Mill Lane, Burley, Ringwood, Hampshire, BH24

A beautifully presented country home combining classic country charm with modern day living.

Description

A charming timber-framed covered porch and front door opens into an exceptionally spacious entrance hall. This welcoming area features wooden flooring throughout, exposed wooden beams, and a staircase rising to the first floor. Just off the hallway is a bright and airy sitting room, also finished with wooden flooring, creating a warm and inviting space to relax. Further along the hall is a generously sized boot room with access to the front of the property. With ample storage and a sink, this practical space is ideal for returning from countryside walks with muddy boots and dogs. A shower room and airing cupboard are also accessed from the entrance hall. Continuing through the property beyond the staircase, you enter a large playroom with French doors that open onto the garden. The playroom also provides access to a study. Adjacent to this area is a utility room, providing excellent storage and allowing the laundry area to remain separate from the main kitchen. From the entrance hall you are led into what is arguably the most impressive room in the house, the expansive kitchen and family room. Finished throughout with Amtico flooring and thoughtfully extended, this spectacular space forms the central hub of the home. The shaker style kitchen with walk-in pantry offers a range of base and wall units alongside integrated appliances as well as space for a large American-style fridge/freezer. A central island provides additional preparation space, incorporating an induction hob and further storage. An inset sink is perfectly positioned beneath a striking oculus window, adding character and natural light. Two sets of Crittall-style double-glazed doors open on to the garden and patio areas on either side of the room, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. Beyond the kitchen is the stunning vaulted atrium-style family area. Bi-fold doors span much of the rear elevation, with additional full-height glazing that floods the room with natural light and frames beautiful views down the length of the garden. A brick-built inglenook style fireplace provides a striking focal point, perfectly capturing the essence of country living while retaining all the conveniences of modern design.

Stairs from the main hallway lead to a generous first-floor landing with access to all bedrooms. The principal bedroom is an impressive suite featuring air-conditioning and an ideally designed dressing room with wall to-wall built-in wardrobes. The suite also benefits from an en suite wet room. Bedroom two is an excellent guest suite, with built-in wardrobes, a large window overlooking the garden and access to a modern en suite. Two further double bedrooms are located at the rear of the property, both enjoying pleasant views over the garden and benefitting from built-in wardrobes. A stylish family shower room completes the first-floor accommodation. Separate from the main house is a versatile home office. Currently used as both an office and gym, it provides an ideal space for those working from home while remaining completely detached from the main house. The room also benefits from kitchen-style units with a sink along one wall, offering excellent potential for conversion into separate guest accommodation.

The property is approached via a private gravel track just off Mill Lane, leading to electric gates. A sweeping gravel driveway leads to the triple garage positioned to the left and the main house to the right. The driveway offers ample parking for several vehicles and creates an impressive sense of arrival. The property is enclosed by a combination of walling, fencing and mature boundary hedging, which enhances both privacy and security. Set within just over an acre, the property enjoys a wonderfully private setting with no immediate neighbouring properties. The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and include a summer house and playhouse, providing an excellent space for family life, outdoor entertaining and recreation. A generous patio terrace wraps around the house, with the main seating and entertaining area positioned directly outside the extended kitchen/family room. Accessed via bi-fold doors, as well as several sets of French doors, this space creates a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living, ideal for social gatherings and summer dining. The gardens are beautifully complemented by a selection of mature trees and raised beds, established planting and a greenhouse, creating a wonderfully green and tranquil setting that enhances the property’s countryside feel. Toward one area of the garden, a charming decking space surrounded by planting offers a peaceful spot for relaxing or enjoying evening drinks. In addition to the triple garage, the outbuilding also incorporates a range of useful storage.
