6 bedroom house

A spacious, versatile 4 - 6 bedroom period barn conversion featuring a self-contained annexe in grounds of approximately 2.8 acres set in the very heart of the sought after New Forest village of Woodgreen.

Crofters is a superb converted and extended former barn, originally serving neighbouring Barns Farm, that provides spacious and adaptable accommodation extending to approximately 4,000 sq. ft. The original barn conversion has been extended on two occasions in the early 1990s, enlarging the ground floor living accommodation and creating a single storey extension that could serve as an annexe for those seeking multi generational living or simply be incorporated to meet the needs of extended family life. The principal accommodation is laid out over two floors with two large reception rooms either side of a generous kitchen/dining room, all stemming from a welcoming entrance hall, whilst a pair of staircases serve four bedrooms on the upper floor. The heritage of the original barn is retained with several rooms featuring exposed original timbers, which are especially prominent in the main bedroom. Crofters sits in approximately 2.8 acres of garden and two separate paddocks, one with independent access onto Hale Road, and there is an array of useful outbuildings within the grounds, including stables, a double garage, work shop and outdoor 'bar'/entertaining area.

Woodgreen is a thriving village on the North West boundary of the New Forest National Park, with much of the village itself and immediate surrounding area designated as a Conservation Area. The property is prominently positioned in the centre of the village which is well served by a number of facilities, including a superb community run Post Office/shop, public house and village hall, all within walking distance. A traditional village green, Woodgreen Common, is home not only to the local cricket team but also the ponies, cattle and donkeys that so freely roam the New Forest. The forest offers many miles of unspoiled heath, moor and woodland, making an ideal location for those who enjoy walking, riding, cycling and other outdoor pursuits. The Avonside town of Fordingbridge and the Cathedral City of Salisbury between them have comprehensive facilities for all day to day needs including reputable schools within the state and private sectors and both are within 10 miles.

Communications in the area are excellent. The B3078 from Godshill supplies a convenient link with the M27 at Junction 1 for Southampton, the M3 and London beyond. The A338 passes through the Avon Valley and provides commutable access to Salisbury, Bournemouth and Poole. There are international airports at Southampton and Bournemouth and mainline stations to London (Waterloo) from Salisbury and Southampton Parkway.

A pair of wooden gates open to a gravel driveway that runs alongside and beyond the house, leading to a generous parking and turning area. Access to a detached DOUBLE GARAGE (6.2m max. x 6m) with sliding wooden doors, power and light connected and WORKSHOP area (3m x 2.97m). A personal door from the garage opens to a covered, open-sided 'bar'/entertaining area equipped with light and power. Pedestrian access from the driveway leads to an attractive courtyard entrance way, alongside which is a former APPLE HOUSE (3.66m x 2.9m) now used for storage purposes.

The principal garden is located to the rear of the house and is mostly laid to lawn interspersed by a selection of mature trees. Steps lead down from the lawn to a generous paved terrace running the full length of the house, which can be accessed from a number of rooms within. Located in the garden is a STABLE BLOCK comprising 2 loose boxes (each 3.66m x 2.5m), a GARDEN STORE (7.7m x 2.74m) and WOOD STORE (7.62m x 2.82m).

The land lies to the east and south of the house and is currently divided into 2 fenced paddocks with access points from the garden, driveway and the Hale Road.
