Flinders lies within a few miles of the centre of, arguably, one of the most beautiful and sought after villages in The New Forest, ideally situated to make full use of all the wonderful facilities the Forest has to offer. Whether it be sailing at nearby Lymington (12 miles) or golf at one of the many courses in the area including Brockenhurst with its mainline railway station (8 miles, Waterloo 90 mins.) The market town of Ringwood is but a short drive away (5 miles). The larger shopping towns of Southampton (20 miles) to the east and Bournemouth (16 miles) to the west, both with their airports are both easily accessible.
Covered storm porch leads to solid timber front door and in turn to the kitchen breakfast room with windows to front and rear, large larder cupboard , range of low and high level units with built-in cooker and electric hob with extractor over, oil fired Aga, stainless steel sink unit, space and plumbing for washing machine, built-in dishwasher and space for American style fridge freezer. Stable style door leads through to the study with staircase to first floor with understairs cupboard and windows to front and rear and a brick built fireplace. A further door leads through to the sitting room with rounded bay to the front and window, door to rear terrace and garden and a brick built fireplace housing open fire. A door leads to the garden room/bedroom three with double French style doors leading to terrace and garden, windows to front and rear and a door leading to en-suite shower room with low level WC, pedestal wash hand basin and shower cubicle with a window to the front elevation. The first floor landing has a window to the rear elevation and doors to the master bedroom which has windows to front, rear and side, range of built-in wardrobes and a trap to the roof space. Bedroom two has windows to both front and rear and once again a range of built-in wardrobes. The family bathroom has a stripped wood floor, panelled bath, low level WC, pedestal basin, window to the front and large storage cupboard.
The property has two entrances, one adjacent to the front of the property and a further vehicular access to the far end of the garden. Adjacent to the property is an area of gravelled driveway leading to the double garage, a pedestrian gate leads to a front terrace area with adjoining lawn and hedgerow which leads along the front of the property to a patio area to the side and large expanse of lawn bordered by mature hedgerows. A path leads around to the rear of the property and to a further gravelled area immediately to the rear of the house with raised lawn area affording delightful views across neighbouring farmland. To the rear of the garage is a glazed garden/utility room and to the rear of the garden is a selection of brick built outbuildings with a yard.
Entering through a covered porchway, an impressive solid wood door leads into a welcoming kitchen/diner. This cleverly designed space blends contemporary living with its characterful surroundings and now offers a comprehensively fitted kitchen ideal for modern day living. The striking original AGA is complemented by an induction hob, integrated oven, microwave, dishwasher, wine cooler, walk in pantry as well as ample cupboard space. Space to the rear of the room houses a large dining room table where views over the garden are enjoyed. An internal door into the garage provides access to the utility area where there’s further cupboard space, sink, space for another fridge/freezer and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble drier as well as a roof ladder for further storage.
Passing the stairs, a versatile area currently used as a hallway with feature fireplace leads through into the principal reception room. This large, double aspect sitting room with bay window benefits from a Clearview log burner ideal for the colder months whilst a patio door offers rear access for the warmer summer days. At the end of the room, steps lead up into a generous sized room (bedroom 3) with patio doors leading out to the terrace and an en-suite to the side comprising WC, sink and shower. The ground floor is completed by another adaptable room that’s currently used as a study but could easily be the fourth bedroom benefiting from the adjacent en-suite shower room.
Stairs ascend to the first floor where an impressive triple aspect master suite benefits from stunning views across neighbouring fields. This principal bedroom is comprehensively fitted with floor to ceiling built in wardrobes creating a dressing area to the end of the room and a stylish en-suite with shower, WC and sink. The first floor is completed by a generous sized second bedroom with built in wardrobes (one housing the boiler) and a family bathroom with panelled bath, WC, sink and further storage cupboards.

The New Forest National Park is just a short drive away, with the stunning Dorset and Hampshire coastline approximately five miles south. Places of interest include Christchurch Harbour, Highcliffe Castle and Mudeford Quay. There are opportunities for watersports and equestrian activities, and a variety of golf courses in stunning coastal and rural settings. The area offers a range of family attractions for days out.
