Situation
The property is ideally located, being within a short walk of Lyndhurst Village Centre, Saint Michaels School and local shops and amenities.
Lyndhurst, situated in the heart of the New Forest National Park, provides an excellent range of amenities and facilities including a range of boutique shops and everyday stores, public houses, restaurants, hotels and a well-regarded primary school.
Southampton, by road, is about 8 1/2 miles distant and there are mainline rail services available at Brockenhurst and Ashurst, both approximately 4 miles away, with Brockenhurst also offering an excellent sixth form college.
The M27 at Cadnam is within approximately 4 miles, giving access to Portsmouth and Bournemouth via the M27 and Winchester and London via the M3.
The Property
The property has been extended and improved to a high standard by the present owners to provide ample living and bedroom accommodation befitting the requirements of a modern day family.
A welcoming entrance hall provides access to the main living areas, as well as a cloakroom and a stairwell ascending to the first floor landing.
The 22’ triple aspect sitting room offers an excellent sense of space and light, with a feature ‘Jotul’ gas woodburning stove and double doors opening out to the rear garden.
Also accessed from the hallway is a study and occasional bedroom, which could also be used as an additional family room. The entrance hallway, sitting room and study also feature Maple wood flooring.
The kitchen is fitted to three sides with a range of modern storage units and features tiled flooring and both granite worksurfaces and built-in appliances. The kitchen is open to a superb, double aspect conservatory, which links the two rooms together and creates an ideal dining area from where to enjoy views across the garden. From here, double doors also open out onto the terrace.
From the conservatory, a door leads through to a fantastic workshop offering options for multiple uses. The workshop extends the full depth of the property and features a separate front access door, as well as a door to the rear opening out onto the garden. The space could also be converted back into a garage if required.
To the first floor, the magnificent principal and guest bedrooms are set either side of the property, with both featuring an extensive range of built-in wardrobes/storage cupboards and modern en-suite shower rooms.
There are two further double bedrooms to this level, both of which are served by a modern family bathroom. The landing features useful study area overlooking the lovely rear garden. The landing area also provides access via a hatch to the boarded loft.
Nb. The owners have previously obtained planning permission to extend the ground floor to provide a large open plan kitchen/family room/dining room. These plans have since lapsed but could be reapplied for. Also, a new roof with clay tiles was fitted in 2009.
Grounds & Gardens
Set to the front of the property is an extensive area of paved driveway providing off road parking facilities for multiple vehicles.
Side access from here leads to the stunning rear garden, which is a particular feature of this wonderful home. The rear garden offers a large expanse of level lawn surrounded by beautifully planted beds and borders and established trees to the rear, including a truly wonderful specimen London Plane Tree. Set towards the back of the plot is a delightful wooden chalet/summer house with light and power and a decked seating area.
In total, the grounds attributed to the property extend to almost a quarter of an acre.
