A unique opportunity to acquire a wonderful link detached country house full of original charm set in 1.3 acres of tranquil and private parkland gardens. The property forms part of the late 19th Century Wainsford Estate and has been cared for by the current owners for over 23 years. The property is being sold with no forward chain.

Wainsford Garden House is situated in a magical setting surrounded by trees, nature and parkland set at the end of a long driveway with views of rolling pasture land. Despite its idyllic semi rural setting, there is a strong community with the neighbouring properties. The location is incredibly convenient with nearby walks on Pennington Common and footpaths close by the property leading to both the Forest and the coast. Nearby Pennington has a range of shops catering for most daily requirements while the market town of Lymington has a Georgian High Street with both national chains and independent boutiques. Rural pursuits are close at hand with walking, riding and cycling in the New Forest. Nearby Lymington has a range of sailing clubs and marinas.

Built in 1902 the property boasts a raft of original features and is full of character and charm with views of the beautiful parkland garden. With an attractive covered entrance porch the house opens into a spacious and welcoming hallway from which all main rooms can be accessed. As well as a separate utility room and cloakroom there is also an elegant living room with an impressive stone open fire place and dining room with feature open fire place. The kitchendiner is the hub of the house enjoying views and access to the rear patio. Leading off the kitchen is a family room and there is scope to extend the kitchen to create a larger open plan kitchendiner incorporating the family room subject to the necessary planning permission.  A further intriguing aspect of the accommodation is the useful basement study and boot room. Stairs lead to the first floor with a study area part way up.
