Offered to the market with No Forward Chain - A stunning example
of a quintessential period New Forest home. Recently extended &
refurbished to an exceptional standard with no expense spared by
the current owners. This detached cottage offers four bedrooms,
four bathrooms and stunning ‘lifestyle’ kitchen. A short walk from
arguably the prettiest village in the New Forest and a few hundred
yards away from the open Forest.
Yew Tree Cottage is located in arguably, one of the most
beautiful and sought after villages in The New Forest and within
the National Park. Burley has a local primary school, good local
amenities, pubs, restaurants, a Church, village hall and golf
course. The property is less than a ten-minute walk from the
village centre with even closer access to the open forest and is
ideally situated to make full use of all the wonderful facilities
the New 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 minutes). 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.
A landmark village house dating back to circa 1715 and
referenced in “The Records of Burley”. The south facing property is
set under a thatched roof with a wisteria clad, whitewashed façade.
Belying its age, the cottage has surprisingly large windows and
good ceiling heights. Passing through the enclosed porch, the
bespoke secondary door opens directly into the spacious sitting
room with exposed beams, stone flooring and feature inglenook
fireplace. A cosy living space despite measuring over 26ft in
length.
The dining room is adjacent to the sitting room with double
aspect views, bay window and open fireplace with bio ethanol
insert. At the opposite end of the house, there is a similar sized
room. Offered as a fourth bedroom with bespoke built-in wardrobe
and immediate access to the downstairs shower room, the space works
equally well as a TV or family room.
An outstanding feature of the house is the substantial
‘lifestyle’ kitchen which sits in the heart of the garden to the
rear of the property. A triple aspect room with two sets of French
doors creating an “inside-outside space”. Bespoke, painted,
shaker-style kitchen units surround the room and afford exceptional
storage. A chef’s delight with an induction range cooker set under
an impressive chimney, an additional eye-level oven, two
dishwashers, multiple sinks with waste disposals, a
boilingsparkling tap and plumbed French-door fridgefreezer. Dekton
worksurfaces complete the luxurious space. With entertaining in
mind, a central island seats ten or more people. Set under a large
roof lantern, the kitchen is flooded with natural light.
A small hallway gives access to the downstairs shower room. A
boot room and further scullery with more storage and sink complete
the downstairs.
An oak staircase leads to the first-floor landing where you are
immediately met with a useful TVstudy area. South facing windows
with expansive views give a fantastic feel of space and light. The
wide French oak floorboards and hardwood doors continue the
high-end finish of the refurbishment. The configuration of bedroom
three provides a versatile space, where bifold doors offer the
ability to open up or close off the room depending on one’s use for
the property. Plenty of storage is available in the bespoke fitted
wardrobes and an airing cupboard. The family bathroom is adjacent,
facing the rear of the cottage.
There are bedroom suites at either end of the first floor, each
with a luxury shower room furnished with natural stone, bespoke
units, large walk-in showers and underfloor heating. The guest room
is double aspect with a built-in wardrobe. The principal bedroom is
accessed via the impressive dressing room, the length of which is
furnished with locally handmade wardrobes and drawers.
The property is approached through a pair of electric gates and
separate pedestrian access which open on to a gravel driveway
providing off road parking for several cars. A separate thatched
double garage, with Bluetooth enabled Hormann doors has a boarded
loft & built in cupboards. The front garden comprises a small area
of lawn with mature hedging and rose-beds. A rendered wall
separates the rear garden which is beautifully secluded. Mature
herbaceous borders, flowering shrubs and trees together with an
abundance of David Austin roses create a very colourful, classic
cottage garden. A ‘shabby chic’ summerhouse with hardstand for
potential larger outbuilding (subject to plans) sits in the corner.
The sunken patio stretching the length of the house with wooden
bench surround seating provides another fabulous entertaining area.
Sailshade posts and anchor points, external socket, multiple garden
taps including hot and cold bootdog washing station complete the
outside amenities.
