Old Weir View presents a rare and superb opportunity to purchase a wonderful home with grounds just under half an acre all set just within the highly sought after New Forest with Riparian ownership of 350 feet of The River Avon with fishing rights. The setting could not be more bucolic.

This glorious home offers its new owners immaculately presented and versatile accommodation throughout with all the principal reception room all boast stunning views across the formal grounds to the river and meadows beyond. The property has been subject to a comprehensive schedule of renovation, both to the home itself and the grounds beyond during our vendors ownership.

The property itself has been designed to utilise the space available with the majority of the ground floor accommodation being designed to face the gardens allowing an abundance of natural light to flood the rooms creating a light and airy ambiance throughout whilst offering views across the Avon and countryside beyond. The spacious ground floor accommodation comprises an entrance porch leading on to the entrance hall with a cloakroom, the ‘heart of the home’ kitchen is fitted with a range of bespoke wall and floor units with marble worktops and a handsome window presenting views across the gardens and river. Adjacent to the kitchen is a useful boot room/utility room and pantry, and off here, a door leads to the snug/fourth bedroom which has wall to wall glass doors leading onto the terrace. The main formal reception rooms lead from the main hallway and include a good-sized study, again with views across the gardens and river. The real 'wow' factor comes from the beautiful triple aspect open plan sitting room and dining room and is a truly delightful room. The room is fitted with an array of windows and doors leading out onto the terrace, and literally everywhere you look, is either onto the formal grounds, river or water meadows. A staircase leads to the first floor with a galleried landing with a master bedroom and stunning en-suite bathroom, with two further good sized bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom.
