A superbly positioned four bedroom detached Forest home with an enviable plot and generous accommodation set in the highly sought after village of East Boldre. The property is positioned on a quiet road a few yards from the open Forest and enjoys far reaching views. There is a large parking area with separate access to the rear of the garden which could prove ideal for buyers wanting to accommodate a boat or store equestrian equipment. Planning has recently been approved to extend the property into the loft to create a large double bedroom with ensuite.

Bracken Lodge is situated close to the open forest and Hatchet Pond within close proximity of Beaulieu village centre and Bucklers Hard. The Georgian market town of Lymington lies to the west with its marinas and yacht clubs. There is also a popular marina at nearby Buckler’s Hard.

The sitting room has two windows which overlook the garden and there is an further reception room which provides flexible use as either a secondary sitting room, study or fourth bedroom. The kitchen is a superb size and is open plan to a dining area which in turn leads to the conservatory/garden room. There is also a useful and very spacious utility room and separate cloakroom from the hallway.

The size of the property rivals many four bedroom houses with a traditional layout and this is evident on the first floor. There are three large double bedrooms and an incredibly spacious family bathroom. The guest bedroom is conveniently served by an ensuite shower room. There is recently approved planning to extend into the loft to create a spacious double bedroom with ensuite. Overall this is a lovely family home with a real sense of space and light throughout presenting very balanced accommodation.

To the front of the property the house is screened from the lane by a retaining fence and there is gated off street parking for several vehicles to the side. A pathway leads to the front door and gated access leads to the formal gardens.

The garden has a landscaped patio which provides a lovely entertainment terrace. The main garden is laid to lawn with mature planting surrounding and to the rear of the garden there is a secondary parking area and several outbuildings.
