" A fine example of a classic Georgian style country residence providing an impressive range of generously proportioned family accommodation approaching 10,000 sq ft incorporating a superb leisure suite, set in 9 acre grounds and enjoying a discrete position close to vibrant New Forest village.

The very well regarded village of Burley lies on the south-west fringes of the New Forest National Park which benefits from having a great community spirit whilst its thriving centre includes a post office, store, variety of shops, eateries and public houses, doctorn++s surgery, church and golf club. More widespread facilities can be found at neighbouring Ringwood and Brockenhurst, the latter with its own mainline railway station and reputable sixth form college. In addition to the excellent village primary school are a number of excellent private schools in the vicinity including Hordle Walhampton in Lymington, Forres Sandle Manor and Moyles Court near Ringwood, and DurlstonCourt and Ballard near New Milton.

Burley is exceptionally well placed for journeying outside of the forest with the A31 being only minutes away and which links directly with the M27 and M3 for access to the commercial centres of Bournemouth and Southampton both with their regional airports, the cathedral cities of Salisbury and Winchester, London and further afield. Whilst the open forest quite literally wraps itself around this idyllic spot making this an ideal location for the country and sporting enthusiast, it is also exceptionally well placed for the coast too together with the world renowned sailing available in The Solent.
