Surrounded by open fields and adjacent to the Lymington River, this stunning six-bedroom, late Edwardian country house benefits from 1.1 acres of stunning grounds and two detached 'income generating' lodges.

In recent years Leyland House has been both a beautiful family home and a highly regarded Bed and Breakfast establishment.

The house is beautifully presented throughout, the property features double glazed casements and characteristic projecting bays and well lit accommodation arranged over three floors, providing a total of six bedrooms served by four bathrooms with three spacious reception rooms as well as the usual domestic offices.

The central front door opens to a wide staircase hall that provides access to the principal reception rooms.

The main sitting room lies to the left and has a dual aspect with a bay window to the front overlooking lawn gardens. The sitting room is particularly spacious and is currently used as the dining room for the B&B business.

Also accessed from the hall is the study and a separate family room that also has double doors opening onto the sitting room providing very spacious entertaining and living space if required.

Beyond the family room lies a large kitchen / breakfast room with a modern range of fitted cupboards as well as a generous dining and sitting area.

At the rear of the house and accessible from the kitchen is a back hall with a rear door as well as a boot room and downstairs WC.

Upstairs there are three double en-suite bedrooms. The master bedroom is at the rear of the house with French windows that lead to a balcony overlooking the rear garden as well as a dressing room.

There is also a generous utility room on the first floor which is particularly convenient and on the top floor there are three further bedrooms and a shower room.

The house occupies a glorious position surrounded by unspoilt open countryside. Such a setting is extremely rare in this area and particularly so within such a short distance of Lymington.

The house is approached over a long gravel drive that leads through the gardens to a large turning and parking area.

The gardens of 1.1 acres that surround the house and are mostly laid to lawn with a very pleasant southerly and westerly aspect. There is a large paved terrace to the south of the house which can be reached from French windows in the kitchen/breakfast room and provides a perfect spot for outside entertaining.

Lawned gardens extend to the front of the house which are interspersed near the southern boundary by mature shrubs, trees and hedging. There are further formal gardens lying to the rear of the house which are again laid to lawn with beautiful open views across the surrounding fields and planted with a small selection of specimen trees.

The two outbuildings include: The Cottage which offers a generous kitchen/living room, two bedrooms and a shower room while The Barn provides a kitchen/living room, bedroom and shower room. Both buildings provide excellent ancillary accommodation and are in constant demand, producing a healthy secondary income stream, independent of the house.

The property is being marketed by Spencers having the flexibility of both a detached two bedroom annexe and one bedroom barn adjacent to the main house
