One of the New Forest's hidden gems. A beautiful Grade II Listed farmhouse on the edge of Exbury that has been sensitively updated by the current owners and now offers extensive accommodation of over 6,200 square feet including excellent home office space. The house sits centrally in its 12.06 acres of grounds which include outbuildings, gardens, swimming pool, paddocks and woodland.
The property enjoys a private setting on the edge of the popular village of Exbury, which lies on the south-eastern fringes of the New Forest, bordered by the Beaulieu River and Solent shore. The house is a short walk from Lepe Beach and surrounded by the open spaces of the New Forest National Park.
The property is within easy reach of the historic village of Beaulieu (4 miles) which features a pretty high street steeped in history, with a range of local amenities and facilities including a hotel, restaurants, tearooms, a garden centre and a primary school.
The bustling forest village of Brockenhurst (12 miles) offers a mainline station linking to London Waterloo (approximately 90 minutes). Approximately 12 miles to the south is the much famed Georgian market town of Lymington with its extensive yachting facilities, famous Saturday county market and ferry service to Yarmouth, Isle of Wight.
The property has undergone a significant programme of restoration and refurbishment by the current owners resulting in what is now arguably one of the finest dwellings in the area.
Internally, the main house offers a good configuration of flexible, well-appointed accommodation which is further enhanced by a number of converted outbuildings providing in total around 10,000 sq. ft. of exceptional living, working and recreational space.
To the ground floor, the principle living rooms comprise a triple aspect drawing room with feature open fireplace and adjoining snug, a double aspect sitting room with exposed beams and a formal dining room with feature wood burning stove and Oak flooring. Of particular note is the wonderful farmhouse kitchen/breakfast room which very much forms the hub of the home with an impressive Minstrels gallery and open vaulted ceiling above.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of bespoke units, an Aga cooker and slate flooring and with the other principle rooms features doors opening onto the rear terrace and garden. Further rooms to this level include a utility room, games room which currently houses a full size snooker table, snug, boot room and wc.
Adjoining the games room is a large workshop which in turn adjoins a fantastic two storey triple aspect annexe, currently arranged as a home office, with vaulted ceiling and private balcony offering options for a variety of usages (subject to the necessary planning consents being granted).
To the first floor, the Minstrels gallery cleverly incorporates a snug in the front gable window. The charming master bedroom features a designated dressing area, built-in wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom and enjoys delightful views across the grounds. There are a further four bedrooms to this level, all of which have fitted wardrobes two further bathrooms and a good size office with views across the garden.
From the first floor landing a stairwell leads up to the second floor where there is an additional bedroom and bathroom.
The property is approached by a long sweeping driveway leading to an expansive gravel driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles, with further parking available to the side
The property sits centrally in beautiful grounds comprising areas of formal lawn gardens, paddocks and woodland interspersed with a variety of planted borders and mature trees and shrubs providing year-round colour.
A fantastic slate sun terrace adjoins and extends across the rear of the house, overlooking the delightful mature gardens and providing an ideal space for entertaining and outdoor dining. Also set to the rear is a walled garden containing a recently installed outdoor swimming pool. There is also a natural pond at the bottom of the garden.
To the western elevation there are extensive outbuildings including a large barn, garage, stables and a further small barn.
In total, the gardens and grounds extend to approximately 12.06 acres.
Leave the M27 at Junction 2 and continue along the A326 following the signs to Beaulieu. After approximately six miles turn right at the Dibden roundabout onto the B3054 and follow the signs to Exbury Gardens. Continue through the village of Exbury following the road to the right and after about half a mile the driveway to East Hill Farm will be found on the left opposite Green Cottages, and marked by a 'Footpath' sign.
