Broadlands Road, Brockenhurst, SO42

Set on a highly regarded forest track, this spacious and individually built four-bedroom detached bungalow occupies a beautifully secluded south-facing plot of approximately 0.6 acres, directly fronting the open forest.

The accommodation offers generous proportions in excess of 2600 sq ft with high ceilings and large windows making it light and airy. Further benefits include a double garage, extensive parking and further scope for extension (STP).

The property is located in a rarely available and highly sought after location in a private no through lane. The open forest is accessed via a footpath leading down into North Weirs or at the start of the lane, where the forest lies opposite. The village offers a mainline railway station with direct links to London Waterloo in approximately 90 minutes and a good local community of shops and restaurants.

The Georgian coastal town of Lymington is only 4 miles to the south with its famous Saturday country market, extensive yachting facilities and ferry service to the 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 porch leads into a generous reception hall with double doors opening to both the drawing and dining rooms. The impressive 36ft drawing room features a Michelmersh brick open fireplace and two sets of patio doors opening onto a south-facing terrace and gardens.

An archway connects to the dining room, which leads into the well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with ample storage, a breakfast bar, Neff double oven, Stoves five-burner gas hob, integrated freezer, and tiled splashbacks.

The adjacent utility room includes further storage, a worktop with sink, space and plumbing for laundry appliances, and access to both the front driveway and a side entrance. A cloakroom is also accessible from here.

The bungalow offers four large double bedrooms. The principal bedroom boasts three sets of built-in wardrobes and a spacious modern wet room. A guest bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room, while the remaining two bedrooms also feature built-in wardrobes. A family bathroom completes the accommodation.

Though the bungalow would benefit from some modernisation, recent updates include new double-glazed windows and doors, and a new boiler fitted in 2023.

A private 60m driveway leads to a turning and parking area in front of the bungalow. The front boundary adjoins the open forest, offering picturesque views. A double integral garage with twin electric doors includes a courtesy door to the rear garden.

The sunny, south-facing rear garden is mostly lawned with a large sun terrace, bordered by mature trees and shrubs for excellent privacy. The lawn wraps around to the western side, and there is also a good-sized workshop with power and lighting.
