Woodview lies about a quarter of a mile from the centre of arguably one of the most beautiful and sought after villages in The New Forest.

The village of Burley itself offers a number of useful amenities and facilities, including a post office, shops and a number of pubs as well as a picturesque golf course, with further facilities at Brockenhurst and Lyndhurst. The village has a primary school and the area is well served by excellent private schools which include Walhampton, Durston Court and Ballard School near New Milton.

The market town of Ringwood is approximately 5 miles away and the A31 (approx 3 miles) provides easy access across the forest for the coastal resort of Bournemouth and the M27/M3 motorway network.

The Property

Situated on a forest track in an extremely peaceful and private setting, this charming character cottage offers lovely period features such as Sash windows, picture rails and a wooden front door reputed to originate from the old village school.

A brick porch with large apex window opens into the main sitting room featuring an inset woodburning stove and doors opening into an adjoining family room. Both rooms benefit from exposed wood flooring and Sash windows overlooking the forest to the front. Set off the family room is a small cloakroom with wash basin and wc.

The sitting room looks through the whole house to the rear garden and links via glass doors to the impressive kitchen/dining room, which extends the full width of the property. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units with space and plumbing for an integral washing machine and dishwasher and space for a freestanding American style fridge/freezer. At the end of the kitchen is a Range cooker with built-in extractor unit above. A small, separate cupboard area provides an ideal space for a tumble dryer. The dining area offers a good size space which can accommodate a large dining table, ideal for entertaining.

From the dining area, French doors with windows either side open into a superb triple aspect Orangery complete with stylish lantern roof with beaded lighting, tiled underfloor heating and a door opening onto the rear terrace. The Orangery enjoys lovely views across the rear garden.

To the first floor, there are two front aspect, double bedrooms with Sash windows offering elevated views across the open forest and a single, third bedroom.

The bedrooms are served by a large family bathroom comprising a panelled bath, shower cubicle, wash basin with storage underneath, wc and heated towel rail. A small airing cupboard also houses a modern boiler unit.

Grounds and Gardens

The property is bounded to the front by a pretty picket fence border, with a pedestrian gate opening onto a small area of low maintenance garden.

Side access either side of the property leads to the rear, where a paved sun terrace extends across the back and away from the house.

The rear garden is apportioned into three separate areas of lawn, interspersed by a gravel pathway leading through to the parking area.

A secondary paved terrace provides an ideal space for enjoying the evening sun.

The gravel driveway is set to the back of the plot and is accessed via a track running behind the property. A five bar gate opens onto the driveway which provides off road parking facilities and access to a detached single garage.

An additional brick built detached outbuilding (in need of repair) offers options for several uses (subject to the necessary planning consents being granted).

The rear garden is bounded by established hedge and timber fence borders. Both the front and rear gardens feature Magnolia trees.
