The house forms an intrinsic part of Lymington’s history and identity. Positioned in a highly convenient High Street position, directly opposite St Thomas’ church the house could not be more ideally positioned for Lymington’s excellent shops, restaurants and Saturday market.
The house is also within minutes of the Marinas, Sailing Clubs and coastal walks as well as Lymington’s historic picturesque harbour. On the fringes of town the natural beauty of the New Forest National Park provides countless walks and cycle rides.
To the north is the New Forest village of Lyndhurst and Junction 1 of the M27 which links to the M3 for access to London. There is a branch line train link to Brockenhurst Railway Station (approximately 5.5 miles) which provides a half hourly service to London Waterloo with a journey time of approximately 90 minutes.
There is a range of both state and private schooling, with the popular Walhampton preparatory school close by.
The charming courtyard garden that gives the house its name is positioned centrally within the building and provides an extremely peaceful outdoor space well screened from the hustle and bustle of Lymington High Street. The courtyard has a distinct Mediterranean feel with glazed doors opening to the house on three sides lending this space the feel of an outdoor room, ideal for the summer months and warm summer evenings.
There is a superb integral garage opening off the high street which provides enough space to park a Range Rover. Behind the garage is a store room which has stairs down to a brick lined cellar. There is a door from the store room to the courtyard garden providing another means of access.
