Situated close to the open forest and the village of Beaulieu, this detached family home is formed from two adjoining cottages, offering generous and versatile accommodation. The ground floor provides multiple reception rooms, a study and kitchen, while the first floor is arranged into two separate wings with five bedrooms and four bathrooms in total. Outside, the property benefits from private gardens, a double garage and ample parking.

THE GROUND FLOOR
The enclosed church porch opens into the main hall, where there is a cloakroom, under-stairs storage, and the first of two staircases rising to the upper floor. To the right, a bright dining room enjoys a triple aspect with a box bay window, and a brick fireplace with cupboards to either side. To the left of the hallway is an open reception and breakfast rooms, creating an open and versatile space for entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and floor units, incorporating a sink, electric hob with extractor above, Neff twin oven, and fridge. The adjoining utility room provides further workspace and storage, with plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, a sink, and the oil-fired boiler. A door from here leads out to the porch and garden. The study has ample shelving for books and cupboard space, complemented by a feature fireplace. The breakfast room leads to the secondary hallway, with further under-stairs storage, the second stairway and a church porch which leads to the outside. To the left of this hall lies the sitting room, a generous triple aspect space with French doors to the garden and a brick fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove.

THE FIRST FLOOR
The house upstairs is separated into two distinct areas, each accessed by their own staircases. From the main hallway, the landing leads to three bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of which is en-suite. From the secondary staircase leads to two generous bedrooms with ample cupboard space and both being en suite. Each side of the first floor benefits from its own loft access, providing excellent storage. The house offers exciting flexibility - whether for guest privacy, independent space for teenagers, or potential B&B use.

OUTSIDE
From Hatchet Lane, a five-bar gate opens onto a large gravel driveway with ample parking and access to the double garage which has a pitched roof providing extra storage space. The gardens are laid mainly to lawn with paved terraces ideal for outdoor entertaining. A summer house completes the outside space.
