North Weirs, Brockenhurst, SO42

Fronting the forest with its beautiful views and offered to the market for the first time in 40 years is this picturesque five-bedroom detached Victorian family home set in a superb plot approaching half an acre with the benefit of many large, low set windows to maximise light and the open views to the front from every aspect.

Located in the Heart of the New Forest in the ever-popular road of North Weirs, moments from Brockenhurst High Street and its main line station, eateries and boutique shops.

The property is situated in a highly sought after area of open forest known as North Weirs, offering the ‘best of both worlds’ with a prime countryside setting that is still within easy reach of all the amenities and facilities of Brockenhurst. The property is in the heart of the New Forest National Park, an area of outstanding natural beauty with ancient woodlands and heathland enjoyed by riders and walkers alike. Brockenhurst Village is easily accessible, offering a mainline railway station with direct links to London Waterloo in 90 minutes and a good local community of shops and restaurants. The village of Beaulieu lies 7 miles to the East with the marina of Bucklers Hard on the Beaulieu River. Approximately 4 miles to the South is the Georgian market town of Lymington with its famous Saturday county market, extensive yachting facilities and ferry service to Yarmouth, Isle of Wight. To the North is the village of Lyndhurst and Junction 1 of the M27 motorway which links to the M3 giving access to London.

A covered front porch provides access to a statement dining hall with wooden flooring and offers lovely front aspects towards the forest.

A set of internal French doors at one end of the dining hall leads you into a generous double aspect sitting room that stretches the depth of the house. The sitting room is carpeted and focused around a feature fireplace.

At the far end of the dining hall, a further doorway leads into a bright and airy snug, equally focused around another fireplace with woodburning stove. The snug leads through a set of double doors into a kitchen/dining room.

The kitchen offers an array of storage within both eye level and base units sat under worksurfaces with space for a six ring gas range cooker. A useful utility room sits at the rear of the property, accessed from the kitchen and provides further storage, butler style sink and a door to the rear garden, allowing this room to perfectly double up as an ideal boot room.

The ground floor accommodation is completed by a rear lobby and WC set from the hall with a further door leading to the rear garden. Stairs from the dining room lead to the first-floor landing where all bedroom accommodation can be found.

The principal bedroom sits at one end of the house and offers stunning double aspect views across the forest, further benefitting from a three piece en-suite and two sets of wardrobes providing built in storage. Bedrooms two and three sit at the other end of the property, both providing double aspect views and inbuilt wardrobes. Bedrooms four and five sit centrally within the home with equally lovely front views towards the forest. These bedrooms are serviced by two, three-piece bathrooms one offering a shower and the other a bath.

The property is approached via a picket fence at the front with a pathway leading to the entrance. The garden is laid to lawn with mature shrubs and planting. Vehicular access is located to the right of the plot where you can drive over a cattle grid onto a gravel driveway, providing off street parking for several cars along with a timber framed car barn. Another path from the driveway leads to the rear boot/utility room door entrance.

The garden is mostly laid to lawn and is surrounded by an array of hedging and fencing and a small patio area that sits at the back of the house. The garden wraps around the house, making the house itself well positioned in its plot with superb views and space all around. A further section of rear garden is accessed over a small bridge and provides additional lawned and composting areas.
