Modern four-bedroom country house with solar panels, double garage and large garden.
Approx. 3,300 sq ft family home on a large private plot
Sloden Lodge is a substantial modern family home set within the New Forest National Park, offering about 3,300 sq ft of living space on a large private plot. The house combines high-quality finishes — engineered oak and travertine floors, underfloor heating, double glazing and a newly fitted solar panel array — with flexible family living: a vaulted garden room, double-aspect living room with multi-fuel stove, and a generous open-plan kitchen/breakfast area. Outside, mature beech and oak boundaries, a newly laid patio and wraparound decking create private, usable gardens for children and pets.
Practical efficiencies have been fitted throughout: solar panels (supporting electricity and hot water), a rainwater harvesting system linked to internal drainage, a Quooker and integrated filtration in the kitchen, plus a large detached double garage with electric roller doors and a versatile room above suitable for a home office, studio or gym. The property is freehold, in a very low-crime village with excellent mobile signal and easy access to Landford amenities and New Forest countryside for walks and outdoor activities.
Buyers should note a few material points. Broadband speeds are reported as slow, which may affect home working despite the good mobile signal. Council tax is described as quite expensive. There is an inconsistency in the supplied details about bathroom numbers (the listing references en-suite bathrooms but a single bathroom is also recorded) — this should be confirmed. The house was built in 2006 and is modern in construction; any buyer seeking a period property should be aware this is a contemporary build with timber-frame elements.
Overall, Sloden Lodge will suit families seeking spacious, well-equipped rural living with strong sustainability features and flexible outbuildings. It offers an attractive, private setting with room for home working or hobbies, but prospective buyers should confirm the precise bathroom count and consider the impact of slow broadband and higher council tax on daily running costs.
