Brooklands, Gosport Lane, Lyndhurst, Hampshire

SK Property Group are privileged to be exclusively appointed on this beautifully presented residence, set amidst the picturesque surroundings of Lyndhurst. Often regarded as the historic heart and unofficial capital of the New Forest, Lyndhurst occupies an enviable position at the very centre of this remarkable National Park. Surrounded by ancient woodland, open heath and miles of uninterrupted countryside, the village offers a rare combination of rural beauty, heritage and convenience.

An excellent opportunity to acquire a beautifully proportioned three-bedroom ground floor apartment, forming part of an elegant Victorian country home built in 1869 and surrounded by approximately 1.6 acres of mature communal gardens, with the open forest lying within approximately a quarter of a mile.

Inside

The apartment extends to approximately 1,246 sq. ft and possesses a particularly appealing combination of period character, generous accommodation and considered modern improvements. High ceilings, oak flooring and a combination of sash and replacement double-glazed windows, together with the warmth of a log-burning stove, lend the accommodation an understated elegance.

The property is accessed via a vaulted communal foyer, which leads to the private entrance of the apartment. An oak-floored hall provides a refined introduction to the accommodation and access to each of the principal rooms.

The drawing-room-style sitting room is an especially attractive reception space, enjoying a delightful outlook across the front gardens. High ceilings and a handsome fireplace housing a log-burning stove create a warm and inviting atmosphere, whilst a connecting door leads through to the bespoke kitchen.

The kitchen has been fitted to a high standard, with quartz work surfaces and a comprehensive range of integrated appliances, including hob, extractor, oven, microwave oven, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. Its thoughtful arrangement provides a highly practical space, well suited to both everyday living and entertaining.

There are three generous double bedrooms, each retaining the dimensions one would expect of a property of this period. The principal bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes, whilst the second bedroom is distinguished by its own fireplace and double-glazed doors opening directly onto a charming seating area.

A beautifully appointed family bathroom and separate shower room complete the accommodation.

Outside

A substantial communal driveway, laid to tarmac, approaches the property and provides extensive parking for residents and guests.

A detached garage provides a generous level of ancillary space, with the central bay allocated to the property. In addition, the apartment benefits from a private cellar storage room, complete with power and light, providing valuable additional space for practical storage.

The communal gardens extend to approximately 1.6 acres, providing a mature and secluded backdrop to the house, with a number of quiet areas in which to sit and enjoy the surroundings, including the use of an outside sauna. Sweeping lawns are complemented by established shrubs and planting, whilst a charming summer house, partly walled vegetable gardens and two greenhouses add considerable character and a distinctly traditional country-house feel.
