The pretty village of Burley can truly claim to be one of the New Forest s hidden gems , with tea rooms, pubs, cycle hire, gift shops and a fabulous ice cream parlour, whilst the nearby towns of Brockenhurst and Lyndhurst can both be found within 10 miles. This characterful country house, with superb views, is located along a quiet lane, with direct access to the New Forest, famed for its miles of breathtaking strolls for walkers of all ages and abilities. This cottage is also ideal for those looking to explore the area in a more leisurely manner by bicycle. Family attractions include the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu (13.5 miles), miles of stunning beaches for both families and water sports enthusiasts; and of course, Paultons Park, the home of Peppa Pig World (17 miles). In the immediate area (650 metres), the highly regarded White Buck in Burley can be found, a real destination pub serving refined classics crafted from fresh, seasonal ingredients. Upon arrival at the property, guests are greeted by a hallway that leads to the stunning garden dining room, with its glazed roof and doors leading out onto the garden. This space lends itself perfectly to a few board games, stargazing and a glass of wine after a day exploring the area. A separate dining hall, a cosy sitting room with an open fire and Smart TV, and a delightful snug area overlooking the garden (a perfect spot to relax with a good book and spot the passing New Forest ponies, deer, cattle and pigs) allow for ample space to stretch out and relax. The kitchen is well equipped and benefits from a gas fired AGA and ample work surface space to spread out whilst rustling up a sumptuous meal or preparing a packed lunch ahead of a day of activities. Completing the downstairs is a convenient WC. Guests have the use of four bedrooms, which are configured with families or groups in mind. There s a super king size, a double which is on the ground floor and two twins, all with en suites, although the double bedroom's en suite is a WC only. Three of these rooms allow guests to take full advantage of the wonderful views. Outside is a useful utility room that houses the washing machine and a separate fridge/freezer, in addition to an outside WC. The gardens are a particular feature of this wonderful property. They wrap around the house to create various areas for relaxation or play, with the main lawn leading down to a gate that leads directly out into the New Forest. A charming terrace area features garden furniture including a table and chairs, creating the most splendid space for dining alfresco whilst enjoying the vista beyond. Relax in the garden on one of the sun loungers and take a nap after lunch or find a shady spot and get stuck into a good book whilst the children play.
