This much cherished, beautifully maintained home has been comprehensively re-imagined and extended by the owners. The house itself extends to approximately 1,720 square feet along with a stunning detached annexe, two garaging complexes, stables, and 4.5 acres of gardens and paddocks. The house has been carefully designed, taking full advantage of its location within the New Forest National Park, with the majority of rooms enjoying views over the grounds, paddocks and New Forest countryside beyond.

The house itself is a handsome, unspoiled period property of tremendous character with elegant light and airy rooms, traditionally arranged and perfectly suited to couples and families alike. The deceptive accommodation is arranged over two floors boasting well proportioned, comfortable rooms you would expect of a picturesque, turn of the century New Forest home.

The House

The ground floor accommodation comprises a gorgeous sitting room with a feature fireplace and log burning stove, a kitchen/breakfast room, which is ideally suited for modern living, with attractive solid Ash cabinetry with Cherry Wood surfaces, an AGA and central island creating additional workspace and storage. The adjoining utility room and boot room have further built-in storage including a walk-in larder. The south facing orangery is a room of particular note. The glazed elevation perfectly frames the stunning views with French doors opening out to the gardens, creating a seamless indoor- outdoor entertaining space. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a useful study and a cloakroom.

On the first floor there are three generous, characterful double bedrooms. The principal bedroom boasts stunning southerly views, has a dressing area and a stylish en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms have pretty feature Victorian fireplaces and are serviced by a well-appointed modern family bathroom.

The Annexe

Created by the owners in 2009, this wonderfully versatile space perfectly complements the main home, boasting gorgeous views across the garden. The spacious accommodation has been finished to exacting standards and comprises an open plan kitchen/sitting room, a double bedroom and a bathroom.

Outside

Occupying a spectacular, yet discreet, elevated position, located down a quiet New Forest side road is Oaklands. The home is perfectly positioned within its plot with formal gardens wrapping around the home before extending away into the orchard, lake and paddock. The primary entrance is on the eastern side of the grounds with a gated entrance leading onto a sweeping driveway that gives access to ample parking, two detached car barns, one suitable for a larger vehicle such a horse lorry or camper van. There is a second gated entrance on the western side that also gives way to additional parking, the detached double garage and a useful open tractor and machinery barn. In addition, there are two stables that offer scope for conversion if required (STPP).
