A family home set in the peaceful village of Ashurst, located within the New Forest National Park, has gone on sale for £850,000. This detached property, offered by Henshaw Fox Estate Agents, boasts direct views over the open forest and promises a tranquil lifestyle in one of Hampshire’s most desirable rural areas.

The residence combines classic character with adaptable living spaces across three floors. Its position on the edge of the open forest makes it particularly attractive to those looking for a blend of countryside serenity and everyday convenience.

Steve Gready, Partner at Henshaw Fox Estate Agents, said: “Set in the sought-after New Forest village of Ashurst and enviably positioned overlooking the open forest, this traditional detached family residence sits in the heart of the New Forest National Park. Arranged over three floors, the property offers versatile accommodation and is ideal for those seeking a refined lifestyle in a peaceful rural setting.”

Inside, the home begins with a solid oak front door leading into a porch and hallway. A study lies to the right, which could serve as a home office, guest bedroom, or additional reception space. To the left is a well-lit sitting room, featuring a dual-aspect view and a red brick fireplace with a log-burning stove providing a cosy focal point.

The kitchen, styled in a traditional cottage fashion, includes oak-fronted units, granite-effect worktops, and both an Aga and a separate double oven. Ample space is available for white goods. Leading off from the kitchen is an extended dining and reception area connecting to the sitting room. Glazed French doors open onto a private rear garden, making the space ideal for entertaining or enjoying the outdoors.

On the first floor are three double bedrooms, one single bedroom, a family bathroom, and a separate cloakroom. The top floor features a further double bedroom with dual aspect windows, a cloakroom, and storage space, offering a quiet retreat from the rest of the house.

Outside, a gated gravel driveway provides room for several vehicles and leads to a detached garage. The garden is enclosed with mature hedging, trees, and carefully tended borders. A well-kept lawn is complemented by a greenhouse, timber games room, workshop, garden shed, children’s playhouse, and wood store. A butler’s sink with a hot tap adds a practical touch to the outdoor area.

Secure gates on either side of the house allow convenient access to the rear garden, which also features a paved seating area close to the house, ideal for relaxing or dining outdoors.

The home’s location offers immediate access to New Forest walking trails, local schools, and amenities, making it particularly appealing to families and buyers looking for rural charm without sacrificing connectivity.
