Set on a very large, sheltered plot with direct access onto the New Forest, this detached cottage-style property includes a self-contained annexe and extensive outbuildings. The house and annexe together provide flexible living — useful for multi-generational families, home working or rental income — and total 1,552 sq ft of accommodation. The grounds (about 2.85 acres) include formal gardens, vegetable plots, two paddocks and multiple workshops and stores.
Internally the home retains traditional features such as a brick fireplace and conservatory that frame forest views. The main house is heated by an oil-fired boiler with underfloor heating, and the property has mains utilities with private drainage. The annexe, added in 1990, has its own entrance and could be reconfigured depending on needs.
The property does need updating: the main kitchen and some internal decor are dated and the glazing was installed before 2002. Several outbuildings will require maintenance and the accommodation layout could be improved for modern family life. Access is over a forestry-owned track subject to a 99-year lease issued in the 1980s — buyers should review lease terms and running costs.
This location is quiet and highly private, in Minstead within the New Forest National Park and close to Lyndhurst amenities and coastal destinations. It will suit buyers seeking countryside living with versatile ancillary space, and those willing to invest in refurbishment and upkeep to unlock full potential.
