Secluded period cottage with annexe, pavilion and direct forest access.
Direct private access to New Forest from garden gate
Holly Cottage is a handsome red-brick period home tucked down a private forest track in the New Forest National Park. The main house offers generous, characterful living spaces: dual-aspect sitting and dining rooms with clear-view wood burners, a well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room with gas Aga, and a vaulted principal bedroom with en-suite. The landscaping, raised terrace and covered veranda create several private outdoor living areas with direct gate access into the forest.
The plot is large and versatile, with a separate 17 ft pavilion ideal for a home office, hobby room or entertaining, plus a detached garage/store and a carport with a stylish one-bedroom annexe above. The annexe has a vaulted ceiling, open-plan kitchen/living area, double bedroom and shower room — useful for guests, multi-generational living or rental income.
Practical details suit year-round use: mains gas central heating (Nest-controlled), double glazing, and private parking. Note there is private drainage rather than mains sewer and the original cavity walls are assumed to be without insulation. The property is extremely large internally (approx 2,866 sq ft) and sits in an affluent, tranquil village setting about 2 miles from Burley village amenities.
This home will suit buyers seeking a peaceful family base or a lifestyle property in the New Forest with flexible annexe accommodation and strong outdoor appeal. The secluded position and direct forest access are standout features, while the private drainage and older cavity wall construction are material points to consider.
