Situated in a highly sought-after road, in the centre of Burley
village, lies this charming semi-detached, two-bedroom cottage.
Hollyhocks benefits from a delightful wrap around garden, which has
been beautifully maintained as well as a private off-road parking
area with space for two vehicles. Located ideally within walking
distance of the village amenities and just a short walk from the
open forest.
THE SITUATION
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
The rear storm porch gives access into the impressive
dininggarden room, which has been recently added, to provide a
wonderful space featuring exposed beams, bi-folding doors leading
out to the garden and Velux windows, allowing for an abundance of
natural light. There is also a generous cupboard space providing
additional storage, as well as a generous storage cupboard in the
porch area.
Leading into the kitchenbreakfast room, which is fully fitted
with base level units, oven, gas hob, built-in under counter fridge
and separate freezer as well as a built-in breakfast bar. The
kitchen is cleverly designed, with a void which is open to the
dininggarden room, ideal for entertaining family or guests, yet
still giving the feeling of separate rooms. The kitchen benefits
from views over the front aspect.
Adjoining the kitchen is a cosy sitting room which incorporates
a feature fireplace with an open fire and also enjoys double aspect
views over the front and side garden.
Further to this is an additional side entrance and a downstairs
hallway with a staircase leading to the first floor and a utility
roomWC comprising a low-level WC, storage cupboards, sink and both
space and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer.
To the first floor, there are two good-sized bedrooms, both of
which enjoy front aspect views and built-in cupboard space. Both
rooms are serviced by the family bathroom which comprises a fitted
bath, separate shower cubicle, hand wash basin and low-level
WC.
GROUNDS & GARDENS
Access can be gained from two very quiet lanes, both of which
are within easy walking distance of the village amenities. From
Esdaile Lane, the property is entered through a metal pedestrian
gate, giving access to the front garden which is mainly laid to
lawn and is bordered by mature hedge row, creating an element of
privacy. The property is abutted by flower beds, filled with mature
plants and shrubs. A paved pathway leads to the side entrance porch
and a further area of garden, which wraps around to the rear of the
property.
Approaching from Garden Road, there is a private off-road
parking area allowing for two vehicles and a pedestrian gate which
leads into the rear garden and porch.
There is a paved terraced area positioned alongside the
bi-folding doors, providing an ideal place for alfresco dining. The
remainder of the rear garden is mainly laid to lawn, with the added
benefit of an enclosed sitting area which is surrounded by
colourful planting.
