4 bedroom detached house for sale

Set in an enviably peaceful position, Honey Lane Cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a truly secluded forest home. Nestled within a beautifully level plot of approximately two and a half acres, this charming property sits within a natural haven of tranquillity on the edge of the highly sought-after New Forest village of Burley.


Tucked away behind timber gates and surrounded by mature trees, paddocks, and landscaped gardens, the property enjoys complete privacy, making it an ideal sanctuary for those seeking calm and connection to nature. The grounds are a particular feature, offering excellent Equestrian facilities, a tennis court, heated swimming pool, and established gardens interspersed with lawns, borders, and sheltered seating areas.

The house itself is a spacious four-bedroom detached home, offering well-balanced and flexible accommodation, presented in good order throughout. The living space flows naturally, offering multiple reception rooms including a generous sitting room with full-height bay windows and French doors opening onto the gardens, a snug, dining room, and a sunroom/boot room, perfect for forest living.

The kitchen/diner is well equipped with ample storage, integrated appliances, and space for a large family table—ideal for both day-to-day living and entertaining. A large utility room and integral garage provide further practicality. Upstairs, the principal suite enjoys views over the front garden and includes an en suite shower room and built-in wardrobes. There are three further double bedrooms, one with its own en suite and dressing area, and a well-appointed family bathroom.

Outside, the sweeping gravel driveway provides ample off-road parking and is flanked by manicured lawns, mature hedging, and specimen trees, enhancing the sense of seclusion. The rear garden is entirely private, level, and thoughtfully arranged, with a generous terrace for alfresco dining beside the heated swimming pool.

The Equestrian facilities include four stables with hardstanding, a holding paddock, and a post-and-rail enclosed riding arena, along with a separate paddock and field shelter.
