Description

A beautiful detached country house, set in approximately three acres of stunning, bluebell-lined woodland with open lawns, tennis court, and a modern timber garage complex.

The property is ideally located in a completely private and peaceful location, just a stone’s throw from the open forest in Shirley Holms and within close proximity of the coastal town of Lymington and New Forest villages, Sway and Brockenhurst.

The property is situated on the outskirts of Boldre village, within a short drive of both Lymington and Brockenhurst. The village of Brockenhurst lies to the north and benefits from a mainline station with direct access to London Waterloo and an extensive range of local shops, restaurants, a primary school, a popular tertiary college and the renowned Brockenhurst Golf Club.

The Georgian market town of Lymington lies to the south with its extensive yachting facilities, Saturday market and a ferry service to Yarmouth, Isle of Wight. The area boasts a number of well regarded primary and secondary schools including St Luke's C of E primary, William Gilpin and the popular Priestlands schools. There are also a number of noteworthy independent schools including Walhampton, Ballards and Durlston. The New Forest National Park offers outstanding natural beauty and extensive walking and horse riding opportunities.

This characterful five bedroom home combines the charm of original cob construction with traditional brick-built elevations and offers well-proportioned accommodation throughout.

Features include a welcoming entrance hall with standalone wood-burning stove and a cloakroom/WC, a delightful open-plan farmhouse-style kitchen with Belfast sink, integrated appliances including double ovens with gas hob over, dishwasher and full height fridge freezer and a clearly defined dining area with built-in cupboards and double doors opening onto the terrace.

Additional ground floor rooms include a dual-aspect snug, a boot room, and separate utility room.

Forming part of the original cottage, the formal dining room, centred around a feature fireplace, opens into a bright and spacious dual-aspect sitting room with a charming box bay window and a further open fireplace. A ground-floor guest suite offers a dual-aspect double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a stylish Fired Earth en suite wet room.

Upstairs, the landing provides space for a home office area and gives access to three double bedrooms enjoying delightful garden views, all served by a family bathroom.

The impressive principal suite features a dual-aspect bedroom, a walk-through dressing room, and a vibrant Fired Earth en suite bathroom.

Outside, the stunning south-facing rear gardens include a sunny terrace and lawn framed by mature shrubs and trees. To the front, a sweeping driveway leads to the substantial timber garage complex with EV charging point, open lawn areas with flowerbed borders, and a tennis court nestled within enchanting bluebell and daffodil-carpeted woodland.
