading to the entrance.

The private rear garden is another attractive feature of the cottage. A generous terrace immediately adjoining the house provides an excellent space for outside dining and entertaining, particularly with the direct connection to the principal living accommodation. Beyond the terrace is an area of lawn surrounded by established beds and borders, creating an attractive and manageable garden which complements the character and versatility of the property.

Location - Wainsford Road occupies a particularly convenient position in the heart of Pennington, with the property enjoying an attractive outlook across Pennington Common immediately opposite. The Common provides an appealing open green space on the doorstep and contributes greatly to the location.

Pennington Village is within a few minutes’ walk and provides a useful range of everyday amenities, including local shops and a sub-post office, together with nearby schools. Lymington’s attractive Georgian High Street is also within easy reach and offers an excellent selection of independent and boutique shops, cafés, bars and restaurants, as well as the popular weekly Saturday market. The picturesque Town Quay, Lymington River, yacht clubs, marinas and Yacht Haven reflect the town’s strong sailing heritage and provide easy access to the Solent.

For those who enjoy the outdoors, the nearby coastal paths and sea wall offer excellent walking, while the New Forest National Park is only a short drive away, providing miles of ancient woodland, open heathland and countryside for walking, cycling and horse riding. The location therefore provides an excellent balance between village life, the facilities of Lymington, the coast and the New Forest.
