Albion

About this property

Tucked away in a little mews courtyard in the centre of Lymington, Albion is a pretty two storey apartment with glorious views across The Solent and Isle of Wight beyond. Set back from the bustling High Street, there is the benefit of being right in the heart of this popular sailing town, yet being secluded enough for a peaceful retreat.

Approached up an outside staircase lined with potted plants, entry is on the first floor. A light and airy dining kitchen overlooks neighbouring gardens and The Solent beyond. A double bedroom and bathroom are also on this floor. Upstairs the dual aspect lounge, with double sofa bed for occasional use, is a relaxed and comfortable space from which to take in the far reaching views.

Lymington is home to an array of independent shops, pubs, restaurants and cafés plus a weekly Saturday Charter market lining the High Street. Wander down to the cobbled Quay, where fishermen still offload their daily catch, and enjoy a coffee or a tipple overlooking the water and watch the world go by. The Lymington and Keyhaven Nature Reserve, edged by the Solent Way, can be explored on foot or by bike, and is a fantastic spot for birdwatching. The New Forest National Park, with its free-roaming ponies, donkeys and cattle, is just a short drive away, as are the beaches of Milford on Sea and Highcliffe, making this the perfect base for your New Forest holiday.
