5 bedroom house

A modern 5 bedroom barn style family home offering approximately 2,600 sq. ft. of light and spacious accommodation, well positioned within a select private enclave on the edge of the village with a delightful landscaped garden.

Forest Edge is an exclusive development comprising 1 detached farm style house and 4 barn style houses completed approximately 15 years ago. No. 2 sits to the front of Forest Edge and as such is blessed with a lovely outlook over neighbouring countryside to the front. The well planned, light and spacious accommodation opens from a vaulted central entrance hall with full height windows, which leads to the superb kitchen/breakfast room, separate dining and sitting rooms as well as a study, ideal for those seeking work-from-home space. The first floor is equally well balanced, with excellent master and guest suites complemented by three further bedrooms, all of double proportion. Externally, there is a beautifully landscaped, south-facing garden as well as a double garage and the plot in total extends to approximately 0.24 acre.

Forest Edge is located in a peaceful position on the very edge of the popular Avon Valley village of Downton, a short distance from the New Forest National Park boundary and the well regarded village of Woodgreen. The centre of Downton is approximately 3/4 mile away and offers a good range of local amenities, including local shops, a cafe, reputable schooling at primary and secondary levels, a doctors' surgery, leisure centre and selection of public houses. The Cathedral City of Salisbury lies approximately 8 miles to the North, whilst the A338 provides convenient access to Bournemouth; the B3078 crosses the forest to provide an excellent link to Junction 1 of the M27 at Cadnam for Southampton. There are mainline rail services to London (Waterloo) at all three and international airports at Bournemouth and Southampton. The outdoor enthusiast is blessed by the proximity of the New Forest, which offers thousands of acres of moor, heath and woodland in which to enjoy walking, riding and cycling.

To the front of the house there is parking for two cars with access to the integral DOUBLE GARAGE with double wooden doors and power and light connected. There is a gated side access leading to the useful covered passage linking the front to the rear.

The decorative front garden is laid to lawn with an adjoining gravelled display area and pathway leading to the front door.

The delightful formal garden is located to the rear of the house and is an undoubted highlight. Enjoying a sunny southerly orientation and immediately adjoining the rear of the house is a generous paved terrace, ideal for al-fresco dining and entertaining. Beyond the terrace is a well-manicured central lawn area with well stocked, colourful herbaceous beds and borders and a contoured path circling the perimeter, leading to several seating areas including a pretty deck with pergola.
