Victory Cottage was completely refurbished and extended in summer of 2018. The house is superbly appointed and equipped. It has the benefit of modern and brand new fittings whilst maintaining many original features, thus providing the feel of the Victorian era with modern day comfort and technology. The southwest facing walled garden has been attractively landscaped with terraces on 3 levels. The cottage-style garden is a delightful place to relax, read or eat outside, particularly in the summer months. Outside lighting enhances the atmosphere at night. The proximity of the house to the historic cobbled streets leading to the Town Quay and local railway station in one direction and Lymingtons famous marinas and coastal paths in the other direction make this house ideally positioned for all that the town has to offer, including the shops and restaurants. Today Lymington is a small thriving market town with a ferry terminal for connections to Yarmouth, the Isle of Wight and a famous yachting town with two marinas. It is a popular holiday venue, greatly enhanced by its proximity to the New Forest which is within a 10-minute drive. The location affords visitors the chance to explore the local villages of Brockenhurst, Lyndhurst and Beaulieu or walk, ride or cycle along the miles of tracks available in a stunning setting.
