Oakley Gate lies about three quarters of a mile from 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 nearby Burley and 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.

Upon entering the property with the staircase in front of you, there is a sitting room to your left with large window to the front and open fireplace. On the other side of the entrance hallway is another large reception room, currently utilised as a dining room, again with open fireplace and window with front aspect. To the rear of the property is the kitchen with a rear door leading outside and space for a breakfast table. The kitchen has been newly fitted with Shaker style modern units with wood effect worktops over. Integrated appliances include an electric oven with gas ring hob over, a one and half sink and there is further space for a dishwasher, washing machine and freestanding Fridge/freezer. A large boot room/utility sits aside the kitchen and leads to a ground floor WC.

Rising to the first floor there is a large family bathroom comprising both a bath with handheld shower over as well as a separate shower cubicle. Steps rise again to the landing where both bedrooms are accessed. Both bedrooms are generous doubles with front aspect views over the gardens.

Living in Burley

The first Spencers New Forest office was established here in Burley, a honeypot village that feels untouched by time with its traditional cafes, cider farm, gift shops and tales of old smuggling routes, witches and dragons.

This is the New Forest on holiday as imagined by visitors: quaint and old-fashioned with ponies wandering down the high street. In Burley there’s a perpetual feeling of having escaped, that you are away from it all, especially as it is tucked in the lee of wooded slopes.

In fact Burley has easy access to the A31 (across heathland with spectacular views) and routes west to Bournemouth and east to Southampton, while the mainline station at Brockenhurst is only a short drive away across the Forest.

There’s a lovely sense of community in Burley and it is noticeable that once people move here many are reluctant to move out of the area. A range of activities to enjoy locally includes cycling, horse riding, coarse fishing and Burley Golf Club with a nine-hole heathland course.

The property market is dominated by picturesque thatched cottages and large country homes that feel discreetly hidden away, many with access to open Forest.
