a beautiful cottage garden, off road parking and a large garage

the village of Lyndhurst.
The village of Brockenhurst (about 4 miles south) has a mainline
rail connection to London Waterloo (journey time approximately 90
minutes).
For the yachtsman, the Georgian market town of Lymington (10
miles) offers a range of sailing facilities and access to the open
waters of the Solent, whilst the historic and much famed village of
Beaulieu is only 7 miles away. The M27 (Junction 1) is some 3 miles
north of the property, connecting through to the M3 for access to
Bournemouth, Southampton and London.
THE PROPERTY
Entering the property through a solid wood front door, a hallway
with WC to the side creates a welcoming feel into the oldest part
of the property, which greatly benefits from high ceilings
throughout. To the left-hand side is the sitting room benefiting
from a dual aspect over the front garden. This room offers scope
for a variety of uses such as a study, snug or fourth bedroom. From
here there is a lovely big diningfamily room which has been opened
up by the current vendors to create a wonderful room. Internal
doors and windows flood the room with natural light from the
adjacent glass panelled breakfast room and a wood burner stove
completes the room.
The kitchenbreakfast room is a striking feature of this
property. The glazed elevation to the rear of the property spans
the width of the room allowing views over the rear garden and
plenty of natural light into the space. The room has been carefully
designed to include a kitchen area in the centre comprehensively
fitted with wooden shaker style units, wooden worktop, Britannia
range cooker with 5 ring gas hob with extractor over, dishwasher
and separate pantry style space for a fridgefreezer. Further
cupboard space wraps around the internal wall to provide a utility
area housing a washing machine, space for tumble drier, boiler,
separate ceramic butler’s sink and a side door leading to the
garage to the side. The extended part of the kitchen room provides
space for a dining room table and offers under floor heating. To
the side, stairs descend into a cellar ideal for further storage
whilst patio doors lead down to the garden where a terraced area
provides an ideal space for alfresco dining.
To the first floor, all the bedrooms are of generous
proportions. The master lies to the front of the property and is
accessed via the stairs ascending from the hallway. This dual
aspect room with panelled ceiling offers a light bright room with
views over the front garden and local church beyond. This bedroom

over, sink and WC. Sharing the bathroom is another good-sized
double with built in wardrobes and an adjoining door to the rear
bedroom. This bedroom enjoys views over the rear garden and further

linking to the kitchen and family room beneath. The first floor is
completed by a spacious dual aspect family bathroom with wooden
panelled walls, Victorian styled plumbing with separate toilet,
