Full Description: . A beautiful, peaceful location, set within the New Forest National Park (with Forest Rights conveyed in the sale), plenty of parking and a gorgeous, mature and private plot, are just a few features of this exceptional New Forest home, that has been extensively improved and enjoyed by the same family for over thirty years. Forest Edge is an idyllic New Forest cottage that has had only two families owning it in almost 100 years and is located on the edge of the original boundary of the New Forest. The current owners have loved every minute of living here, having brought up their family, improving and extending it over the years so that it fitted with their growing needs. Nowadays, it offers both spacious and flexible accommodation and has recently had a 10 panel PV (photovolotaic) system with a 13.5 kw battery pack, installed in 2024 in addition to thermal tube water system, making this charming property highly efficient for a home of this type. This heart of this gorgeous property is the open plan sitting/dining/day room and its warm (underfloor heated) travertine marble flooring. These three versatile spaces while open plan, can still be configured to create separate areas. Whichever space you are enjoying, you are treated to outstanding, elevated views over fields and the forest, often shared with a herd of local deer. From the main living space are a few steps that lead down to a stunning, vaulted extension. This impressive room has a contemporary style en-suite bath/shower room and could be a 4th bedroom, separate living space or annexe if needed. It also benefits from bi-fold doors out onto its own natural, sandstone paved terrace. The first floor lies host to three further double bedrooms (two with original fireplaces), the master with its own 4-piece en-suite bathroom and a modern family shower room. The remainder of the ground floor comprises a charming, walk-in pantry, a country style fitted kitchen/breakfast room with natural slate floor and a useful utility room/cloakroom. The kitchen has a light and airy triple aspect and has been designed to make good use of the space on offer, with a range of solid pine, antique style units with solid granite worktops, a butler sink and fantastic solid fuel Esse, range style cooker. During the winter months the sellers use solid biofuel fuel, giving this home a wonderful warmth as well as hot water. There is also a supplementary range style cooker. This impressive property further benefits from double glazing and efficient electric heaters (thermostatically controlled). Access into the gardens is via bi-fold doors from the 4th bedroom, a door from the kitchen/breakfast room and casement doors from the open plan living space. The gardens extend to two sides and have been designed to provide year round colour and texture. In all they extend to almost 0.27 acres. Adjoining the property and accessed from the living space is a fantastic raised, decked terrace, perfect for spotting the local wildlife, outdoor entertaining and alfresco dining. A five-bar gate gives access to a gravelled drive and oak-framed car port & store (with EV charge point).Water source: Direct mains water.Electricity source: National Grid.Sewerage arrangements: Private supply.
