EPR - TBC

The house occupies a glorious position and enjoys expansive open south-westerly views across the open heathland of the New Forest. Set well back from the road the house is perfectly situated to enjoy open walks and cycle rides across the adjacent Forest while also being only four miles from the market town of Lymington. There is a nearby well regarded Pub in the village (The Turfcutters) as well as a village shop ideal for everyday necessities. There are excellent marinas, sailing clubs and facilities at both Lymington and Bucklers Hard while Brockenhurst station (7 miles) provides direct rail services to London Waterloo in approximately 2 hours.

The house combines very cleverly extended and beautifully presented accommodation to provide comfortable space over two floors. Completely overhauled by the current owners between 2015 and 2017, all the principal rooms have south west facing aspects enjoying views of both the gardens and open forest beyond.

The front door opens to an attractive entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor. There is an extremely impressive sitting room , one elevation of which features a glazed ceiling light covering its entire length flooding the room with natural light. Two sets of wide bi-fold doors provide direct access to the garden and there is an attractive chimney breast containing an open hearth for wood fires. Next door to the sitting room is a separate dining room and there is also a large study. The kitchen / dining room is a particularly appealing room with French windows opening onto a south west facing dining terrace overlooking the garden. The kitchen itself is modern with a range of fitted cupboards and integrated appliances as well as a breakfast bar forming a clever divide between the kitchen and the dining area. The dining area features a large brick chimney breast and has space for a generous dining table. Off this room is a utility room with a back door, work surface with fitted cupboards as well as space and plumbing for a washing machine, tumble dryer and fridge / freezer. Lastly, there is a ground floor WC.

On the first floor, a central landing provides access to the bedrooms all of which are generously proportioned and enjoy direct Forest views. The master bedroom is dual aspect with outstanding far reaching views that are entirely unspoilt. The bedroom features an original tiled fireplace as well as a door to a dressing room with built in wardrobes beyond which lies an en-suite shower room. The guest bedroom lies at the other end of the house and also features built in wardrobes and an en suite shower room. 

There are two further double bedrooms, both featuring original fireplaces and a further beautifully presented family bathroom.

The house is approached over a gravel drive through a five bar gate which leads to ample parking adjacent to the house and garage. To the north west of the house are two impressive outbuildings. The first extends over two floors and offers two large rooms on the ground floor with plastered and painted walls, tiled floors as well as light and power. These rooms were originally used as additional garaging and now make ideal extra space for offices, a gym, workshop or studio. There is a wc on the ground floor and stairs rise to a first floor room, again fully plastered and with power and light. The second outbuilding is a superb detached double garage with twin up and over doors.

The gardens extend around the house with a glorious south westerly aspect guaranteeing direct sunshine throughout the day. The gardens are mostly laid to level lawn with several mature specimen trees and beautifully planted flowering borders stocked with roses and azaleas.
