2 ROPEWALK COTTAGES, built in 1860, offers self catering accommodation in Lymington. The cottage was originally one of a row of terraced cottages occupied by fishermen, rope makers and boat builders. It is ideally situated by Lymington Harbour’s scenic waterfront and has its own off road car parking space for one. The cottage is now ‘upside down’ to fully appreciate its position. It is double glazed, gas central heated, 1080 sq ft in size, well equipped and comfortably furnished.
