Built 1930s–1940s; period character but may need modernisation
Set within the New Forest National Park and formed from two adjoining cottages, this detached five‑bedroom home blends period character with flexible family living. The ground floor offers multiple reception rooms, a dedicated study and a well‑equipped kitchen with adjoining utility. The sitting room features a wood‑burning stove and French doors opening onto paved terraces and lawned gardens—ideal for indoor‑outdoor family life.
The first floor is split into two distinct wings, each with its own staircase, providing privacy and scope for multi‑generational living, guest accommodation or a small B&B operation. There are four en‑suite bathrooms in total, useful built‑in storage and separate loft access on both sides to maximise practicality.
Outside, a very large plot includes paved entertaining terraces, a summer house, large gravel drive and a double garage with additional lofted storage. The location is a major draw: immediate access to the open forest and close proximity to Beaulieu village amenities and two well‑regarded schools.
Practical considerations: the property uses oil‑fired central heating, sits on a private drainage system and currently has an EPC rating of E. Council tax is in Band G and broadband speeds are slow — factors to weigh against the house’s size, setting and versatile layout.
