The kitchen is complemented by a good utility room and separate lobby with ample space for coats and muddy boots.
An attractive staircase and light and airy landing lead the four well proportioned bedrooms. The master bedroom benefits from a large and versatile ensuite shower room and there is a good sized family bathroom.

The property is quietly located towards the edge of the popular New Forest National Park village of Lover where there is an active community around the church, the village hall and two nearby well regarded pubs; the Cuckoo and the Kings Head. There are primary schools near-by at Morgans Vale and Hale, a village store at Woodfalls whilst the neighbouring village of Downton provides a range of further facilities including primary and secondary schooling, shops, a library, medical and health facilities, a cafe and selection of public houses. The village lies equidistant between the Avonside town of Fordingbridge and Cathedral City of Salisbury, the latter home to extensive educational, recreational, leisure and shopping facilities which combine with a twice weekly market. Communications in the area are good and there are mainline railway stations with regular services to London Waterloo in Salisbury and Southampton, international airports at Bournemouth and Southampton and convenient road access onto the A36/M27 for the M3 and London. The outdoor enthusiast is equally well catered for with glorious walking, riding and cycling in the surrounding countryside and New Forest, and a number of golf courses nearby including Hamptworth and Bramshaw.
