Godshill Wood, Fordingbridge, Hampshire, SP6

Located quite literally off the beaten track in a private, discreet position within Godshill Wood, Silvercroft is an impressive, detached residence believed to originally date from the 1930s with later extensions. Set in mature grounds extending to approximately 3.59 acres comprising formal gardens and paddocks, the principal dwelling is a handsome, extended detached house of white-washed elevation that occupies a semi-elevated position overlooking its grounds, with a lovely woodland backdrop. The beautifully presented and maintained accommodation offers versatile ground floor reception and living space that is perfectly balanced and complemented by a range of four generous double bedrooms on the first floor. The same level of care and attention has been applied to the gardens, which surround the house on three elevations and comprise formal planted beds, a sunken display garden, sweeping lawns, terracing and an outdoor swimming pool. Within the grounds is an impressive array of outbuildings including an Holmsley Oak triple bay car barn, double garage with office over for those buyers seeking work-from-home space, a stable block, hay barn and various stores/sheds. Beyond the garden the paddocks slope on a gentle gradient in a south-westerly direction.
