HERE’S a stunning home for you AND the horses. For sale with a guide price of £1,650,000, Green Acres is in Poulner, near Ringwood, on the edge of the New Forest.

The strong equestrian theme is set by three large paddocks which take up approximately three quarters of the eight acre site. What you do with the rest of the grounds is up to you! But bear in mind there’s already an outdoor swimming pool with modern decked surround and hot tub.

The lovely secluded and private gardens and fields of the home can be seen from the principal rooms, and over the years the property has been extended.

It was restored and modernised to a high specification in 2003 by the current owners, and its versatile accommodation is ideal for relaxed informal country living.

It is a large home that could shared by two families, as the current layout offers two separate kitchens at ground floor level and at opposite ends of the house, with the six reception rooms including a garden view conservatory.

The reception hall has the original stripped wood staircase and wall panelling creating a warm and inviting introduction to the house. Other useful ground floor rooms include gym/studio, laundry room and larder (as there will no doubt be plenty of guests wanting to stay!).

On the first floor there are five bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms. Off the master bedroom is a luxury fitted six-piece suite. There is also a fixed staircase accessed from the fifth bedroom/study up to attic storage space.

Not forgetting the horses – for them there are six stables, two barns and a tack room. The paddocks are divided into three, with the potential for sub-dividing. There is also a modern manege constructed by the current owners, positioned centrally to the paddock areas.

There is right of way through neighbouring properties which links with bridle ways and gives direct New Forest access – how lovely for those early morning hacks. The house is approached via a sweeping driveway accessed via electric security controlled double gates, the driveway then opens out to provide parking for many vehicles in front of the triple garage area.
