The property is approached over a graveled drive that leads to a detached garage/workshop and a parking area. Adjoining the rear of the property is a good size paved sun terrace linking directly to the main area of garden. The garden, which is mainly laid to lawn enjoys a delightful southerly aspect and offers a high degree of privacy with beautifully maintained beds and borders.

Set within the curtilage is an attractive well and a recently constructed summer house which benefits from power-lighting. Further areas of paving provide access around the property with an additional seating terrace and a stocked raised bed abutting the front boundary.

The property is located in a rarely available and highly sought after location at the head of a private no through lane. The open forest is accessed via a footpath leading down into North Weirs or at the start of the lane, where the forest lies opposite.

The village offers a mainline railway station with direct links to London Waterloo in approximately 90 minutes and a good local community of shops and restaurants.

The Georgian coastal town of Lymington is only 4 miles to the south with its famous Saturday country market, extensive yachting facilities and ferry service to the Isle of Wight. To the north is the village of Lyndhurst and Junction 1 of the M27 motorway which links to the M3, giving access to London.

An oak framed open porch leads to the lobby with an area of fitted storage for coats and boots. In turn the hallway is where the turning staircase leads to the first and second floor accommodation.

The main sitting room is delightful with oak ceiling beams and a triple aspect with glazed double doors to the south facing garden. A focal point is the beautiful Bath Stone fireplace fitted with log burning stove. There is a family “snug” room with connecting shower room currently used as the music study.
