About this property

An exceptional and rare opportunity to purchase a meticulously maintained, well-proportioned period home with gardens extending to approximately 1.13 acres, in this much sought after and picturesque New Forest village.

Offered to market for the first time in over 70 years is The Firs. This deceptive home boasts an abundance of charm with many character features still evident including open fireplaces and exposed beams. The flowing arrangement and versatility of rooms is a particular feature of this gorgeous home, as well as the light and airy ambience. The well-balanced accommodation comprises a welcoming entrance hall, that could be a superb dining hall, which in turn leads through to the principal reception rooms. There is a glorious formal sitting room that has a door opening to the gardens and a feature fireplace. To the front is the dual aspect family room with a door to the garden. In addition, there is a separate cosy snug or study, also with a feature fireplace. The kitchen has been recently updated and now boasts ample wall and base units under attractive work surfaces with some quality built in appliances. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a sizeable bathroom that is comprehensively appointed with neutral fixtures and fittings. Upstairs there are three generous double bedrooms arranged around a gallery landing. The two largest bedrooms have built in cupboards and all have lovely views over the village and gardens. There is also a useful cloakroom on the first floor.

This glorious home offers the next owners flexibility for further development subject to usual consents. We thoroughly recommend an internal inspection at your earliest opportunity.

Outside
The gardens and grounds of the house are a particular feature, amounting to approximately 1.13 acres of gorgeous parkland style gardens. A gated driveway provides access to the detached double garage as well as ample space to park multiple vehicles.

The gardens enjoy a sunny southerly aspect with an excellent degree of privacy and are predominantly laid to lawn, interspersed with mature shrubs and specimen trees. There is a formal cottage garden adjoining the rear of the home with colourful floral borders. The gentle undulations of the grounds beyond create a wonderful parkland feel with some areas left to be more wild, encouraging wildlife activity.

Situation
Redlynch is one of villages located in the popular uppermost North-West corner of the National Park. The village and neighbouring communities of Morgans Vale, Woodfalls and Downton together provide a varied range of recreational, health and educational facilities, the Trafalgar School recording a good recent Ofsted report. The local facilities are supplemented by a broader range of amenities available within the Cathedral City of Salisbury (approximately 8 miles), including mainline rail services (London Waterloo in 86 minutes) and the highly sought after Grammar schools of Bishops Wordsworth and South Wilts. Redlynch is extremely well placed for access further afield and Romsey, Southampton and Bournemouth are all within striking distance, Southampton Parkway providing a mainline rail service to London Waterloo in 71 minutes. Those with an enthusiasm for walking, riding and cycling will find the thousands of acres of New Forest an ideal setting for indulging in their particular hobby.
