About this property
Set in the charming hamlet of Downton, this spacious, pet-friendly home is a great base for friends and family looking to explore the Hampshire coast. Start with a walk along the scenic paths towards Milford-on-Sea, taking in sea views and fresh coastal air before stopping at the nearby pub for a drink or meal. For a dose of history, visit Hurst Castle and Spit (3 miles), a fortress built by Henry VIII in 1544. Lymington (5 miles) is another worthwhile destination, with its attractive waterfront and opportunities to browse the town before catching the ferry to Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight for a day exploring the island. If you fancy heading inland, Beaulieu and the New Forest National Park (10 miles) are well worth a visit. Discover woodland trails, open heathland and picturesque villages, with plenty of walks with your dog.
This property combines generous family accommodation with the added flexibility of a self-contained annexe. The annexe has its own double bedroom, lounge, kitchenette and shower room, making it a useful option for extended family or guests who would appreciate a little more privacy. In the main house, a bright open-plan lounge and dining area connects with a fully equipped modern kitchen, complete with a breakfast bar and direct access to the garden and pool. A separate games room adds another place for the group to gather, with a sofa bed that can accommodate extra guests or give children their own base. Another double bedroom rounds off the ground floor. Upstairs, three further bedrooms include a king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room, a double and a king-size with an additional single bed and a built in wardrobe. A sleek, tiled family bathroom completes the interior layout.
Outside, the large rear garden is mainly laid to lawn, with lots of space for outdoor games and time together in the sun. A heated plunge pool is set within a raised terrace overlooking the garden, creating a spot for a dip on warmer days. Off-road parking is available for up to six cars. Please note: There is a pond in the garden, so children must be supervised at all times.
