Six-acre private plot with equestrian facilities; spacious five-bedroom family home requiring thoughtful modernisation.
Exclusive private enclave of five executive homes
Tucked into a private enclave of five executive homes on the edge of the New Forest, this substantial five-bedroom detached house occupies around six acres of grounds, combining landscaped formal gardens with paddocks and equestrian outbuildings. The house offers generous, well-proportioned rooms including a large sitting room with an inglenook-style fireplace, multiple reception rooms and a principal suite with dressing room and en-suite. A built-in sauna adds an unusual, spa-like feature.
The setting is a key strength: mature planting and a sweeping driveway give a real sense of arrival, while three paddocks, two stables and a large workshop/barn suit small-scale equestrian use or other rural hobbies. The detached double garage has electric doors and useful loft storage. The village location provides countryside tranquillity with easy access to Romsey, Southampton and the M27.
The house has been neatly maintained but requires thoughtful modernisation throughout to realise its full potential. Practical points to note: broadband speeds are slow, the detached garage needs some maintenance, and the paddocks/stables are held on a separate title which may affect future use or sale. Council tax is Band G and likely to be a material running cost.
This property will suit a family or buyer seeking substantial outdoor space and equestrian facilities who is prepared to invest in updating and tailoring the interior. Its size, plot and location offer strong long-term appeal for those wanting privacy, scope to personalise and room for rural pursuits.
