Burgate, Fordingbridge, SP6

This substantial home offers a wealth of well-presented and flexible accommodation, with the current vendors having undertaken a range of enhancements to maximise the space and versatility of both the home and gardens.

The flexibility of the accommodation gives opportunities for either a range of multi-generational living, or abilities for income generation, which our vendors have been particularly successful at. The home sits centrally within its grounds, offering a high degree of privacy, being set back from the village lane, and also boasts a 77’ garage ideal for a collection of either classic cars or other paraphernalia.

The light and airy accommodation offers over 2,600 sq.ft. of flowing living areas, most of which are accessed via the large entrance hall. A room of particular note is the dual aspect 32’ ‘heart of the home’ open plan kitchen/sitting room with bi-folding doors leading out to the garden and terrace. The kitchen is well-appointed with stylish, an island unit, pantry and utility, with then the sitting room/dining area, enjoying lovely views across the grounds and then the National Park beyond.

On the ground floor there are four generous bedrooms, all of which have en-suite bathrooms. Two of these bedrooms suites also have kitchens off them, with separate accesses to the outside, which either further enhance the multi-generational aspects of the house or income generation, as they are separate from the rest of the properties living accommodation. On the first floor there is a principal bedroom suite which is worthy of mention with its walk in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom, and stunning views looking across the grounds to the New Forest National Park.

Homes of this quality and size with so much flexibility and in such a great location with stunning grounds are rare and we thoroughly recommend an internal inspection.
