Ramblers benefits from a picturesque setting on Burley Street’s
village green with some of the New Forest’s loveliest heathland
views a short walk away. It is also close to the amenities of
Burley, a honeypot New Forest village, and yet it is only a couple
of minutes’ drive to Picket Post on the A31. The location is ideal
for those looking for the New Forest lifestyle while requiring easy
access to road networks towards Southampton and London in one
direction and Bournemouth and Poole in the other. The area has a
reputation for good local schools: Burley Primary School is an
idyllic village school which attracts parents to the area while the
bus for Ringwood School runs past Ramblers.
Ramblers is believed to date from the early 18th century and
originally comprised two old workers’ cottages. In the 1920s it
served as the local garage with pumps out the front. It is
considered such an iconic New Forest cottage that it has been
pictured on the National Motor Museum’s annual Christmas card and
was recreated as an ornamental Lilliput Lane cottage - one was
bought (with deeds) before a purchase was completed on Ramblers
itself!
The aim was to sympathetically restore this Grade II listed
cottage, reinstating as much of the original structure and
character as possible – using a photograph of the cottage in 1917
as a guide – while bringing it into the 21st century. This work has
included new windows crafted by a local joiner, bespoke oak
staircase, solid oak floorboards, new central heating system with
new boiler, water tank and radiators, rewiring, and new pumice
lined chimney. The original exposed beams have been blasted back to
their natural oak colour, and a new kitchen/breakfast room and
luxury bathrooms have been installed. The result is a charming
cottage that retains its traditional character while offering the
comforts expected for modern family life.
The house is entered through an attractive thatched entrance
porch with solid oak stable door and Welsh slate flooring. This
opens onto a hallway with an original bread oven. In the oldest
part of the cottage is a study and a sitting room/snug with
original flagstone floor and woodburning stove in an inglenook
fireplace. An old mason’s stone bears the date 1702 and the
original front door comes complete with old oversized key. A
turning staircase leads from this room up to a stunning vaulted
bedroom with built-in wardrobe and basin, together these rooms can
provide the flexibility of partly separate accommodation for a
family member, such as a teenager. A second sitting room or drawing
room features an impressive inglenook fireplace with woodburning
stove. It is thought that the fireplace’s oak beam was taken from
an old warship: the holes where the ship’s framework would have
fitted are still evident. This room leads to the dining room where
the exposed beams have been painted a stylish muted white. Beyond
this is the extended kitchen/breakfast room with vaulted ceiling
incorporating a New Forest oak beam, flagstone flooring with
underfloor heating, comprehensive range of kitchen furniture with
island unit and granite worktop, Rangemaster stove with copper
glass splashback, and double doors onto the dining terrace and
gardens. The main staircase leads to the master bedroom with en
suite WC and a further double bedroom with built-in wardrobes,
basin and garden views. An inner hall leads to a cloakroom and a
luxurious family bathroom with half-panelled walls, vaulted
ceiling, roll top freestanding bath and Travertine marble flooring
with underfloor heating. A shower room also features Travertine
marble tiling, a wall mounted drawer and basin unit, and plumbing
for a washing machine. Sky is available in both sitting
rooms.
The cottage is reached across a cattle grid and through a
five-bar gate which leads onto a wide gravelled driveway with
parking, double garage and single garage. The double garage is
fitted out with units, plumbing and power to provide additional
storage and laundry facilities. The weatherboarded single garage is
used as a store, but the intention had been to replace this
building with a garage/boat store repositioned nearer the
boundary.
Ramblers is surrounded by country cottage gardens which enjoy a
great deal of privacy and include a flagstone terrace and pergola
with outdoor lighting that’s ideal for alfresco dining. There are
lawns, well-established shrubs, hedging and trees, as well as a
cedar clad and thatch log store and new picket fence to the front.
Altogether the gardens extend to about a third of an acre.
