A bright entrance porch provides useful space for coats and shoe storage and a further glazed door opens into the welcoming entrance hall with engineered oak flooring and solid oak doors and architraves throughout.

The spacious sitting room enjoys dual aspects with French doors to the enclosed rear garden. The stylish kitchen offers a contemporary range of cashmere fronted wall and base units with granite effect work surfaces, upstands and breakfast bar. Extensive storage space is available and a full range of integrated appliances include a dishwasher, fridge freezer, double oven, microwave and induction hob with hood over.

The gas fired Worcestershire boiler is housed in a corner cupboard with additional storage under the stairs. A small conservatory doubles as a utility area and enjoys French doors to the garden.

The first floor landing provides a seating area and serves the three well proportioned bedrooms which all benefit from fitted storage. The fully tiled bathroom comprises a modern white suite with P shaped bath and mixer shower over, WC, wash hand basin and heated towel rail.

The popular village of Bartley is situated within the boundaries of the New Forest National Park offering acres of beautiful countryside to enjoy. A wide range of amenities are close at hand including Bartley junior school, village hall, shop, hairdressers and local pubs. A large superstore is located within three miles with Lyndhurst, Totton and Ashurst nearby providing further amenities. The M27 is less than 3 miles away providing fast road links to London, the South Coast and beyond. Mainline rail links can be found at either Totton or Ashurst with direct services to London Waterloo.

The property is approached over a gated driveway providing ample parking and fronts the attached single garage and extends to the side with gated access through to the enclosed rear garden. This has been landscaped with top soil freshly laid prior to seeding for a new lawn.

An edged patio area abuts the French doors from the sitting room and provides a pleasant seating area.

Living in Minstead

Minstead is a perfect village in miniature. Tucked down a maze of country lanes and surrounded by woodland, it is tranquil and unspoiled, yet surprisingly and accessibly close to junction one of the M27 at Cadnam.

For a small village it punches well above its size in terms of community and history. Overlooking its delightful green is a popular country inn, The Trusty Servant Inn, and a village shop and cafe tea room that serves as a community hub. There’s also a quirky parish church which is the resting place of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes. Nearby are what are thought to be two of the oldest oak trees in the Forest as well as the Rufus Stone, marking the spot where King William II was shot by an arrow.

There’s a busy village hall (the largest in the Forest) which hosts regular antiques and collectors’ markets and the Minstead Players. However, what makes Minstead particularly special are its community-minded organisations including Minstead Study Centre with its sustainability focus and Minstead Training Trust which also runs Furzey Gardens - first planted in 1922 they are ablaze with colour in spring and feature an award-wining garden and ‘fairy doors’ among the trees.
