Lyndhurst has been known as the capital of The New Forest since William the Conqueror established it as a royal hunting ground in 1079, with Kings and Queens staying at the Royal Manor throughout the centuries. Lyndhurst is also home to the Forestry Commission and the Verderers’ Court (Verderers are the guardians of the forest’s rights and therefore protectors of the forest landscape). The delightful High Street offers an eclectic mix of boutique shops and everyday stores including an old-fashioned sweet shop and award-winning butchers, as well as an art gallery, a vintage interiors shop and a Ferrari and Maserati showroom. There are numerous places to eat out, ranging from popular country inns, such as The Royal Oak at Bank (a hamlet within the parish boundary) to Lime Wood, a country house hotel with a highly regarded restaurant and luxurious spa.

The ground floor is well balanced, with a welcoming entrance hall setting the tone for the light and spacious accommodation beyond. The principal sitting room is a superb dual-aspect space, centred around a contemporary gas fired wood burner and opening directly onto the rear terrace via wide sliding doors. Natural light pours in, and the connection to the garden makes this an exceptional room for both everyday living and entertaining.

At the centre of the home lies a superb bespoke hand made kitchen, finished in a classic shaker style with extensive cabinetry, generous Corian work surfaces and a central island providing additional preparation space and informal seating. A wide run of sliding picture windows frames views of the garden, flooding the room with natural light, while integrated appliances and thoughtful storage ensure the space is as practical as it is stylish. Integrated appliances include two dishwashers, a double oven, induction hob with discrete extractor. The property also hugely benefits from a fully fitted Grander water filtration system. The kitchen flows effortlessly into the adjoining dining area, creating an excellent open-plan environment for family meals and social gatherings.

Beyond, the sitting room is a particularly impressive reception space of excellent proportions. Bathed in light from large sliding doors that open directly onto the terrace, this inviting room complemented by a feature gas burning stove. The direct garden access enhances the sense of connection between inside and out, ideal for summer entertaining.

Double doors lead from the living area into a substantial garden room with panoramic glazing and further doors to the outside. With ample space for both seating and dining, this room offers flexibility as an additional reception area, studio or playroom, enjoying delightful views across the garden throughout the seasons. A separate study provides a quiet and well-proportioned room, positioned away from the main living spaces. Throughout the ground floor there is under floor heating. The ground floor is completed by a practical utility room with external access and a cloakroom.

The first floor offers five well-proportioned bedrooms arranged around a central landing. The principal bedroom enjoys fitted storage and an en-suite bathroom featuring both a bath and double walk-in shower, while the remaining bedrooms are served by stylish and well-appointed bath and shower rooms, all with matching Porcelein tiles.

The bedrooms are bright, comfortable and beautifully presented, offering flexibility for growing families or visiting guests. A further staircase rises to the second floor where a substantial playroom and additional bedroom create an outstanding upper level.

A sweeping driveway provides extensive parking and leads to a detached double garage, while the house itself sits comfortably within established gardens that create an immediate sense of privacy and calm. Externally, the rear garden is a particular highlight. Predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by mature boundaries, it offers both privacy and space for family life. A wide brick terrace spans the rear elevation, providing an ideal setting for outdoor dining and summer entertaining.
