Moorhill Cottage lies about ½ a mile from the centre of, 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 the nine-hole course at Burley only a short walk from the property. The village of Brockenhurst is close by 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 both easily accessible.

A solid timber front door leads to welcoming reception hall with a staircase ascending to first floor. Upon entry, to the left lies the sitting room which has a window to the front and a feature brick fireplace with a wooden mantle and fitted bookshelves to each side. Sliding doors lead through to the light and airy sun room further benefiting from double French style doors that open out onto the terrace overlooking the gardens to the side of the property.

To the right sits the kitchendining room with windows to front, side and rear providing an abundance of natural light. Having recently been refurbished to a high specification this room offers contemporary living with a characterful charm. The kitchen offers a range of full height cupboards and low-level kitchen units, a solid oak topped island, and an original AGA. The dining space benefits from cleverly designed fitted benches creating a wonderful social dining space. To the far side, a door leads to the side porch providing access to the driveway door. Further to the ground floor, there is a dual aspect snug and cloakroom with low level WC, wash hand basin and under stairs storage cupboard.

Stairs ascend to the first floor where an impressive triple aspect master bedroom benefits from double French doors, leading onto the balcony affording stunning views over the gardens.

There are two further bedrooms to this level and the family bathroom, featuring a free standing bath, vanity sink unit and shower with separate WC across the landing.

The property is approached over a cattle grid, leading into the driveway with ample space for parking and a timber-built double garage. N.B.
