Amberley is a particularly light and bright 4-bedroom detached home which was built in 2001 and sits very well within its mature plot that extends to approximately 2.3 acres. The majority of the principal rooms enjoy attractive views over the more formal garden that in turn leads into a naturalised, lightly wooded dell. The property originally incorporated a quality specification which has been updated to a very high standard in more recent years. Benefits include oil fired central heating with an external boiler, double glazed windows and doors, panelled internal doors and the house is tastefully decorated and presented throughout. A triple garage was constructed to the rear of the property and subsequently converted into a double garage with the third garage space facilitating entrance and staircase to a gym/office/store over the whole (see floor plan).

A derivative from the Old English word 'halh' - meaning corner or nook - Hale certainly lives up to its name, being located in the uppermost Western corner of the New Forest, within the Western Escarpement Conservation Area of the New Forest National Park. The village itself has a thriving, well respected primary school, whilst the neighbouring village of Woodgreen has a further range of amenities extending to a Post Office and community run village shop, public house and Village Hall. The Avonside town of Fordingbridge (about 4 miles) has a range of services sufficient to cater for most everyday needs, including shops, excellent primary and secondary schools and sports facilities.

Communications in the area are good and the regional centres of Salisbury, Bournemouth and Southampton are all within convenient driving distance. All can offer mainline rail services to London Waterloo and there are international airports at the latter two.

For the outdoor enthusiast the open heathland and forest of Hale Purlieu National Trust Common is quite literally on the doorstep, its thousands of acres of heath and wood land providing glorious walking, riding and cycling country. There are reputable golf courses at Bramshaw, Hamptworth and Salisbury and water sports opportunities in abundance on the south coast.

From Hale Purlieu a long, sweeping shingle drive leads through the trees to alongside the house where there is ample parking and turning space for a number and variety of vehicles, continuing to the DETACHED GARAGE.

GARAGE/OUTBUILDING
The original triple garage has been converted into a double garage with twin up and over doors (one with remote control). The third garage provides the footprint for a store housing the oil fired boiler for the underfloor heating to the room above. An entrance lobby leads to a ground floor SHOWER ROOM with stairs rising to a first floor room that could be used as an OFFICE/STORE/GYM.

The well stocked gardens and grounds have been landscaped following the natural contours of the plot to include lawns, flower/shrub borders, containing a variety of mature and specimen trees along with a variety of established rhododendrons, camelias and azaleas. Beyond the upper section of garden a tree lined pathway leads into a 'dell' that is lightly wooded and enjoyed for its natural beauty. The whole plot is deer fenced along with a cattle grid entrance.
