Blissford, Fordingbridge, Hampshire, SP6

Strawberry Farm was constructed in 2014 to a bespoke, individual design intended to reflect the traditional character and vernacular of the New Forest combined with modern luxury and a stylish aesthetic, a brief executed in exemplary fashion that culminated in the property being short listed for a prestigious New Forest architectural award. The principal residence incorporates a traditional red brick elevation under a clay tiled roof and a beautiful oak framed garden room with an elegant, vaulted ceiling, which is complemented by graciously proportioned, versatile ground floor reception rooms including a sitting room with wood burning stove and a thoughtfully designed open plan kitchen/dining/living room. The ground floor is also home to a double bedroom with mezzanine level served by an adjoining wet room. There are two sumptuously proportioned bedrooms and a superbly fitted bathroom on the first floor either side of a landing area that is striking for its full height apex windows bestowing a lovely outlook over the garden and fields beyond. Strawberry Farm is noteworthy also for its range of adaptable outbuildings that includes a luxuriously appointed ancillary accommodation lodge that currently operates as a successful holiday letting business or could serve multi-generational living, a hugely impressive games room/bar/studio/gym with adjoining workshop and garaging, a double car port and stable block currently set up as a home office and utility.
