| Wheathill stands in a semi-rural location
on the outskirts of Lymington, on a leafy road leading to
the New Forest. A short walk brings you to Pennington Common
and then on to the post office/store and traditional unspoilt
village pub, the Musketeer (which keeps excellent real ales
and offers super home-cooked lunches). |

the road with off-road parking for four

Walking in under the full-width
open veranda, through the front door of the holiday cottage,
we enter the downstairs hallway (pic1,
pic2),
with original exposed timber floors and woodwork throughout.
The first door on the left opens into bedroom
5 (pic1,
pic2),
a family room with a double and two 3' single beds, and
fireplace. To our right another door opens into bedroom
6 (pic1,
pic2),
with double bed and fireplace, while the passageway ahead
(pic1,
pic2)
takes us into the kitchen/diner. |

features a table to enjoy views out on to the rear garden
over breakfast or a light snack. Appliances include kettle,
toaster, a stainless steel oven/hob and extractor, microwave,
fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. There is
also a washing line in the garden for drying on sunny days.
From the kitchen a lobby leads to the back
door, then another to the utility room, ground floor shower
room, and bedroom 7, a large double room with adjacent shower
room. contact

From the
kitchen we enter the large lounge of
this new forest holiday cottage (pic1,
pic2,
pic3,
pic4,
pic5),with
dining area at the bay window end of
the room, featuring an open fire for those cosy nights
in with your family or friends, television and video,
books, and games.
The impressive feature square bay across
the end really brings the garden into the room, and the
room into the garden! |

From the hallway, an easy
flight of stairs
leads to the spacious split level galleried landing
(pic1,
pic2),
with views of both the front and back gardens.
All the original carpentry has, wherever
possible, been preserved and renovated. New woodwork has
been modelled to mirror that of the existing. All floorboards
along the landing here are original, sanded and varnished
boards. contact
us |
From the top of the stairs,
immediately to your left is the bathroom
with panelled bath, separate shower, wall-hung hand basin
and w.c. Shaving socket and mirror over the basin.
A Velux window has been cut into the vaulted ceiling,
cascading light from a high level into the room, making
it very bright and airy. |

along the landing, we come to bedroom 1
(pic1,
pic2),
a large bedroom overlooking the back garden, with double
bed, twin oak wardrobe, open fire, television (portable)
and en-suite
bathroom with a large twin shower, hand basin and
w.c. contact

master bedroom is bedroom 2, a small double
bedded room. Up two steps and along the galleried landing
towards the front of the cottage are bedroom 3
(pic1,

and bedroom 4 (pic1,
