Description

Presented to the market for just the 2nd time in over 70 years and located in a sought-after position in Burley, within the New Forest National Park, this stunning property features many highlights indeed.

This fine residence features four bedrooms and exceptional, spacious reception areas, whilst being set on picturesque grounds of approaching 6 acres including paddocks and is ideally positioned just moments from the open forest. Offered to the market with no onward chain.

The property is centrally located in, 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 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 easily accessible.

An excellent opportunity to acquire a wonderful four-bedroom character residence that blends timeless architectural charm with an elegant contemporary interior. Thoughtfully renovated to an exacting standard and high specification, 'Rooks Acre' effortlessly combines original period features with sophisticated modern design, creating a home that is both welcoming and practical.

Extending to five beautifully appointed reception rooms, the accommodation offers  versatility for both family living and entertaining. Light-filled spaces flow seamlessly throughout the ground floor, with each room enjoying its own  character while maintaining a cohesive sense of style. Bespoke finishes, carefully selected materials and understated luxury are evident at every turn, complementing the  charming original details.

At the heart of the home lies a stunning open-plan kitchen & living/breakfast room, which is a superb space, designed for modern living and opening effortlessly onto the rear garden. Additional reception rooms offer flexibility for formal dining, a sitting room, study, snug or playroom, adapting easily to changing lifestyles. An inviting conservatory, again well positioned to enjoy the pleasant and green outlook is conveyed, while there are practical areas such as a utility room and separate laundry room.

The first floor comprises four generously proportioned bedrooms, thoughtfully arranged to provide both comfort and privacy. The principal suite offers a peaceful retreat, complemented by a well-appointed ben suite, along with fitted wardrobes. There is also a generous family bathroom.

This is a truly distinctive residence and a viewing is recommended to appreciate all on offer.

Located in a tranquil, 'set back' positon behind an electric gate, 'Rooks Acre' enjoys an enviable position within beautifully established grounds, offering an outstanding degree of privacy and seclusion.

Occupying a wonderful plot, the gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped to create a series of peaceful outdoor spaces. Beyond the principal garden, the well-fenced paddocks make the property ideally suited to those with equestrian interests, or simply to enjoy an idyllic rural lifestyle with space to roam.

A particularly impressive feature of the property is the purpose-built six car garage, a versatile space with scope to accommodate a wide variety of uses, while there is an additional double garage.

There is also a charming summer house, which provides a delightful retreat.

For those with equestrian interests or a desire for additional lifestyle and storage space, the property benefits from an excellent range of outbuildings, including five well-proportioned stables and an adjoining store.
