A delightful forest cottage situation in an outstanding position on the outskirts of Burley Village, with direct forest access and complete privacy and seclusion. This wonderful deceptively spacious double fronted home, boasts character and charm, benefitting from two double bedrooms, a large family bathroom and flexible ground floor living areas. Oakley Gate lies about three quarters of a mile from the centre of, arguably, one of the most beautiful and sought after villages in The New Forest, ideally situated to make full use of all the wonderful facilities the Forest has to offer. Whether it be sailing at nearby Lymington (12 miles) or golf at one of the many courses in the area including nearby Burley and Brockenhurst with its mainline railway station (8 miles, Waterloo 90 mins). The market town of Ringwood is but a short drive away (5 miles). The larger shopping towns of Southampton (20 miles) to the east and Bournemouth (16 miles) to the west, both with their airports are both easily accessible. Apon entering the property with the staircase in front of you, there is a sitting room to your left with large window to the front and open fireplace. On the other side of the entrance hallway is another large reception room, currently utilised as a dining room, again with open fireplace and window with front aspect. To the rear of the property is the kitchen with a rear door leading outside and space for a breakfast table. The kitchen has been newly fitted with Shaker style modern units with wood effect worktops over. Integrated appliances include an electric oven with gas ring hob over, a one and half sink and there is further space for a dishwasher, washing machine and freestanding Fridge/freezer. A large boot room/utility sits aside the kitchen and leads to a ground floor WC. Rising to the first floor there is a large family bathroom comprising both a bath with handheld shower over as well as a separate shower cubicle. Steps rise again to the landing where both bedrooms are accessed. Both bedrooms are generous doubles with front aspect views over the gardens. Oakley Gate sits within a delightful plot approaching half an acre. Primarily laid to lawn with an area of gravel driveway to the front, accessed via wooden gates from a short forest track. The garden is bordered by mature hedging offering the property complete seclusion and privacy. The open forest is accessed directly from the gate and Woods Corner enclosure is just a stones throw away offering incredible walking and cycle tracks on your doorstep.
