- Description
The property is centrally located in, 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 easily accessible.
The property is approached through beautifully established grounds extending in total to approximately 6.1 acres, offering an exceptional sense of space, privacy and connection to the surrounding landscape. At the heart of the grounds lies a charming walled garden, rich in character and providing a wonderfully secluded setting with enormous potential for formal planting, kitchen gardens or landscaped entertaining areas. Beyond, three adjoining paddocks gently extend the grounds, creating an idyllic environment ideally suited to equestrian pursuits, grazing or simply enjoying the tranquillity and natural beauty of this remarkable New Forest setting.

An imposing and characterful six bedroom country residence occupying a truly exceptional position within the heart of the New Forest National Park, enjoying uninterrupted views across the open forest and set within beautifully established walled gardens and grounds extending to approximately 6.1 acres, including three adjoining paddocks.
Believed to date from the turn of the last century, the property offers an extraordinary opportunity to acquire one of the area’s most distinguished homes.
The extensive accommodation extends across two floors and is served by two separate staircases, reflecting the grandeur and practicality of a bygone era.
Arranged around five elegant reception rooms, the house also retains a wealth of original service areas including back-to-back kitchens, utility rooms and a cellar, once dedicated to domestic staff.
While the property would benefit from comprehensive modernisation, this equally presents a rare opportunity to sensitively restore and reimagine a home of immense charm and provenance, creating a magnificent family residence perfectly suited to contemporary living.
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.
