Sandy Lane, St . Ives BH24 2LG

A superb four bedroom detached residence set within one of the area’s most desirable locations. St Ives sits on the Hampshire/Dorset border and offers an excellent range of local amenities, including a recreation park, tennis court, bowling club, doctor’s surgery and a Marks & Spencer convenience store. The popular Moors Valley Country Park and Avon Heath visitor centres are close by, while the A31 and A338 provide easy commuter access to Ringwood and Ferndown, both of which offer extensive shopping, leisure and educational facilities. Bournemouth (12 miles), Southampton (16 miles) and Salisbury (18 miles) are all within comfortable reach, and the New Forest National Park along with award winning South Coast beaches are only a short drive away.

The property occupies an impressive plot of over half an acre, approached via a long, winding driveway that meanders through a lightly wooded front garden. This secluded setting ensures the house remains hidden from the road, creating a wonderful sense of privacy, peace and tranquillity.

Inside, the home offers an abundance of generously sized reception rooms, each full of charm and character. The sitting room, drawing room, dining room, conservatory and office provide exceptional flexibility for modern living, while the spacious kitchen/breakfast room stretches across the rear of the property with direct access to the garden. This informal dining space is complemented by a well proportioned utility room with ample room for laundry appliances.

Upstairs, the first floor accommodation continues to impress. All bedrooms are notably spacious, with one currently arranged as a dressing room, leaving four substantial double bedrooms. The master bedroom benefits from an en suite, a further guest bedroom also enjoys its own en suite, and the remaining two bedrooms are served by a family bathroom.

Outside, the gardens and surrounding grounds are truly breathtaking—an exceptional level of tranquillity rarely found in such a convenient location. A well positioned summerhouse offers the perfect spot to enjoy the sunshine, while the garage provides excellent parking or storage options. The extensive front garden ensures complete seclusion along with generous parking facilities.

Viewing of this remarkable property is highly recommended.
