A handsome extended 1920s detached home set on a very large private plot on the edge of the New Forest. The house offers four double bedrooms — including a principal bedroom with en suite — plus a spacious living room with a log burner that opens into a bright conservatory overlooking private gardens and open fields. The detached double garage and long driveway provide generous parking for families and visitors.
The property blends original character with modern comforts: built-in bedroom storage, a mains gas boiler with radiators, and a full alarm and CCTV system for added security. Broadband and mobile signals are reported as strong, supporting home working and streaming. Its semi-rural location gives easy access to Romsey, Salisbury and Southampton while sitting in a quiet hamlet setting.
Buyers should note a handful of practical issues: the solid brick walls are assumed to lack insulation, presenting opportunity and cost for energy improvements; there is only one main bathroom plus the en suite; and the property sits in a medium flood-risk area. Council tax is described as expensive. These are typical for older country homes and will be relevant when budgeting for running costs and any planned upgrades.
Overall this is a well-proportioned family home for purchasers seeking countryside-adjacent living with good connectivity. It will particularly suit those wanting generous outdoor space, flexible bedrooms for home working or guests, and scope to invest in energy efficiency and cosmetic updating to increase comfort and value.
