Set in the heart of Burley with direct New Forest access, Lawnside is a substantial Victorian detached home offering generous space across three levels. The house combines original period character — bay windows, high ceilings and brick chimneys — with a contemporary kitchen, snug and flexible living areas ideal for family life or countryside entertaining.
The grounds are a standout feature: very large, level lawns, mature trees, an orchard area, paved terrace and shingle driveway leading to a brick-built double garage, outbuildings and a coach house currently used for storage (potential for conversion subject to planning). Ultra-fast broadband and excellent mobile signal on major networks make remote working straightforward.
Practical points are clear and factual. The property sits in Council Tax Band G, which is comparatively expensive. Parts of the building date from 1899 and external walls are cavity as built with no added insulation assumed — there is scope and likely cost for energy-efficiency upgrades. The coach house and outbuildings will need planning and refurbishment to change use or modernise.
This home will suit buyers seeking a spacious family house in a picturesque New Forest village, buyers wanting a roomy country base with modern connectivity, or those prepared to invest in measured upgrades to improve energy performance or create additional accommodation (STPP). Viewing is recommended to appreciate the plot, forest access and flexible accommodation.
