Burley, BH24 4BE

Tucked away behind a five-bar wooden gate, this charming home enjoys a generous plot that includes a private paddock and two double garages with power and lighting. A long gravel driveway provides ample parking and leads up to the garages, with a useful covered log store in between. The gardens wrap around the house and are a particular feature, with established borders, mature hedging, a lawned area, greenhouse, and a tranquil waterfall feature. A sun-trap terrace sits to the side of the house, perfectly positioned for outdoor dining and entertaining. The paddock is securely fenced with a field gate and offers an excellent space for hobby farming or equestrian use. The property also benefits from New Forest rights, including pasture, mast, and turbary. A covered entrance porch opens into a welcoming kitchen/dining space via a stable-style door. This well-proportioned room is filled with natural light, thanks to two Velux roof lights and a front-facing window. Fitted with a range of shaker-style units and roll-top work surfaces, the kitchen includes an integrated five-ring gas hob with two electric ovens, space for a tall fridge/freezer, and plumbing for a dishwasher. A feature wrought iron fireplace adds charm to the dining area, with ample space for a table and chairs. Sliding doors lead through to a central hallway and a versatile reception room, which features an open-tread staircase rising to the first floor, a character fireplace, plantation shutters, and access to a large walk-in larder. Off this space is a useful ground floor study or third bedroom with a pleasant rear outlook. The snug, located off the reception room, offers a peaceful retreat with a bay window to the side. Also on the ground floor is a spacious double bedroom with built-in storage and dual aspect windows, served by an adjoining en suite with freestanding roll-top bath, WC, wash basin, and side window. At the far end of the house lies a stunning sitting room, perfect for both relaxing and entertaining. A large bay window and sliding patio doors flood the space with light, while a magnificent feature fireplace with oak beam and inset woodburner creates a wonderful focal point. Original oven doors and beamed ceilings further enhance the character of this impressive room. The staircase leads to a small landing with front aspect window. The principal bedroom enjoys a lovely bay window to the side, while a separate dressing room (which could be used as a fourth bedroom) is accessed from the landing and includes built-in wardrobes and a rear window. A stylish shower room serves the upper floor and includes a large walk-in cubicle with rainfall shower, WC, wash basin, and chrome heated towel rail, along with an obscure-glazed front window. A useful laundry room completes the accommodation, fitted with space and plumbing for both washing machine and tumble dryer, a wall-mounted gas boiler, storage cupboard, and a rear-facing window.
