Introduction
It is rare within the New Forest National Park to find a large family residence offering a setting that is so private and tranquil, away from the thoroughfare with delightful views across open countryside and the feeling of wonderful space around.
Oakleigh is a country residence constructed in the 1990's offering generous living accommodation extending to 2350 sq ft. The accommodation features versatile reception rooms with excellent flow overlooking the extensive lawn culminating in a sizeable conservatory which offers access to front and rear gardens and an ideal light reception area. Four bedrooms are served by three bathrooms and there is a large kitchen breakfast room supplemented by a useful utility.
