The ground floor also features a snug, a spacious study, and an open-plan kitchen/dining room leading to the garden, along with a large utility/boot room and two WCs for added convenience.
Ascend to the first floor to explore the principal suite on the southwestern corner, boasting a dressing room and bathroom. Three additional bedrooms, one en suite, and a family bathroom complete this level. The second floor unveils the 5th and 6th bedrooms, a family bathroom, and versatile storage that could easily transform into an extra bedroom.
Approaching Downton Fields is an experience in itself, navigating down a private drive through mixed woodlands, revealing the house set among trees. A broad circular gravel driveway offers extensive parking, leading to a separate brick-built garage/workshop and stabling on one side.
The extensive grounds, spanning approximately 18 acres, surround the house and feature a well-maintained tennis court, a charming walled garden with a greenhouse, and the remnants of an old swimming pool.
Situated in a private and tranquil parkland and country setting, Downton Fields provides an exclusive retreat. While enjoying the serene surroundings, the property remains conveniently located just three miles west of New Milton mainline station, offering a direct service to London Waterloo in one hour and 45 minutes. The renowned sailing resort of Lymington is a short drive to the east (approx. 3miles), providing access to a wealth of amenities.
From Lymington, follow the A337 towards New Milton for nearly four miles. The entrance to Downton Fields awaits on the right-hand side between Everton and New Milton.
