    BISTERNE CLOSE BURLEY PRICE GUIDE £1,350,000 www.penyards.com www.equestrianandrural.com www.onthemarket.com www.rightmove.co.uk www.mayfairoffice.co.uk MARKWAY LODGE BISTERNE CLOSE, BURLEY, HAMPSHIRE, BH24 4BA Enviably positioned in what is considered to be one of the most sought addresses in Burley this immaculately presented detached family home has been subject to an almost complete re-construction 24 years ago, to our clients’ individual specification, the result of which is a superbly appointed family home which has been fastidiously maintained. In addition a separate detached garden studio with its own private garden is discretely positioned from the house and has potential to be utilized in a variety of manners, subject to obtaining any relevant consent. Set in grounds of approximately 1.5 acres including beautifully landscaped formal gardens whilst a large paddock with stables, field shelter and barn will also ensure this property’s appeal to those with an equestrian interest, particularly given the direct forest access and superb outriding. Burley is excellently placed for the road commuter given the A31 is only a five minute drive away linking onto the M27 whilst the neighbouring village of Brockenhurst with its mainline railway station and reputable sixth form college is also within a short drive. The commercial centres of Bournemouth and Southampton with their regional airports together with the cathedral cities of Salisbury and Winchester are all within a comfortable drive as are the stunning beaches and wonderful coastline. Bisterne Close is an extremely desirable lane on the fringes of the sought after village of Burley away from main thoroughfares and with very little passing traffic, whilst Markway Lodge enjoys a premier position directly fronting the open forest.

  • SOPLEY 1958 a CHURCH, a Pub and an Old Mill by the Stream. Sopley
    SOPLEY 1958 A CHURCH, a pub and an old mill by the stream. Sopley has all three. And although modern towns have sprung up in the not-too-far distance, the beauty and charm of this old world village remain unspoilt. The church of St. Michael and All Angels has been described as one of the most beautiful churches in the Vale of Avon, a church whose history is veiled in the mists of antiquity. It is known far and wide and the parishioners can be justly proud of possessing it. Like so many other churches dedicated to St. Michael and All Angels, it is situated on a hill, although it is scarcely more than a mound and some authorities consider it to be artificial and possibly the site of a pagan temple. But there are few country churches in the county that can offer as much general interest or impart as great an impression. ISLAND STONE. The walls are of ironstone rubble, probably obtained from Hengistbury Head, with dressings of Isle of Wight stone. The original nave was probably very small, occupying space between the present tower and transept arches, and having a small chancel within the lines of the east end of the present nave. In the 13th century, the church was greatly enlarged, a new chancel, equal in width to the nave, being built east of the old chancel and large transepts were thrown out north and south. Late in the 14th century the nave was completely rebuilt with tower over the west bay, and at the east end of the nave larger arches were| built opening into the transepts.
