The house occupies on of the area's most breath-taking settings with panoramic views across Keyhaven harbour and the Solent to the Isle of Wight in the distance. Approached over a private drive and enjoying a distinct sense of privacy, the property is within touching distance of Keyhaven harbour and has direct access from the end of the garden to a pretty strand of beach and extensive coastal walks along the sea path to Lymington in the east and Barton on Sea in the west.

Keyhaven is an idyllic, unspoilt village with pretty period properties and an exceptional coastal ambience drawn from it's harbour, salt marshes and coastal walks. There is an exceptional pub, The Gun as well as two sailing clubs; Keyhaven Sailing Club and Hurst Castle Sailing club which provide the ability to practically sail from your doorstep.

The nearby, village of Milford on Sea, a mile to the west, offers a wider range of shops and services including wine bars, a bakery, restaurants and a beach ideal for swimming. The open spaces of the New Forest National Park lie to the north with Lymington's busy High Street and range of renowned sailing facilities lies a few miles to the West. 

New Milton Station, a 10 minute drive away offers direct services to London Waterloo in just under 2 hours.

Gorseland is a superb coastal property which has been updated and extended by the current owner to provide glorious accommodation with some of the finest water views in the area. Access to the water could not be better with a gate at the bottom of the garden providing direct access to the beach, Keyhaven harbour and the village beyond as well as the famous sea wall path linking Lymington to Barton on Sea. 

Built on a raised plinth and thus occupying an advantageous raised position, the house has remarkable views over its own two acre garden to The Solent and Isle of Wight. 

The front door opens to a staircase hall with a door on the right leading to a spacious sitting room with two distinct seating areas; one with a wood-burning stove and bay window overlooking the garden, the other area has bifold doors opening onto a raised deck with expansive views and room for a dining table.

Also on the ground floor is a kitchen /family room, again with views and fitted units and integrated appliances. Beyond the kitchen is a utility room with space for washer/dryer and a separate wc.

Upstairs the master bedroom has a balcony, adjoining dressing room / bedroom 4 and an en suite shower room. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are both good doubles with bedroom 2 having sea views and bedroom 3 a built in wardrobe. There is also a family bathroom with white sanitary-ware.

The house is approached over a long private drive leading to a large turning and parking area adjacent to the house and garage. Flanking the drive to the left is a 2 acre parcel of land, currently divided into two paddocks where there is currently a mobile home. This land is not included in the sale but is available by separate negotiation.

The main property extends to 2 acres with lawn garden extending from the rear of the house around to the front. As one advances down the garden one enters a more wild meadow at the end of which is a gate leading onto the sea wall path providing access to the village and beach beyond.

Also in the garden is a timber studio with large deck, ideal for hobbies or relaxing in the sunshine. Adjoining the house is a large single garage with up and over door, next to which is a separate annexe with its own front door leading to a kitchen / dining / sitting room and downstairs wet room.
