Swallows Cottage

All the essential details.

Here's your full run down of this place, inside and out...

Inside

Swallows Cottage is found down a lovely road of character properties in a quiet corner of Lymington that’s wonderfully close to the seawall, yachting clubs and marinas. It has traditional period charm on the outside, step inside, however, and this welcoming family house has a relaxed yet vibrant contemporary coastal style.

The entrance door opens onto an invitingly snug sitting room, perfect for relaxed chilling, with parquet flooring and a deep sofa in a stunning shade of tomato. This leads through to a beautiful light-filled, open plan family room and dining area with bifolds opening onto the garden. There’s a big dining table that comfortably seats eight and masses of comfy seating with inviting curvy green sofa and yellow armchairs. There’s a TV with soundbar, plus lots of books, lots of toys and lots of games to keep everyone happy.

The use of colour throughout is riotous and glorious. There’s also plenty of coastal-inspired artwork by local artists, such as lobster prints in ocean blue, seascapes, and flights of swallows up the stairs. This house is colourful and cosy yet practical. There’s masses of storage space, while a utility with washing machine, handily located off the family room, is super organised and includes a little cloakroom with grey cabinetry.

The kitchen leads off the dining area and features wholesome modern country good looks with classic butler’s sink and quaker style cabinets, smart induction hob, and not one but two fridges for stashing away tasty local produce. A useful bench provides a great space for getting creative with the cookbooks – and there are a lot of cookbooks here. This kitchen is really well equipped so keen cooks will be happy to whizz up something delicious.

The vibe at Swallows Cottage is homely with a comfy family feel. It is particularly well kitted out for a young family (or two) as there are two high chairs, two travel cots and an option to lower blackout blinds in the kiddies’ bedrooms.

Up the carpeted stairs, the first bedroom you reach is a sweet little room with bunk beds and garden views. There are two rooms overlooking the front: a twin bed and a double, and a rather swish family bathroom. The principal double bedroom overlooks the garden and has an en suite shower room and dressing area. Overall, the bedrooms’ style is soothing country tones for easy slumbers.

Outside

Bifold doors open the family room up to a good-sized terrace where chairs around a low table are perfectly positioned for that first cup of coffee in the morning sun. Lovely long lawns stretch away, dotted with a couple of gnarly apple trees providing dappled shade on hot days.

At the end of the garden the summer house, with a dolls house and mini toy kitchen, can be used as a wendy house by kiddies. This useful space also has cycle racks for storing bikes, and cyclists are encouraged to bring their bikes. The summer house also has great WIFI, making it a good space for remote working.

There’s access down the side of the house, a hose for washing down muddy bikes after forest adventures and easy storage on racks in the summer house. Family friendly and bike-friendly - bring your bikes to head off out and about.

Home truths

Easy on-street parking right outside the property.

There’s just one TV in the house, in the family room, but this is a probably a plus. Get everyone outside on the seawall instead.
