Property description
A stunning contemporary home designed in the style of a traditional New Forest cottage, but beautifully arranged to blend modern living with a period feel.
Owners Comments
\"We have thoroughly enjoyed designing and styling Chapel house having invested heavily in its furnishings and fittings to become our ideal family home, being within walking distance of many of the village's traditional amenities.\"
\"Chapel House has been ideal for our horses. The paddocks have been well drained, the stables and tack room are of excellent dimensions and open New Forest riding is just yards away.\"
Introduction
Chapel House was constructed and styled by our clients in 2014 to a high specification to include striking décor, a handcrafted \"Willow Maddison\" bespoke kitchen and luxurious sanitary ware. Although suited to a contemporary lifestyle with an impressive open plan living space, the property manages to enjoy many traditional features including sash windows, woodburning stoves, high skirting boards and oak flooring.
It is the aspect of Chapel House which is most impressive set within grounds of 1.4 acres with extensive surrounding views of open countryside and woodland from every window. The gardens comprise formal lawns, generous parking and a large well drained and enclosed paddock with an excellent stable block. Additionally there is a useful office/workshop space with potential to convert the adjoining triple garaging into a self contained annex, subject to planning permission.
Situated in the heart of the popular New Forest village of Landford, Chapel House is discretely positioned but is in easy walking distance of the well regarded local primary school, shop and post office, choice of pubs and restaurant as well as the open New forest. For the equestrian enthusiast, the paddock, stabling and excellent riding access is of particular interest.
