Description
The popular New Forest village of Ashurst is within a short walk offering a range of amenities, a public house, access to the open forest and a train station providing links to London Waterloo.
This desirable residential area is located on the north eastern edge of the New Forest National Park. The New Forest offers a wide range of outdoor pursuits and places of interest with the open forest easily accessible for walking and riding. The city of Southampton to the East provides a comprehensive range of retail and leisure facilities.
The property is extremely well placed for commuters with Junction 2 of the M27 motorway easily accessed at Ower within approximately three miles. Ashurst mainline railway station with direct links to Waterloo is located close by along with the convenient bus routes into Southampton and Lyndhurst. Plenty of schools are available in the surrounding area with the closest being the popular Foxhills Infant and Junior Schools as well as Hounsdown Secondary School.
The property is positioned on the centre of the generous corner plot having gardens to both sides, each mainly laid to lawn and each having areas of patio for al fresco dining. There is a detached brick garage and private driveway, wooden storage sheds and the boundaries are mature shrubs and close boarded fencing.
Agent Note: There is excellent scope to further extend the property, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
An enclosed porch leads through a beautiful original wooden door to the entrance hallway where stairs lead to the first floor landing and the three bedrooms. The hallway has a cloakroom under the stairs and a storage cupboard. The sitting room has a stripped wooden floor, an exposed brick fireplace and windows to dual aspect. The conservatory is positioned to the far end of the room and enjoys a sunny aspect with access to one of the two garden areas, the driveway and garage. The kitchen is very well fitted with a wide range of modern wooden storage cupboards. Integral appliances include an eye level fan oven with combination microwave above, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. There is a separate pantry with room for under counter appliances and from the kitchen a door leads to another conservatory which houses the washing machine and is ideal for use as a utility/boot room. The dining room is positioned adjacent to the kitchen and is a light room having windows to double aspects, an attractive fireplace, wooden floor and a serving hatch.
The first floor landing has an airing cupboard housing the hot water tank and there is an access hatch to the generous loft space. There are two generous double bedrooms and a third single room each served by the modern family bathroom with a shower over the bath.
Living in Lyndhurst

Lyndhurst is nicknamed the capital of the New Forest. This is partly because it is centrally located within the Forest, and partly because it is home to the district council, the Forestry Commission’s district office for South England and the Verderers’ Court (Verderers are the guardians of the Forest’s commoning rights and therefore protectors of the Forest landscape). It is also home to the New Forest Centre with Forest-themed museum, library and gallery.
Its High Street is a busy thoroughfare with numerous tea shops and coffee houses. As a shopping experience it runs the gamut from old-fashioned sweet shop and an award-winning butcher’s, through art gallery and eclectic vintage interiors shop to the Ferrari and Maserati showroom.
Eateries range from popular country inns, such as The Royal Oak at Bank (a hamlet within the parish boundary) and Lime Wood, a hip country house hotel with Good Food Guide recommended restaurant and luxurious spa.
Property is equally varied: from traditional terraced cottages to big country houses. Lyndhurst also appeals to commuters as there are links to major road networks at Ashurst and Cadnam as well as mainline stations at Ashurst and Brockenhurst.
