The Property

Set in stunning gardens and grounds of circa 1.45 acres and constructed from brick with a clay tiled roof Redlynch Lodge is approached from the road via a gravel drive which leads up to the front and side of the house. Offering a tremendous country lifestyle the property is a significant village house with the addition of a large two bedroom annexe suitable for a number of uses.

Located in the popular village of Redlynch on the north western edge of the New Forest this wonderful family home has undergone a comprehensive program of refurbishment offering an eclectic mixture of modern meets traditional design and in doing so maintaining large proportions and many of the original period features such as high skirting boards and ceilings and sash windows with working shutters.

Large windows are located throughout the house and ensure that the property is light and airy. The ground floor has two receptions to the front of the property both with working fires and timber floors. The wonderful cooks kitchen is located to the rear of the property and has plenty of storage with above and below counter storage with inset appliances. A large island provides excellent food preparation space on the polished granite worktop, a separate counter has an inset gas hob. The kitchen is stunning and located within a large living space incorporating space for a kitchen table and for sitting soft, glazed doors lead out to paved terrace and the garden beyond. The ground floor is completed by a boot room, garden room, possible gun room and a WC.

Upstairs there are three double rooms all of which have their own bathrooms and the principal of which enjoys its own dressing room. As one might hope with a house like this, there is a large cellar which houses the boiler and good storage space perhaps for wine!

The Annexe

Attached to the main house is a very well presented two story brick and tile cottage which has been used as spill over accommodation for the main house and for short term lets. The Annexe is a real feature and currently houses a laundry room, study, bedroom, well appointed kitchen, and a large sitting room with space for a dining table and a lovely bay window with views out to the garden.

The lower gardens are orientated to the south east and are compartmentalised to include a landscaped circular lawn below the kitchen with decked entertaining area, a pedestrian gate leads through to a large rectangular lawn possibly large enough for a tennis court.
