Double garage with electric door; parking via gated gravel driveway

This modern detached house sits on a large plot at the fringe of the New Forest, just 100 yards from open forest and a short walk to the village. The well-presented accommodation includes four bedrooms, two en suites, three reception rooms and a double garage — a practical family layout with generous reception space and a kitchen/breakfast room overlooking a low-maintenance rear garden.
Energy efficiency is a genuine selling point: privately owned solar panels generate an income in excess of £2,000 per year and the property currently has a B83 EPC rating. Mains gas central heating, double glazing and cavity wall insulation give reasonable running costs, while ultrafast broadband (up to 1,000 Mbps) supports home working and streaming. The study with garden access will suit those needing a dedicated home office.
The setting is peaceful and affluent with low crime and good local schools nearby, making this suitable for growing families or buyers seeking countryside lifestyle close to Lymington and its marinas. The plot is landscaped for low maintenance with paved seating and ornamental beds; a canopy provides covered outdoor space off the kitchen.
Notable considerations: council tax is in Band G and therefore relatively expensive. The property lies within New Forest National Park, which can mean tighter planning controls for extensions or significant alterations. Mobile signal is average; purchasers seeking guaranteed strong mobile coverage should check operators. Overall the house is well maintained but was constructed in the late 1990s/early 2000s — buyers should survey for normal age-related maintenance rather than major rebuilding.
