Property description
Currently enjoyed as a family holiday cottage, previously it was a primary residence. It is less than 15 mins drive from Jn 1 of the M27 extension of the M3; or half an hour from Southampton and Salisbury stations.
Tucked away down a tarmac no-through road stands the charming character cottage of Graylands, formerly a Foresters cottage, which has been transformed over the years into a wonderful five bedroom home with stunning views over its own gardens and then onto the Forest itself.
The inherent character charm is all consuming as you step inside, as well as its versatility of accommodation. Approaching the house from the driveway, the front door opens to a lobby which leads into the kitchen with its original fireplace, tiled floor, beamed ceiling and immense charm. Continuing, there are doors leading to both the dining room and sitting room. The sitting room evokes a period cottage with beamed ceiling and large open fireplace, perfect for winter evenings. This room then opens out into the dining/living room which spans across the back of the house with dual sliding doors opening out to the terrace, taking advantage of the views across the gardens and forest. Completing the ground floor and accentuating the flexible nature of the accommodation are two bedrooms, both overlooking the garden, an en-suite cloakroom and a wet room.
The first floor accommodation can be accessed via two separate staircases and comprises three bedrooms of which one is a single and another having a balcony. All bedrooms have views over the adjoining paddocks and further views of the open forest. A family bathroom completes the accommodation.
Outside
There is outside parking for four vehicles and double gates leading to the substantial garage, which could be used as a studio, workshop or home office (subject to the usual consents). The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn which gently slopes away from the house to adjoining paddocks and the heathland forest beyond.
Situation
Newgrounds is a small hamlet close to Godshill situated on the Western part of the New Forest National Park and provides excellent access to the open heathland and forest for walking, riding and cycling. Sandy Balls Holiday Centre is 15 minutes away by footpath (or 5 minutes by car), where there is a leisure complex, pool, restaurant, pub and shop. Godshill’s traditional pub with good food is 10 minutes walk down the lane. Fordingbridge (2 miles) provides a range of supermarkets. Health, recreational and educational facilities, with easy access to Bournemouth, Southampton and the Cathedral City of Salisbury. There are a number of good local riding stables, golf clubs and fishing in the Avon Valley.
