An Attractive Family House With Lovely Gardens, Paddock, Stables On The Edge Of The New Forest

Hillcrest is a house with plenty of character, set within delightful gardens and grounds and approached via a long gravel driveway which creates a rather lovely ’sense of arrival’. The property offers five bedrooms and four flexible reception rooms with traditional styling throughout.

The main formal reception room is the generous, 22ft drawing room, with its dual aspect and fireplace fitted with a logburner. A glass door leads to the sunny conservatory, providing further space in which to relax and a vantage point to enjoy the beautiful gardens, with French doors opening to a patio area for al fresco dining. Further reception rooms include the dining room and the relaxed sitting room, which adjoins the modern kitchen with its white farmhouse-style fitted units, butler sink and integrated appliances. The neighbouring utility room offers additional space for home storage and appliances.

Upstairs there are five comfortable bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a private home study. The principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom with an over-bath shower, while three further bedrooms benefit from built-in cupboard space. The first floor also has a family bathroom.
