The situation
Pikes Hill Avenue is renowned as one of Lyndhurst’s most prestigious addresses, being located in the very heart of New Forest National Park, just a short distance from the open forest.
Lyndhurst High Street (0.7 miles) offers a diverse range of general and specialist shops, together with a popular primary school, historic church and visitor centre.
The neighbouring village of Brockenhurst offers additional facilities and a mainline rail connection to London/Waterloo (approximately 90 minutes).
For the yachtsman, the Georgian market town of Lymington (10 miles) offers a range of sailing facilities and access to the open waters of the Solent, whilst the historic and much famed village of Beaulieu is only 7 miles away.
The M27 (Junction 1) at nearby Cadnam affords easy access to both Bournemouth, Southampton, Salisbury and the M3 Motorway network.
The property
Built circa 1922, Magnolia House offers an elegant white rendered brick façade and casement windows with exposed brick quoin surrounds.
The accommodation is arranged across two floors and includes three fine reception rooms and a kitchen/breakfast room that opens into a family area overlooking the swimming pool and gardens. The first floor offers a principal bedroom with en-suite facilities, as well as five additional bedrooms served by two bathrooms.
A welcoming reception lobby opens into the main reception hallway, which in turn leads to the principal living spaces and a turning stairwell to the first floor.
The superb 24’ drawing room benefits from an open fireplace and delightful views across the principal garden.
A useful multi-functional family room is set across from the drawing room with views across the swimming pool.
The formal dining room also overlooks the pool area and offers a serving hatch to the adjoining kitchen/breakfast room, which is fitted with a range of wall and base units, work surfaces and built-in appliances, including a built-in double oven and with a gas hob set under an extractor canopy fan. The kitchen area also features a large walk-in shelved larder and is open to a family/sitting area where double doors open out onto the rear terrace, swimming pool and gardens.
At the end of the hallway is a door opening into a lovely, double aspect garden room which overlooks and opens out onto the side and rear terraced areas.
Further rooms to this level include a utility room with space and plumbing for appliances and a cloakroom set off the main reception hallway.
To the first floor, a landing area with walk-in storage area and airing cupboard links to the double main bedroom, which offers excellent en-suite facilities, as well as wonderful, elevated views across the grounds and pool area.
There are five other bedrooms to this level, all of which overlook the different aspects of the gardens and grounds. These five bedrooms are served by two separate bathrooms both benefiting from Aqualisa power showers.
Grounds & gardens
The property is accessed via double gates opening across a cattle grid onto the driveway, with an accompanying pedestrian gate adjacent. The driveway provides off road parking for multiple vehicles and access to the detached double garage, featuring a storeroom which could provide accommodation when accessed by an external stairwell. Set behind the garage are a couple of useful timber sheds.
The grounds associated with the property extend to approximately three quarters of an acre, with the majority of the gardens enjoying a southerly aspect and sunny orientation.
Adjoining and extending across the property's southerly elevation is a paved seating terrace within which is situated a heated swimming pool.
Set in front of the terraced area is a large expanse of lawn interspersed with a variety of ornamental trees and shrubs including spectacular rhododendrons, camellias, magnolia and azaleas, which ensure all year-round colour and interest. At the end of the lawn is an attractive ornamental pond and water feature set against a backdrop of mature planting.
Located behind the house is an additional area of lawn garden incorporating raised beds and a small kitchen garden area.
The boundaries to the property are well defined by established hedge and fence borders, affording the occupants a high degree of privacy and seclusion.
Nb. The property benefits from additional gated access off Pikes Hill Avenue leading to a separate parking area and a large, detached outbuilding comprising a double and single stable, as well as a tack room and hay loft. This excellent outbuilding offers the potential for conversion for a number of uses (subject to necessary planning consents being granted).
We understand that the property also benefits from some forest rights including those of pasture and mast.
