The central core of a magnificent Country House that affords spectacular views over the parkland from all principal rooms, the property having been beautifully refurbished in recent years with the emphasis on retaining much of its original character and elegance.
Yeatton House is located in a pleasant, rural area between Lymington (about 4 miles) and New Milton (about 2.5 miles). The nearest village is Hordle which is about 0.75 mile. There is a public house in Downton (about 0.5 mile). The nearest mainline station is at New Milton, with trains to London/Waterloo taking just under 2 hours. The New Forest is about 3.5 miles to the north where there are many acres of unspoilt countryside for riding and walking. The coast is about 1.5 miles to the south with bathing beaches at Milford on Sea and sailing from Keyhaven.
Yeatton House is a fine example of period architecture, reputed to have Georgian origins. In the mid 1970's the property was subdivided and now provides a total of 7 individual apartments over two floors. 3 Yeatton House comprises the central core apartment, offering accommodation that benefits from gas fired heating, being arranged over two floors. The apartment is naturally well lit and faces due south affording fine views over its own area of well stocked beautifully maintained garden with the backdrop of maintained parkland and farmland, with distant views from the first floor towards the Isle of Wight. All principal rooms face due south to provide accommodation of great character and elegance featuring fine traditional shuttered casements with high ceilinged well proportioned reception rooms and bedrooms.
The ground floor offers a spectacular drawing room, a dining room that links with a useful garden room and re-fitted bespoke kitchen/breakfast room with a generous rear hall/scullery and cloakroom. The first floor provides for a total of three generous bedrooms, the principal suite comprising a bedroom with its adjacent shower room and dressing room, the remaining two bedrooms having the use of either an independent bathroom or shower room. Externally, the property sits in maintained parkland with an area of well stocked private garden accessed directly from the reception rooms. The apartment has its own double garage with provision for further areas of casual parking suitable for both residents and visitors.
Yeatton House is approached off Hordle Lane via a substantial gravelled in-and-out drive, the drive providing allocated areas of parking suitable for both residents and visitors alike on the northern side of the property. 3 Yeatton House has the additional benefit of its own Double Garage with twin metal up-and-over doors, power and light connected, forming part of the property. The gardens associated with Yeatton House are essentially of a communal nature, being laid mainly to areas of parkland incorporating landscaped gardens and grounds with areas of natural woodland.
3 Yeatton House has its own area of private garden that affords delightful vistas in a southerly direction, the garden area being clearly defined comprising areas of well maintained lawn with spectacular deep well-stocked herbaceous borders with various specimen trees and ornamental shrubs providing all round seasonal colour and interest. The private gardens are accessed directly from the apartment via the kitchen/breakfast room, garden room and drawing room, with the doors opening onto a substantial paved Seating Terrace that runs the width of the property.
The tenure of the property was converted from one large house into a communal country house of apartments in the mid 1970's, at which time a lease was taken out for a term of 999 years, with the ground rent being paid annually. All leaseholders are shareholders in the company which owns the freehold.
Currently £250.00 paid monthly. The maintenance charge covers the garden maintenance including the external painting, decorating and buildings insurance.
STRICTLY BY APPOINTMENT through the sole agents John D Wood & Co. (01590) 677233.
