A wonderful opportunity to embrace New Forest living at its very
finest with direct access to the open forest, commoners rights and
easy access to the nearby village of Burley. The property is set at
the end of a no through lane and comprises a beautiful, double
fronted semi-detached cottage with separate ancillary
accommodation, heated swimming pool and grounds extending to
approximately one quarter of an acre.
THE PROPERTY
Believed to date back to 1845, Sunnydell Cottage is a lovely
forest home that has been sympathetically extended and refurbished.
The major portion of the cottage is of a visually appealing cob
construction, with a more recent and modern extension to the
side.
The property is accessed from an attractive, covered porch with
adjoining log store which opens into a useful utility roomboot room
ideal for muddy children and dogs alike. Internally, the property
offers a lovely, cosy ambience combining all the character and
charm of a quintessentially English cottage with the benefits of a
superb and sympathetic family space.
The cottage centres around a lovely sitting room with an
enticing Inglenook brick fireplace and woodburning stove providing
an alluring draw for hunkering down on those long winter nights.
The impressive extension to the side of the cottage blends
elegantly with the original cottage, offering a wonderful day space
where the family can congregate, cook, eat and live together.
The bedroom accommodation is again befitting the warm, homely
feel of a country cottage with two inviting bedrooms to the first
floor and a superb main bedroom offering all the comforts hoped
for, with built-in storage, en-suite facilities and double doors
opening out onto the beautiful terrace for breakfast. A ground
floor family bathroom serves the remaining first floor
bedrooms.
ANCILLARY ACCOMMODATION
Offering an incredible benefit to the main cottage is the
fantastically appointed additional accom- modation formed from the
substantial, detached outbuilding at the front of the plot.
This superb ‘L‘ shaped structure has been built to an exacting
specification by well-regarded builders, Prime Oak and offers
options for a number of uses, including that of ancillary
accommodation or officegym space.
For those looking to escape the rat race, the spaces can easily
be utilised as multiple home offices, offering an extremely
pleasant environment in which to ‘work from home‘. Alternatively,
if you need extra space to accommodate guests, then the spaces can
be adapted to suit, with the benefit of three existing shower
rooms. This could suit those looking for that rare commodity of a
beautiful family home with the ability to accommodate visiting
family members separately.
Adjoining the far end of the outbuilding is a delightful pool
area with heated swimming pool and picket fence surrounds. This
area lends itself superbly to the recreational feel of the
property, providing a fun and entertaining space for children and
guests alike.
GROUNDS & GARDENS
An electric five bar wooden gate and pedestrian gate open onto
the attractive grounds and a gravel driveway providing off road
parking for up to two vehicles. The grounds sit between the
property and the outbuilding and are predominantly laid to level
lawn offering a safe and ideal environment for children to play.
Planted beds to the side of the lawns add to the visual appeal.
The heated swimming pool set within a fenced surround acts only
to enhance the recreational feel of the property, whilst at the
other end of the garden and in addition to the driveway, a gate
leads straight out onto the open forest forming an amazing extended
garden where dens can be built and secret alcoves explored.
In total, the glorious grounds associated with the property
extend to approximately one quarter of an acre.
