Dock Lane, Beaulieu

Some homes are about the house. Others are about the setting. Timberyard Cottage is about both.

Set along the sought-after Dock Lane in Beaulieu, Timberyard Cottage is a four-bedroom home that combines the warmth and character of a traditional cottage with a relaxed approach to modern family living.

From the moment you arrive, the house feels private and inviting, sitting within established gardens and surrounded by the natural beauty of the New Forest.

Inside, the accommodation is thoughtfully arranged across two floors, with a layout that works equally well for everyday family life and entertaining.

At the heart of the house is the kitchen and dining room, a naturally sociable space centred around an Aga. It is a room designed to be lived in somewhere for slow breakfasts, family meals and evenings gathered around the table. A separate utility room sits conveniently alongside, keeping the practical elements of daily life neatly tucked away.

The living room provides a more relaxed space to unwind, while a dedicated garden room creates another connection with the outdoors and offers a wonderfully versatile space throughout the seasons.

For those who work from home, the office/study provides a quiet and separate workspace, away from the main living areas.

Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom with its own en-suite, creating a private retreat away from the main living spaces. The remaining bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests or additional workspace.

Throughout the house, there is an emphasis on comfort, natural light and connection to the gardens. The result is a home that feels relaxed and practical without losing the character and individuality that make a cottage in this setting so appealing.

Outside, the established gardens provide a private backdrop to the house, with space to dine, entertain or simply enjoy the peace and changing seasons. The garden room extends the living space beyond the main house, creating an especially useful link between indoors and out.

The location completes the picture. Dock Lane is one of Beaulieu’s most desirable addresses, close to the Beaulieu River and village, with the wider New Forest providing an exceptional landscape for walking, cycling and enjoying the outdoors.

Timberyard Cottage offers something increasingly rare: A genuinely characterful home, thoughtfully arranged for modern life, in a setting that needs very little introduction.
