5 bedroom detached house

Positioned within one of the New Forest National Park’s most picturesque and peaceful locations, this exceptional country home sits in approximately 1.7 acres of meticulously maintained grounds, backing directly onto the open forest. Rebuilt to an impressive standard in 2013, the property offers a blend of traditional charm and high-end contemporary living.

With uninterrupted views over the surrounding countryside, beautifully landscaped gardens, and direct forest access via a private gate, this property offers the ultimate in rural lifestyle, privacy, and natural beauty.

Internally, the home is immaculately presented and thoughtfully designed throughout. The heart of the property is a contemporary kitchen, beautifully fitted with a range of high-quality appliances including a double oven, full-height fridge and freezer, integrated dishwasher, induction hob, and downdraft extractor. The kitchen overlooks the front garden and flows into an open-plan dining and living space, filled with natural light and centred around a wood-burning stove—creating a warm and inviting area ideal for everyday living and entertaining alike. The ground floor also features three generous double bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes and its own en suite bathroom, including a luxurious principal suite finished to a superb standard. A separate family bathroom offers a modern four-piece suite, styled with Mandarin Stone slate, while a well-equipped utility room houses a Grant oil-fired boiler, water softener, and bespoke cabinetry by New Forest Design and Interiors. Upstairs, two versatile rooms offer additional accommodation, ideal for guests, hobbies, or working from home, with one currently used as an air-conditioned study. High-quality finishes run throughout the house, including Kahrs engineered oak flooring and custom-made blinds and shutters by Broadview Blinds.

The outdoor space is just as impressive, with approximately 1.7 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens surrounding the home. The rear garden features an expansive lawn, bordered by mature planting and trees, with a large, high-quality terrace perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining. A bespoke pergola currently houses a hot tub and creates a stylish focal point in the garden.

From the rear boundary, a private gate opens directly onto a quiet and secluded part of the open New Forest—offering immediate access to thousands of acres of riding and walking country. A superb swimming pool and surrounding deck, installed by Ambassador Pools in 2022, is perfectly positioned to make the most of the outlook. A Crane Garden Buildings summer house, installed in 2020, provides an excellent garden retreat, studio or home office, while a professionally installed putting green adds a unique lifestyle touch for golf enthusiasts. The property also benefits from a sweeping gated driveway with low-level lighting, a double carport and garage built by Oakcraft of Holmsley, all offering an impressive approach and practical storage.
