Sharvells Road, Milford on Sea, Lymington, Hampshire, SO41

Approached via a long gravel driveway and nestled within approximately 0.43 acres of beautifully landscaped west facing grounds, Cosgarne House is an exceptional Ravenscroft residence that effortlessly combines period grandeur with contemporary family living. Extending to approximately 3,541 sq ft, this distinguished home occupies a secluded position overlooking the nearby nature reserve, yet remains within a short stroll of Milford on Sea‘s vibrant village centre, clifftop walks and stunning coastline.
Steeped in character, the house showcases many original features synonymous with Ravenscroft homes, including impressive ceiling heights, elegant proportions and beautifully preserved fireplaces. The result is a home of immense charm that has been thoughtfully adapted to meet the demands of modern living.
The welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, with herringbone oak flooring and access to the principal reception rooms. The drawing room is a magnificent dual aspect space centred around an open fireplace, with doors opening directly onto the terrace and gardens beyond. Connecting seamlessly to the drawing room is a charming snug, complete with garden views, a fireplace and double doors, creating a versatile and intimate retreat. A formal dining room provides the perfect backdrop for entertaining, family celebrations and festive gatherings.
At the heart of the home lies a superb lifestyle kitchen, dining and living space designed for modern family life. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with granite and timber work surfaces, a Butler sink, gas fired Aga, additional gas hob and ample storage. The dining area comfortably accommodates larger gatherings and opens onto the terrace through bi fold doors, creating a wonderful connection between inside and out.
The adjoining living area is particularly impressive, with its vaulted ceiling, dramatic cathedral style glazing and double sided wood burner. Flooded with natural light throughout the day, it is a space that naturally becomes the focal point of the home. Beyond, a study enjoys the warmth of the double sided fireplace and offers an ideal environment for home working, reading or creative pursuits.
Practicality has not been overlooked. A substantial laundry room provides extensive storage and appliance space, while a secondary entrance hall offers further storage and everyday convenience. Two ground floor cloakrooms complete the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs, five generously proportioned bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for families and visiting guests. The principal suite enjoys delightful views across the rear garden and benefits from fitted furniture and a private ensuite shower room. Bedrooms two and three are particularly spacious doubles, both retaining period charm and character. Bedroom three also enjoys direct access to a stylish Jack and Jill shower room. Two further bedrooms are served by a luxurious family bathroom featuring a striking freestanding copper bath alongside a separate shower.
Outside, the gardens are every bit as impressive as the accommodation. The west facing grounds have been carefully landscaped to create a series of distinct outdoor spaces. An elevated terrace overlooks a pond and sweeping lawns, providing the perfect setting for summer entertaining. Mature trees, established planting and carefully positioned seating areas create a sense of privacy and tranquillity throughout the plot.
A standout feature is the substantial garden cabin. Far more than a simple outbuilding, this versatile space lends itself perfectly to a home office, gym, studio, wellness retreat or entertaining space. Complete with power, lighting, sauna, shower facilities and a decked area suitable for a hot tub, it offers exceptional flexibility for modern lifestyles.
The property is approached via a long private driveway that provides extensive parking and turning space, leading to a double garage with electric doors, power and lighting.
Rarely do homes of this calibre become available in such a desirable Milford on Sea location. Combining period elegance, generous proportions, private grounds and a lifestyle centred around village, coast and countryside living, Cosgarne House represents a truly exceptional opportunity.
