5 bedroom house

A pretty cottage style property set in the sought after forest location of Sandy Down. The property offers accommodation extending to over 2800 sqft set in a lovely wooded plot of approximately 0.7 acres and enjoying views across Royden Woods and paddocks to the rear.

The property is situated in a wonderfully private location in the beautiful New Forest and lies approximately halfway between Brockenhurst and Lymington. Boldre is situated within both a conservation area and the New Forest National Park.

The delightful Georgian market town of Lymington, known for its excellent sailing facilities, Saturday market, and range of quality shops and restaurants, is approximately two miles to the south.

The neighbouring New Forest village of Brockenhurst benefits a selection of shops and restaurants, a highly regarded college, 18 hole Championship Golf Club and a mainline station with direct access to London Waterloo (approximately 90 minutes).

Available for the first time in over 25 years, the property offers deceptively spacious accommodation but has scope to further develop and extend subject to the usual planning requirements of the National Park.

The main entrance leads into an entrance porch and 15’ reception hall which features an open fireplace and stairs leading up to the first floor. The reception hall opens into a dining area which features another fireplace and access into the conservatory which overlooks the rear garden. The dual aspect sitting room is also set off the dining room and benefits from another fireplace and character beams inset into the ceiling.

Set to the other side of the reception hall is an ensuite bedroom/study accessed via an inner lobby with downstairs WC and built in cloaks storage.

The kitchen/breakfast room is situated at the rear of the property overlooking the garden and is fitted with an extensive range of oak units with complimentary worksurfaces and tiling to the splashbacks. There is ample space in the centre of the room for table and chairs. Integrated appliances include a large Aga with secondary cooking facilities which include an electric hob and double oven. A walk in pantry completes the arrangement. A rear lobby is set off the kitchen with access to the rear garden and through to a utility area.

The first floor landing provides access to all four bedrooms, family bathroom, separate WC and airing cupboard.

An impressive principle bedroom offers a large dressing room and a refitted ensuite shower with walk in double shower. The dressing room is fitted with an extensive range of fitted wardrobes and leads through to a dual aspect 17’ bedroom.

There are three further double bedrooms on this floor, all with views over the gardens and with built in storage.

The property is approached via a five bar gate with separate pedestrian gate which opens onto a sweeping gravel driveway leading up the attached garage and main entrance.

The garden plot extends to approx. 0.7 acres wrapping around the property with a mixture of lawned areas, mature shrubs and cottage garden planting. There is an array of mature trees including a number of attractive ornamental trees providing privacy and screening. A small interspersed path leads down to the rear terrace and seating area which overlooks paddocks and Royden Woods which are set immediately adjacent to the garden.

Immediately to the rear of the property a further terraced area leads to a large greenhouse and outbuilding.
