This tranquil property, set in Burridge, enjoys peaceful countryside views, a private dog-walking paddock and a fabulous forest backdrop. It’s an ideal place for a family reunion or celebration with plenty of space for three canine companions too.
A shared driveway leads to the entrance of this five-bedroom property. Inside, the whole family can relax in the games room with its pool table, dart board (bring your own darts), Playstation and bar. There’s also a wood burner to keep things warm on chillier nights which makes the perfect place for your pup to have a snooze. Afterwards, step through to the kitchen and cook up a feast on the Aga before gathering at the dining table for a meal all together. Later in the evening you can retire to the spacious lounge where you can sink into the plump sofas or unwind in the glorious sunroom. The sunroom opens onto the garden so curious canines can sniff around outside while you soak up the countryside views. When it’s time for bed, head upstairs and take your pick from two pretty, en-suite double bedrooms, two, light and airy twin bedrooms and a king room. Outside, a large patio is perfectly set up with a hot tub, BBQ perfect for al fresco dining while Fido can stretch his legs on the lawn or in the enclosed dog-walking paddock. But to really get tails wagging, stroll through your own bluebell wood to a private stretch of riverbank where you can paddleboard and kayak on the water while Fido rambles in the marshland – such a great property for enjoying the outdoors.
Your pups will love the walks from the doorstep but for a change of terrain, journey to Curbridge Nature Reserve and Swanwick Lakes (both less than 1.5 miles away). Itchen Valley Country Park (7 miles) with its woodland and nature trails also welcomes well-behaved dogs, and is a fantastic place for children too as they can explore the trees and fly on ziplines at the activity centre. For shops, restaurants and cafes, Whitely Shopping Centre is just 2 miles away.
