Property description

Surrounded by farmland abutting the eastern bank of the Lymington River, a spectacular individual family home in a stand-alone setting built, we understand, in the late Edwardian era (circa 1927).

Leyland House has an intriguing documented provenance. In recent years the property has been both a grand family home and similarly a highly regarded Bed and Breakfast establishment, which featured very favourably in the TV series Three In a Bed. Offered in fine decorative order, the property is constructed of pleasing part colour washed rough cast and natural brick, featuring double glazed casements and characteristic projecting bays, the whole surmounted under a mellow clay tiled roof with traditional cropped hips. The main house offers naturally well lit accommodation arranged over 3 floors that provides for a total of 7 bedrooms served by 4 bathrooms with 3 excellent reception rooms and the usual domestic offices. Within the curtilage of the lawned gardens, which extend to an area of approximately 1.108 acres are 2 very useful outbuildings in the form of The Cottage and The Barn, both of which provide very useful ancillary accommodation, both units being in constant demand, producing a healthy secondary income stream independent of the house.

In all, a fine family home in an unrivalled private, though surprisingly convenient setting.

7 bedrooms, 4 bath/shower rooms (2 en suite), cloakroom, sitting room, dining room, study, kitchen/breakfast room, balcony, separate ancillary accommodation comprising a cottage and barn, extensive lawned gardens abutting farmland, approx 1.108 acres


LYMINGTON    The Georgian market town of Lymington has a wide range of shops and boutiques, as well as having the benefit of excellent sailing facilities including two large marinas, a number of chandleries and moorings on the river and at the Town Quay for visiting Yachtsmen. Every Saturday there is a Charter Market which runs the entire length of the High Street. Lymington offers a branch line link to the Forest village of Brockenhurst (approximately 15 minutes), which is some 5 miles to the north by road, which in turn offers a mainline fast link to London (Waterloo 90 minutes approximately). Junction 1 of the M27 lies 12 miles to the north, and links with the M3 for access to London. Miles of open forest suitable for riding and walking can be accessed at Bull Hill, Pilley or the nearby hamlets of Norleywood and East End.
