Old Bakery is a substantial four-bedroom detached home dating from 1875, set on a very large, private plot in the heart of Burley. The house keeps much period character — beamed ceilings, original oven doors and feature fireplaces — while offering versatile living areas including two reception rooms, a snug, study/ground-floor bedroom and generous kitchen/dining space. The sizeable sitting room with bay window and woodburner provides an impressive entertaining hub.
Outside, mature landscaped gardens wrap around the house and include a sun-trap terrace, greenhouse, tranquil waterfall feature and established borders. A small paddock with secure fencing and field gate expands the plot and is suitable for hobby farming or equestrian use. Practical outbuildings include two powered double garages, a long gravel drive and a covered log store.
Practical benefits include mains gas boiler and radiators, double glazing installed since 2002, laundry room and useful walk-in larder. The location is a key asset: tucked behind a five-bar gate in a peaceful village setting with New Forest access, nearby amenities and good road links to Bournemouth, Southampton and the M3.
Buyers should note a single family bathroom serves four bedrooms (plus one ground-floor en suite), council tax is described as expensive, and the property’s original cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation — further improvement and maintenance may be required. The house presents strong potential for updating to increase energy efficiency and tailor living spaces to modern tastes.
