Set within almost three quarters of an acre of walled grounds in the New Forest National Park, this Grade II listed double‑fronted home offers genuine period character and high privacy. The sitting room has exposed beams, a brick feature wall and inset log burner; two generous first‑floor bedrooms overlook the garden. A ground‑floor bedroom or study and a bespoke kitchen with an island add practical family space. Off‑street parking and large gated access complete the setting.
The substantial gardens are the standout asset: mature lawns, vegetable patches and historic outbuilding footings (former melon houses and greenhouses) provide strong scope for horticulture, garden rooms or sensitive restoration. For buyers seeking a project there is potential to enhance the house and grounds, subject to listed‑building consent.
Important practical facts: the property is Grade II listed which will restrict alterations and may complicate repairs; the solid brick walls appear uninsulated and the Energy Performance Rating is currently F. Heating is via a biomass boiler using bulk wood pellets and drainage is to a private septic tank. Broadband speeds are very slow, and some rooms and finishes will need updating.
This is best suited to buyers wanting a private, characterful home with outdoor space and willingness to manage a listed renovation. The location is quiet with low crime, nearby good and outstanding primary schools, and easy access to countryside and local amenities.
