Coastal retreats don't come much more refined or elegant than this Grade II listed abode. And locations don't get much better either. Perched right in the heart of the Georgian market town of Lymington, the New Forest and coast are both less than a ten-minute drive. And Solent's quayside is even closer – a six-minute stroll, to be precise. Inside, every corner of this luxurious home feels like an interior magazine come to life. Oil paintings and antique pieces bring a touch of heritage, while pops of blue accents unify the space and remind us that the Solent is never far away. In winter months, curl up beside the crackling fire in the first-floor drawing room – that chesterfield sofa has your name all over it. Then gather your ensemble in the elegant dining room with a blazing hearth at its heart to host a glamourous dinner party. Everything you need to flex your culinary muscles is in the made-for-action kitchen, and the Sonos speakers will set the ambience. On long summer evenings, grab a glass of something chilled and head out through the arched doors into the stunning courtyard garden. Blissfully quiet, it feels like your very own private oasis. And... when it's finally time to bank some beauty sleep, one big hug of a bed awaits upstairs in the three serene bedrooms. Spread out over two floors and offering super king-sized beds decked out in luxurious linens, there's no need to tussle for the best room here. Each room is as beautiful as the next.

About The New Forest
Hot off the press – the New Forest isn’t actually new. Founded in 1079 by William the Conqueror as his personal hunting ground, the New Forest became a national park in 2005. And today, this swathe of green landscape where deer and wild ponies graze freely is one of the most idyllic escapes in the UK. There are plenty of cute-as-a-button villages dotted throughout the region – our favourites include...
