A superb home of character in a sought after semi-rural location enjoying a wonderful outlook, the whole affording great privacy and seclusion with a delightful mature garden.
SITUATION
Little Meadow is situated off a minor country lane in the sought-after Boldre valley. The extensive facilities afforded by the Georgian market town of Lymington, renowned for its river, marinas and yacht clubs is situated approximately 2½ miles south. The New Forest village of Brockenhurst is situated about 4 miles north of the property on the open forest, offering a useful mainline rail connection (London/Waterloo approximately 90 minutes). The forest village of Sway (approximately 3½ miles west) provides a similar mainline rail connection. The M27 (Junction 1) at Cadnam (approximately 9 miles north via the A337) provides easy access to the M3 motorway network.
DESCRIPTION
Built we understand in the late Edwardian era to serve as a Gardeners Cottage supporting Tweed House, the property, being built of pleasing mellow brick, incorporates characteristic dark wood small pane lead light glazed casements with areas of tile hanging to the gable ends, the whole being surmounted by a renewed steep pitched tiled roof. Internally, the property offers a delightful blend of traditional character and contemporary, being naturally well lit with superb exposed mellow parquet wood floors. Arranged off a generous reception hall, the ground floor features a charming drawing room, dining room and study, with a well proportioned 'live in' style kitchen/breakfast room supported by a large utility room and cloakroom.
The rooms enjoy delightful views over the mature gardens with the backdrop of extensive farmland. The first floor is currently arranged to provide three bedrooms served by a modern bathroom, though a useful studio (potential fourth bedroom) and its adjacent en-suite bathroom and dressing room would
make a suite. The gardens, that extend to close on half and acre, are an undoubted feature affording privacy and seclusion with an area of off lane parking. Within the curtilage is an attractive outbuilding in the form of a double garage and a two bay barn with a substantial overhead area of storage.
In all, an individual home ideally suited to a discerning purchaser.
OUTSIDE
The property is approached off Boldre Lane over a rising gravel driveway, the driveway being bordered by a range of mature ornamental shrubs with twin wrought iron gates that open to a parking apron adjacent to the property. To one side of the drive there is a useful attractive brick built open fronted Outbuilding in the form of a garden store room. A curved ornamental brick wall screens the parking area from the formal grounds. The property itself is particularly attractive, being clad in a combination of mature wisteria, cordoned pear and clematis with well stocked herbaceous borders abutting the property, offset by characteristic brick edged gravelled paths. To the rear of the property there is a substantial brick paved herringbone Seating Terrace that affords delightful vistas over the gardens and in particular the adjacent farm/paddockland, the whole enjoying distant views into woodland.
The majority of the formal gardens area situated to the immediate south of the property, having a delightful sunny aspect, the boundaries being clearly defined by established ornamental hedgework and/or a combination of parkland railing with well-maintained hawthorn. The formal gardens are laid essentially to sweeping areas of well maintained lawn incorporating areas of wild flower meadow interspersed with mature apple trees. There are further deep well stocked herbaceous borders that provide seasonal colour and interest throughout the year. Within the curtilage of the garden there is a further range of trees in the form of mature eucalyptus, beech and silver birch.
In the south-western corner of the garden there is a useful attractive single Outbuilding 12.24m x 5.08m (40'2" x 16'8") in the form of a brick built Double Garage with an adjacent Two Bay Barn, the whole being built of brick under a pitched tiled roof incorporating Velux windows at first floor level, the whole being set on a concrete base with a gravelled apron. The complex provides for an excellent workshop/general store area, adjacent to which is a delightful brick edged raised area of garden incorporating a number of specimen roses.
In all, the gardens extend to an area of just under 0.5 acre (0.2 hectare), affording the occupants a great sense of privacy and seclusion with a delightful tranquil outlook.
