The sitting room is located at the rear of the property which has recently been extended to include a large garden orangery creating a warm and sunny entertaining area with doors out to the garden patio. The kitchen/breakfast room is comprehensively fitted with a range of beautiful bespoke Raynsford units and provides a generous work surface area and space for a breakfast table. The separate utility room provides further storage and space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer.The dining room has a double height, vaulted ceiling and a glazed mezzanine walkway above. An archway door leads through to the study which could also be used as a ground floor bedroom if required.

On the first floor of the main house there are four double bedrooms - one with an en suite - and two bathrooms. The main bedroom is generously proportioned and has a vaulted ceiling with exposed timber work, Juliet balcony and feature window. There is a luxurious en suite shower room with a separate freestanding clawfoot bath and dressing area with built-in wardrobes. Two of the bedrooms and a bathroom are accessed across the mezzanine walkway which give the rooms a degree of separation and privacy.

The building has heating and power and has a large living/entertaining area (with a shower room) with doors out to a sunny patio area.

The wonderfully landscaped gardens extend to the south and south-east from the rear of the house and include areas to enjoy the surroundings of this plantsman's garden, designed to enjoy year-round. Mature shrub and flower borders with meandering paths intersperse the lawns with thoughtfully planned vistas to enjoy different vistas. There are pergolas with climbing plants, a greenhouse and a gentle stream running through the garden. One other charming feature is the unusual crinkle-crankle wall (a wavy wall) which originally would have been part of the Everton Grange estate and forms part of the boundary of the garden.

Positioned on the edge of the charming village of Everton, the property is screened from the outside world by mature trees and an attractive belt of woodland owned by the current owner. Everton is an active village with a pub and a village store that caters for most daily requirements. The surrounding countryside forms some of the best in the area moving from pastoral farmland between the village and the sea to the open heathland of the New Forest National Park to the north which offers a wide range of recreational activities including walking, cycling and riding. There are swimming beaches at Milford on Sea with glorious views to the Isle of Wight as well as a range of superb restaurants, a wine bar and deli clustered around the village green. The market town of Lymington is about 2 miles to the east and provides a wide range of shops, services and restaurants as well as sailing facilities and access to the Solent. There is a mainline railway station at Brockenhurst approximately 7 miles to the north which provides direct services to London Waterloo.
