This elegant character home, originally built in 1902, sits on a delightful three-acre plot, complete with paddocks and beautifully maintained gardens, offering breathtaking views.
Nestled in a serene and idyllic setting along a private country lane in the esteemed village of Burley, this agnificent seven-bedroom family residence boasts over 5,400 square feet of luxurious living space, further complemented by equestrian amenities.
A covered porch adorned with ornate tiling welcomes you into a gracious reception hallway.
The cosy sitting room, complete with a bay window and fireplace, is perfect for intimate evenings. Adjacent to the sitting room lies the grand drawing room, the heart of the home, with its lofty high ceilings, large bay window, and French doors opening onto the grounds, exuding timeless elegance. A central inset log burner with a stone-effect surround provides a focal point for formal gatherings.
Across the hallway, a study boasts a bay window with stunning views of the Croquet lawn and paddocks beyond. An oak-fitted library with additional storage enhances the space's refined ambiance.
The well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room, accessible from both the study and hallway, features handmade shaker-style units from Kitchen Elegance, a central island with an Italian marble countertop, and an AGA with a six-ring gas hob and dual electric ovens. This space is both functional and stylish, complemented by limestone flooring. A breakfast bar extends from the island, while a generous alcove serves as a pantry with built-in Neff and Miele appliances.
The kitchen's extended rear section is bathed in natural light from large windows and Velux skylights.
Continuing on the ground floor, a utility room offers additional storage and access to the pool area and gardens. A rear entrance under a covered porch includes storage and a boot room, ideal for muddy wellies after long walks. Rounding off this level is a formal dining room with a corner window and carpeting throughout, as well as a downstairs W/C.
The first floor offers a selection of bedrooms and bathrooms. The dual-aspect principal bedroom, comparable in size to the drawing room, showcases a bay window with seating that provides sweeping views, as well as ample room for wardrobes and additional furnishings.
The principal bedroom includes a luxurious ensuite bathroom, complete with a Villeroy & Boch double sink unit, a bath, and a spacious marble-tiled shower cubicle.
Two spacious double bedrooms at the front of the property offer stunning bay window views, while a rear double bedroom shares a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. An additional family shower room services this level.
Further stairs lead to the top floor, where three more double bedrooms await, one of which benefits from an ensuite bathroom and wall-to-wall storage.
Approaching the property via a gated entrance from Southfield Lane, a gravel driveway leads to the front of the house, offering parking for several cars. An oak-framed open double garage and an adjoining enclosed garage provide additional parking and storage, featuring electric double doors, lighting, and a 7kw electric car charging point.

The formal gardens at the front of the property provide a serene setting, while paddocks extending over two acres provide a summer stable and watering facilities. Surrounded by woodland, this property offers tranquillity and privacy in one of the forest's most beautiful areas, perfect for leisurely rides and strolls.
Nestled in a delightful corner plot on a quiet track, the property is approximately one mile from the heart of one of The New Forest's most beautiful and coveted villages.
