About
A fabulous opportunity to purchase this exceptionally spacious and beautifully presented five-bedroom residence on Knightwood Avenue, enjoying far-reaching views across open arable farmland and secluded woodland.
Ideally located within easy reach of Lyndhurst High Street, this impressive chain-free property features a recently refurbished swimming pool, a generous double garage, and expansive family living accommodation throughout.
The front door opens into a spacious entrance hall with a staircase to the first floor.
The ground floor offers a versatile, open-plan layout comprising a generous living room, dining room, and a conservatory extension.
The conservatory has sliding French doors giving direct access to the rear garden, creating a practical space for everyday family use and entertaining.
The dining room flows back towards the entrance hall and leads into a well-sized kitchen, which overlooks the rear garden and connects to a separate utility room for additional storage and appliance space.
On the first floor, a large landing serves four double bedrooms, each with pleasant views across the surrounding countryside.
A well-appointed family bathroom supports this level, with sensible scope to update to individual taste if desired.
The second floor is arranged as an impressive fifth bedroom suite with substantial floor area and an adjoining bathroom, suitable as a principal suite, guest accommodation, or a self-contained space for older children or an au pair.
Externally, the property benefits from a broad frontage with driveway parking for multiple vehicles.
A detached double garage with electricity sits at the end of the drive, offering secure parking and useful storage or workshop potential.
To the rear, a spacious walled garden provides good privacy and includes a recently refurbished heated swimming pool, with surrounding terrace and level lawn forming a convenient, low-maintenance outdoor area.
The house is positioned at the end of peaceful Knightwood Avenue and is a short walk from Lyndhurst High Street, which offers independent shops, cafés, pubs, and everyday amenities.
The New Forest National Park is close by, with extensive walking and cycling routes.
Overall, the property combines generous proportions, a practical layout, and clear potential for modernisation or refurbishment—presenting a rare opportunity to secure a well-located family home in one of the New Forest’s most sought-after areas.
