SELLER INSIGHT

“Having previously lived in nearby Brockenhurst for twenty years, we moved to East Boldre in July 2004, and we’ve loved living at Little Acre,” say the owners. “East Boldre is a small, quiet hamlet on the outskirts of Beaulieu, but it benefits from having amenities such as a local shop and Post Office, a very popular pub, an active village hall and a small garage, w hich is great for car repairs/ servicing/MOTs etc. – best of all, these are all under a five-minute walk from the house.”

“One of the things we’ve particularly enjoyed is the property’s quiet location and pri vacy – we hardly ever need to draw the curtains! We’re nestled in the New Forest National Park so our surroundings are very picturesque and it’s a real haven for wildlife. We love listening to the early morning birdsong, watching the visiting pheasants, and gazing out at the beautiful sunsets and amazingly starry skies – there’s very little light pollution here. It’s lovely, too, having New Forest ponies, cows and donkeys (and their young in the spring) as regular visitors outside our gate, and the fact we’re just a short stroll from the open forest has been a real bonus for dog walking.”

“Little Acre is a very comfortable home and very flexible too, being easy to m anage when there are just the two of us, but with its generously proportioned rooms it easily accommodates large groups of visiting family and friends. Over time we’ve modernised it and kept it well maintained, so it’s in really good order throughout, but there’s definitely lots of scope for the new owners to put their own stamp on it.”

“One of the loveliest features of the property has to be the garden. It was beautifully designed long before we came here so the planting is wonderfully mature, which creates a gorgeous outlook. We love spending time out there and it’s been an absolute paradise for our four grandchildren. They’ve spent many school holidays here, often spending hours playing hide-and-seek and making dens, and they’ve loved taking turns on the ride-on tractor mower!”

“The conservatory is probably our favourite room; we spend a lot of our time in there because it’s a room in which we can feel part of the garden, whatever the weather. It’s also a great space for entertaining as it connects to the large dining room.”

“The location is wonderfully rural, but we’re by no means isolated. East Bo ldre is just six miles from Brockenhurst, which has a mainline station that operates a fast service into Waterloo. We’re also just six miles from the market town of Lymington, seven from Hythe, nine from Ly ndhurst and it takes just twenty minutes to drive into Southampton.”

“‘Both the house and garden are very conducive to entertaining so we’ve been able to have lots of celebrations and large get-togethers with friends and family here.”

“We have so many very happy memories of our time in East Boldre and it will be a wrench to leave,” say the owners. “However, we realise with our advancing years and strong network of contacts elsewhere, now is the time to plan for the future.”*
