Palace Lane, Beaulieu, Brockenhurst, SO42

An immaculate, recently extended and meticulously refurbished country residence, set within approximately 1.5 acres of beautifully landscaped parkland grounds and featuring a tennis court, gym and triple garage. This exceptional home seamlessly blends original period charm with contemporary luxury across three floors, offering seven bedrooms, four bathrooms, a selection of elegant reception rooms with a host of period features and a truly outstanding modern open-plan kitchen and family living space.

Situated in the heart of Beaulieu, just moments from the picturesque village centre, Beaulieu Abbey, the river, sailing club, cricket ground and the highly regarded village school, this beautifully presented home—originally dating back over 300 years—was thoughtfully extended and comprehensively refurbished to the highest standard during 2022/23.

Extending to nearly 5,000 sq ft of impressive accommodation, the ground floor comprises a substantial and welcoming entrance hall, a dual-aspect formal dining room, and a refined sitting room centred around a feature open fireplace with French doors opening onto the front terrace. A dual-aspect study/library, lined with bespoke fitted bookshelves, offers an idyllic workspace. A cosy snug with feature fireplace flows seamlessly into the stunning, dual-aspect modern kitchen/breakfast room, complete with underfloor heating, central island with breakfast bar, integrated appliances and an adjoining utility room.

The first floor offers five generous double bedrooms and four luxurious bath/shower rooms. The show-stopping principal suite features a dedicated dressing room, walk-in wardrobe, en-suite shower room and double doors opening onto a private balcony enjoying far-reaching views across the gardens and tennis court. The remaining bedrooms are served by two stylish independent bathrooms—both with walk-in showers—and an additional shower room. The second floor provides two versatile double guest bedrooms together with extensive storage.

Outside, a sweeping shingled driveway leads to the triple-bay garage, offering ample parking and an EV charging point. To the front, a superb paved seating terrace overlooks immaculate lawns framed by mature, hedged and tree-lined boundaries. Beyond the formal garden lies a productive kitchen garden with fruit cage and an impressive hard tennis court, all set within extensive lawns with gated access (by agreement) to the neighbouring Beaulieu Estate.

Positioned within the heart of the New Forest National Park, the location offers the unique charm of free-roaming ponies, donkeys, cattle and, during pannage season, pigs. Surrounded by miles of ancient woodland and open heathland, Beaulieu lies approximately six miles from the Georgian coastal market town of Lymington, renowned for its marinas, yacht clubs and ferries to the Isle of Wight, and from Brockenhurst, which provides direct mainline rail services to London Waterloo in around 90 minutes. The village itself offers an outstanding range of amenities, including the elegant Montagu Arms Hotel and adjoining pub, cafés, shops, a celebrated garden centre and the world-famous National Motor Museum. To the west of the Beaulieu River lies Buckler’s Hard marina, and a couple of miles further beyond the private residents’ beach at Park Shore.
