About this property
A beautifully positioned four-bedroom detached house occupying an enviable plot at North Weirs, adjoining the open Forest, having been refurbished and remodelled it includes a tandem garage and delightful gardens, whilst being within easy reach of Brockenhurst village centre and open forest.
Five Thorns Cottage enjoys one of Brockenhurst's most sought-after settings, tucked away at North Weirs on the very edge of the open Forest, where ponies graze freely just beyond the garden gate and miles of unspoilt heathland and ancient woodland stretch away from the doorstep. The property carries Forest Rights, including the historic Common of Mast, a privilege dating back centuries which permits the turning out of pigs during pannage season a wonderful and increasingly rare connection to the traditions of the New Forest.
The house itself has been remodelled and refurbished to offer wonderfully light and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors.
The front door opens to an entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor, leading through to an inner hall serving the ground floor accommodation.
The heart of the home is a superb open plan living space of impressive proportions, unified by oak flooring throughout and enjoying a delightful outlook over the gardens on both sides.
The sitting and dining area centres on a fireplace with a wood burning stove and features French doors to the garden, while wide openings flow through to the kitchen and breakfast area, creating a wonderfully sociable space for family life and entertaining. Bi-fold doors open the room fully to the paved terrace beneath a glazed veranda, effortlessly blending indoor and outdoor living through the warmer months.
The kitchen is comprehensively fitted with a range of shaker-style cabinetry beneath contrasting work surfaces, incorporating a central island with breakfast bar, a range-style cooker with extractor over, Bosch dishwasher and an American-style fridge freezer, with windows on two aspects framing views of the garden.
A separate utility room provides space and plumbing for laundry appliances, and the ground floor is completed by a study which could be used as a fifth bedroom or snug, a shower room, a useful coats cupboard and understairs storage cupboard.
On the first floor, a landing with built-in storage serves four well-proportioned bedrooms.
The principal bedroom enjoys an abundance of wardrobe space, en-suite bathroom and a pleasant leafy outlook from front to back aspect.
The second bedroom, with its own en-suite shower room, features French doors and a Juliet balcony overlooking the gardens and the open forest beyond.
Two further bedrooms complete the arrangement on the first floor, both with pleasant outlooks and one with an en-suite shower room. There is scope to arrange the accommodation flexibly to suit family or guest requirements.
Outside
The property is approached through a five-bar gate onto a generous shared gravelled driveway and leading to the tandem garage, an excellent space with an up-and-over door, power, light, and a personal door and window to the rear.
The gardens are a particular feature, wrapping around the house on all sides and laid predominantly to lawn, enclosed by mature hedging and close board fencing which afford a good degree of privacy and seclusion. A paved terrace extends across the rear elevation beneath the glazed veranda, creating a lovely spot for alfresco dining and entertaining, while a gate opens from the garden to the shared driveway, giving direct access towards the open Forest beyond.
Note: The shared driveway belongs to the house Bramleys to the rear of the Five Thorns Cottage but the maintenance is shared between the two properties.
