Owner profile
About the owner
Hello - my name is Jackie Portlock and I am the owner of this beautiful house which has been in my family for 30 years. My husband and I spent many happy times here when our children were younger and the house is full of lovely memories for us - so much so that when I inherited it 3 years ago, we could not bear to part with it. So I set about a complete renovation project which kept the original charm of the house but added luxuries such as raised decks from which to view the beautiful gardens, a fantastic Jacuzzi hydrotherapy spa hot tub housed in a timber vaulted gazebo, double BBQ, 3 luxury bathrooms, and beautifully decorated interior. This is not just a holiday home - this is a real home full of warmth and character - we love this house and we hope you will too.
Year purchased: 1980's
Why the owner chose a home in this location
The house has been in the family for 30 years and it was originally purchased because of its unique location ie the property is in the centre of a corner plot at the top of a quiet country road. The garden contains many mature shrubs, beautiful rhododendrons and is bordered on one side by the original orchard wall. It is completely secluded. Bransgore is a thriving village on the edge of the New Forest National Park and has the unusual benefit of 3 excellent pub/restaurants within walking distance, a village parade where you can buy pretty much everything. It is minutes away from a gorgeous beach and equidistant between Ringwood and Christchurch. All this and yet it's so peaceful, the owls hoot in the oak trees at night, there are no street lights so the stars shine brighter - it's magic!
Unique benefits of the property
Main benefits are its village location ie everything you need within walking distance, it's proximity to several lovely beaches, the breathtaking scenery so lovely at all times of year whether springtime when the New Forest ponies and their adorable foals are literally everywhere, the summer when the beaches beckon, the Autumn when everything turns to gold or the Winter months when the hot-tub is real fun! Virasol has the lot - whether it's walking, cycling, local fine dining, a peaceful break with friends sharing an excellent pint beside a roaring fire, superb golf, endless amusements for children of all ages or fab nightlife in Bournemouth. Alternatively, wallow in the hot-tub, BBQ on balmy nights, lounge on the sun-decks, breathe in the pine-scented air and switch off the mobile !
