Owners Comments
“The peaceful setting, fabulous sunsets and wildlife are an absolute joy, watching ducklings and moorhen chicks bumbling around on the lawn. The summer months are delightful with bright and light accommodation overlooking the surrounding countryside, whilst winters are cosy and warm in front of the woodburning stove.\"
Introduction
Touchwood features stunning mature gardens extending to 1.25 acres comprising delightful gardens, an impressive west facing sun terrace and a feature natural pond hosting an abundance of wildlife. Additionally, there is a productive growing area and outbuildings including a substantial storage barn and recently constructed double garage which offers conversion potential for an annex, subject to planning permission. The well presented accommodation has been thoughtfully designed to take advantage of the spectacular farmland views via large patio doors and windows from the principal rooms. The hub of the home is the striking sitting room, triple in aspect and centred upon a feature fireplace with an inset woodburning stove. Although substantial, there is still further potential to extend, subject to planning permission, with an existing loft room that could be adapted to first floor accommodation.
The setting is idyllic, secluded yet amidst open farmland and tucked away on a private track off the village lane. Landford Wood is within the New Forest National Park and offers delightful countryside yet convenience of access and commuter routes via the A36 and A27 road links.
Description
A UPVC door and glazed side panel opens into the entrance hall which accesses all principal rooms and a loft hatch with ladder leading to the useful loft room offering excellent storage or informal accommodation. The kitchen breakfast room is beautifully designed with a range of oak, wall and base units and roll edge work tops extending into a breakfast bar for informal dining. Integrated Bosch appliances include a double oven, microwave, induction hob with extractor, dishwasher, fridge and freezer. The kitchen is supplemented by a utility room/boot room with further storage including an integrated Bosch washer/dryer and a door to the garden. The dining room is a wonderful venue for formal entertaining with large slide patio doors to the sun terrace and views to the garden and rolling countryside beyond. The sitting room is exceptional, triple in aspect with twin sets of large slide patio doors to the garden and centred upon an attractive fireplace with inset woodburning stove. There are steps down to the sitting room which is well proportioned and square with a particularly high ceiling giving this wonderful effect of serenity and space. The master bedroom is of excellent dimensions, having originally been two bedrooms and features an ensuite shower room and full width range of floor to ceiling wardrobes. Two further bedrooms, one with fitted wardrobes are served by the family bathroom which is beautifully fitted with a white suite and vanity unit.
Outside
From the private country lane, the property is approached via a large gravelled circular driveway spurring to the recently constructed detached double garage. This well constructed building features an automated door and internal door leading to a workshop and substantial cloakroom. This lends itself perfectly to the construction of a self contained annex if required, subject to planning permission.
The gardens encompass the bungalows extending to 1.25 acres and are most private with stunning views across rolling farmland to the rear. Predominantly lawned, they are studded with a variety of fruit and specimen trees including apple, plum, walnut, hazelnut and damson. There is such privacy and seclusion to the plot and a large south westerly facing patio provides the ideal resting place or entertainment venue. To the rear of the garden is a feature natural pond with a wealth of wildlife. To the side of the bungalow, is a productive area with large vegetable plot and double field gate access to a substantial barn which offers exceptional storage. There is also a large brick built shed.
