This mid-terrace residence, part of the historic Ava Cottages dating back to 1881, is situated in a desirable street characterized by Victorian and Edwardian architecture. The property is conveniently located within walking distance of essential amenities such as Waitrose and Lymington High Street. It boasts significant renovation potential, offering an opportunity to adapt or extend the home (subject to planning permissions) to better suit contemporary living needs.
The house features predominantly double-glazed windows and retains charming original internal doors and architraves that enhance its character. A slate roof covers the home, and the loft space presents an opportunity for conversion into an additional bedroom with an en-suite shower room (pending planning approval). Many neighboring properties have successfully extended, indicating strong potential for similar enhancements here; architectural plans are available for reconfiguring this layout into a three-bedroom, two-bathroom arrangement. Other creative options include reorienting the smallest bedroom to facilitate a larger bathroom space.
The property is enclosed by a low brick wall and features a paved area leading to the front door, which opens into a lengthy entrance hall. The south-facing lounge is highlighted by a fireplace, while the dining area overlooks the rear garden and includes an open fireplace as well. The kitchen, fitted with integrated appliances from John Lewis alongside a Worcester Bosch combi boiler, holds potential for reworking in tandem with the adjoining bathroom to expand its functionality.
On the upper level, there are three bedrooms—two sizable doubles interconnected through a Jack & Jill wardrobe that could be redesigned to establish a landing with direct access to the loft. The smallest bedroom has recently undergone repairs due to prior water damage but offers possibilities for conversion into a bathroom.
The long rear garden adds further appeal and versatility to this property, which stands ready for significant improvement.
Western Road's appeal is amplified by its proximity to local shops, cafes, and markets in Lymington's Georgian town center. This vibrant area also offers sailing opportunities and proximity to beautiful local beaches as well as The New Forest National Park. Transport links include branch line access from Lymington to Brockenhurst mainline station (serving London Waterloo) and ferry services to the Isle of Wight.
