7 The walled gardens and paddock extend to approximately 4 acres including a lightly wooded area alongside a stream. Grounds & Gardens Nestling in to a large corner plot of approximately 4 acres, Keyhaven Lodge occupies an enviable position within a few hundred yards of the waterfront and the popular walks along the Seabank to the East and Hurst Castle to the West. The private gardens surrounding the property are beautifully maintained with secluded patio areas, sun drenched courtyards and pristine lawns. A refurbished tennis court lies hidden behind the walled garden with a wooded copse separating the lawns from the 2 Agent s Note acres of pasture land which wrap around the North end eastern boundaries, complete with shepherds hut and a small wooded copse which leads down to the banks of the River Avon. The long gravel driveway runs the length of the plot shielded from the house by fencing which leads to a triple garage, gabled to the North side and used for log storage. The garaging is divided in to two car garages and one office space with cloakroom. The property currently has planning permission granted for a double extension adjoining the master bedroom and sitting room. Footings have been completed so that the permission is in perpetuity.

10 The Situation Keyhaven is said to derive from "Cyhaefen" the Saxon term for a point of disembarkation to and from the Isle of Wight for animals bound for market. It is believed to have been a port from as early as Keyhaven is a distinctive hamlet with a tidal harbour beloved by yachtsmen, anglers, birdwatchers and artists drawn by the play of light and colour on the marshes and gleaming channels. The two sailing clubs are a short distance away as is The Gunn Inn. Keyhaven is about three miles from Lymington which offers a good selection of local shops and restaurants. Southampton and Bournemouth airports offer both national and international flights. Lymington also has a railway station with branch line to Brockenhurst where you can catch a train to London Waterloo (approx. 90 minutes). Directions From our office in Lymington turn right and continue up the High Street passing through the one-way system at the top of the High Street following signs for Christchurch.
