New Forest Drive, Brockenhurst, SO42

An impressive four/five bedroom family home of bespoke design having undergone an extensive program of remodelling and extension to a particularly high standard using a local interior designer and architect to create well planned living areas and a magnificent kitchen/dining room. Tucked away in a small cul de sac in this popular village development with ample parking and a sunny garden. Viewing is highly recommended.

The property is set in a tranquil location within a short walk of the open forest on the outskirts of the sought after village of Brockenhurst. The village is approximately a ten minute walk away and offers a mainline railway station with direct links to London Waterloo (approx. 90 minutes), a well-regarded primary school and tertiary college and a good local community of shops and restaurants.

The picturesque village of Beaulieu lies 7 miles to the east with the marina of Bucklers Hard on the Beaulieu River. Approximately 4 miles to the south is the Georgian market town of Lymington with its extensive yachting facilities, its famous Saturday County market and ferry service to Yarmouth, Isle of Wight. To the north is the village of Lyndhurst and Junction 1 of the M27 motorway which links to the M3 giving access to London.

The striking entrance provides the first "Wow" factor being an atrium designed with gallery to the first floor above and flooded with light from the vaulted ceiling with glazed unit. A hand crafted oak staircase leads to the first floor. The colour palette of navy blue against the oak is stylish and adds to the feeling of calm throughout the house. The beautiful limestone flooring runs throughout the majority of the ground floor fitted with underfloor heating.

There is a large sitting room with log burner and glazed double doors to each end. One set of doors lead to the family snug and another to the dining area of the magnificent kitchen. From the hallway there are doors to a home office which in turn leads to a media room/bedroom five.

A "Jack and Jill" arrangement of doors allows the generous ground floor shower room to be linked to both the hall and media room/bedroom. The utility room is fitted with the same storage units and quartz worktops as the kitchen and with sink and plumbing for the laundry.

The stunning kitchen/dining room is worthy of note. With bi-folding doors and large opening sliding doors spanning the width of both the dining area and kitchen, making a light and airy space with vaulted ceiling incorporating three Velux units. The kitchen has a large island unit and there is ample preparation space on the light quartz worktops. The comprehensively fitted kitchen incorporates integral appliances to include Siemens fan oven with grill and warming drawer, induction hob and dishwasher. There is ample wine storage and space for an American style fridge/freezer. The generous proportions offer an easy flow from the dining area and the sitting room into the garden. The boot room has ample storage with access out to the side of the property.

The first floor landing has a glazed gallery above the hallway and built in storage cupboards.

The principal bedroom suite has one wall of fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room with walk in cubicle, hand basin, WC, storage cupboard and heated towel rail.

There are three more generous bedrooms each with fitted storage cupboards and served by the family bathroom. The bathroom has a shower above the bath with glass screen, WC, basin, built in storage and heated towel rail.
