Linwood, NEW FOREST, BH24 3QT

A beautiful, peaceful location, set within the New Forest National Park, 360 degree views, plenty of parking and a gorgeous, mature and private plot of approximately three quarters of an acre, are just a few features of this exceptional New Forest home, that has been extensively improved and enjoyed by the same owners for almost 20 years.

Hill View, a typical forest cottage has been lovingly maintained and improved by the current owners for almost 20 years. The location is second to none with two fine local hostelries within a short distance and the open New Forest right on the doorstep. Ponies, Cattle, Pigs (when in season) and deer – as well as other local wildlife graze on the adjacent Appleslade Common - making it a truly magical setting for anyone wanting their very own slice of the New Forest. The current owners have loved every minute of living here, making the most of the outside space and outbuildings over the years by opening it up as a local Arts venue, very widely appreciated and offering many artists the opportunity to exhibit work in the grounds, with art workshops and demonstrations being a continuous feature.

The ground floor offers a wonderful sitting room with vaulted ceiling and exposed beams and delightful Rais woodburner installed in 2019, a garden room, dining room/ bedroom linking through to a separate study and nearby WC.  The ground floor master bedroom with en suite and fitted wardrobes enjoys a quaint reading area/ sun room with a door leading to the outside.

The kitchen/ breakfast room is fitted in a traditional style with a good range of both floor and wall mounted units, walk in larder, complimenting worktops and tiled flooring and an adjacent utility room provides plenty of space for further appliances together with a cloakroom and rear lobby. A covered walkway gives dry access to the side of the detached double garage.

The first floor lies host to a further two double bedrooms both with wardrobes and use of a sizeable family bathroom with shower cubicle and bath.

The gardens of this incredible home are one of its stunning defining features and are a delight to behold – They extend around the property providing several ‘rooms’ to enjoy the different view and all making a great connection with the surrounding area and enabling lots of opportunity for outdoor living. Extending in all to approx. 0.75 acre they also incorporate a 3.24m x 9.7m insulated studio with radiator, water and lighting, 2.53m x 4.35m workshop and two adjacent stores, these together with the summer house and double garage all offer tremendous scope and opportunity (subject to any consents that may be required) 

The property is accessed directly from the New Forest via a five bar gate which gives access to the remote operated lit driveway and plenty of parking and turning.

Viewing comes highly recommended to fully appreciate the tranquil setting of this wonderful home, please call for further details.
