Description A picturesque Grade II Listed thatched farmhouse of great character, together with a superb range of outbuildings, stabling and garaging. This period residence also boasts exceptional formal gardens incorporating a number of ornamental ponds, an outdoor heated swimming pool, all weather ménage and paddocks extending in total to almost five acres. The property is arranged over two floors and offers just over 3,400 sq ft of living accommodation. The ground floor comprises an imposing entrance hall providing access to all the principle rooms, which include a vaulted drawing room and dining room divided by a magnificent Inglenook fireplace and chimney, as well as a double aspect sitting room with feature fireplace and wood burning stove. Further rooms to this level include the fitted kitchen/breakfast room with both double Aga and conventional oven, adjoining utility room, bedroom four, bedroom five, bathroom and shower room. The first floor has a similar characterful feel. The double aspect master bedroom has windows to front and rear, a range of fitted wardrobes, and an en-suite bathroom, which has been refitted in an attractive period style. A decked balcony giving elevated views over the grounds adjoins the second bedroom which also has fitted wardrobes. The third bedroom has a walk-in dressing room and there is also a family shower room. Situation The cottage is situated just outside the centre of Burley, a pretty village which is surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside in the New Forest National Park, its ancient forests and heathlands offering numerous bridleways and paths for walkers and cyclists. Burley itself has excellent facilities including a Post Office, boutique shops, and several pubs, as well as a picturesque golf club with other local
courses at Brockenhurst and Lyndhurst. There is a well regarded primary school in the village and the area is well served by excellent private schools which include Hordle Walhampton in Lymington, Forres Sandle Manor and Moyles Court near Ringwood, and Durlston Court and Ballard School near New Milton. The property is well placed for access to the south coast and some of the best beaches in the country, in addition to the world renowned sailing available in The Solent. Despite its private location the property is not remote or isolated: the market town of Ringwood is within five miles whilst the A31 (2 miles) links with the M27 and M3 for access to Bournemouth, Southampton, and London; the pretty Georgian town of Lymington has a regular ferry service to the Isle of Wight. The property is easily accessible to the airports at Southampton (21 miles) and Bournemouth (12.5 miles), both of which offer a wide range of daily services to local and European destinations. Outside The property sits at the head of impressive grounds that extend to just under five acres in total. To the rear is a private garden with sun terrace, large fish pond and immaculate lawn bordered by mature trees and shrubs for total privacy. Paved paths meander to the manicured lawn in front of the house with ornate paths leading down to a large ornamental pond situated to the front of the property. To the side is the outdoor heated swimming pool with paved terrace and timber summerhouse which houses the heating and filtration equipment. The house is approached via a long sweeping drive, flanked by three post-and-rail paddocks each of which is around one acre in size. There is an all weather ménage which is accessed off the drive but can also be conveniently reached via a right of way via a separate drive from Ringwood Road. Wrought iron gates with a video entry system give access to the gravel drive with parking and turning area in front of the house, which can also be reached through an additional drive and double gates off Burley Street. There is a detached triple garage offering potential for ancillary living accommodation (subject to planning, which the owner has applied for), separate garden store, a large triple carport, and two kennels. The American style barn is particularly impressive as it contains seven stables, tack room, two stores, a gymnasium, and studio/office ideal for working from home. Directions Heading out of London, take the M3 towards Southampton and at Junction 14 take the exit for the M27 West (to the New Forest and Bournemouth). Continue along the A31 towards Ringwood, turning left at Picket Post Services towards Burley. On entering Burley Street take the first turning on your left into Forest Road. The entrance to the property is about 300 yards along on your right over a small bridge and cattle grid.
