Long Mead is a spacious detached family home set on almost half an acre in sought-after Burley, within easy walking distance of the village and the New Forest. The house combines traditional character — exposed New Forest oak trusses, vaulted sitting room and a wood-burning stove — with contemporary light-filled living spaces and useful modern fittings such as underfloor heating in key rooms and a recently refurbished family bathroom (Nov 2023).
The garden is a major asset: a private southerly plot laid mainly to lawn, mature hedging and specimen trees framed by a sandstone terrace and inset lighting. Off-road parking for several cars, a private driveway and a detached double garage (with planning approved to convert into a hobby room/home office) add practical flexibility for families or home workers.
Practical considerations are stated plainly. The property dates from the early 20th century and the cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation; the Energy Performance Rating is D (current 63, potential 75). Broadband speeds in the area are reported slow despite excellent mobile signal. There is one main family bathroom and overall room distribution is described as three/four bedrooms across multiple floors, so buyers expecting en‑suite provision or single‑level living should check suitability.
Positioned half a mile from Burley centre, the house offers easy access to the forest and local amenities, with larger towns and transport links (Brockenhurst, Ringwood, Bournemouth, Southampton) within reasonable driving distance. This property will suit buyers seeking a peaceful, private family home with scope to personalise and to take advantage of the approved garage conversion for home working or a hobby space.
