The combination of entertainment and tranquillity is spot on.This home is perfect for large families, multi-generational gatherings, and groups of friends seeking a luxurious New Forest retreat with a blend of relaxation, adventure, and plenty to keep children entertained.

Step through the front door and into a warm, welcoming space where soft tones, thoughtful décor, and homely touches create instant calm. At the heart of the house is the open-plan lounge, kitchen, and dining area – a sociable hub where conversations flow easily from the breakfast bar to the dining table. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to cater for a crowd, while the dining space is perfect for family feasts or board game nights.After dinner, sink into the cosy living room with its inviting fireplace or sneak away through a hidden door to the snug – an intimate nook for reading, coffee, or quiet reflection. For a burst of energy, head to the games room, where a pool table, darts, and table tennis offer entertainment for all ages. A children’s play den nearby keeps little ones occupied, ensuring the grown-ups get some well-earned downtime.Upstairs, five beautifully designed king-size bedrooms await, each with its own individual style. Two bedrooms feature en-suite shower rooms, while a sleek family bathroom with a roll-top bath provides a touch of luxury. For added flexibility, one of the beds can be arranged as a twin.

The outside space is just as inviting. Throw open the patio doors and step into a garden designed for relaxation and fun. Days flow seamlessly between the hot tub, the covered garden seating area, and long family lunches by the BBQ. Children can spend hours bouncing on the trampoline, whizzing down the slide, or swinging beneath the trees, while adults can soak up the peace of the lawn or raise a glass under the stars. Private parking for four cars and an EV charging point ensure convenience for all guests.
