SITUATION

The property is conveniently situated on Forest Park Road, opposite the open forest and within easy reach of the bustling village centre of Brockenhurst (0.6 miles) and the mainline railway station (1 mile) offering a direct link to London Waterloo in approximately 90 minutes.

Approximately four miles to the south lies the ever popular, Georgian coastal town of Lymington with its famous Saturday country market, extensive yachting facilities and ferry service to the Isle of Wight.

To the north is the village of Lyndhurst and Junction 1 of the M27 motorway which links to the M3, giving access to London.

LOCAL AREA

Brockenhurst is the largest village in the New Forest, boasting a thriving and lively community with all the necessary essentials of a proper working village, including a butcher, bakery, greengrocer, cafes and tea houses, plus services such as a doctor, dentist and post office.

In addition, the village boasts an 18 hole championship golf course, a luxurious spa and a number of highly regarded hotels including the Balmer Lawn, the Pig and Careys Manor, all of which offer fine dining restaurants.

In Brockenhurst the New Forest is all around you and wild ponies, deer and cows roam at will. The North and South Weirs streams join and as one flow through Brockenhurst. In Brookley Road in the warmer months of the year the stream flows across the road, commonly referred to as The Splash. There is a second ford in the Waters Green area of the village and this flows continuously throughout the year. From beyond this the Weirs stream meets the river formed by the Blackwater and Ober Water to become the Lymington River.

It is Brockenhurst’s mainline station (service into London Waterloo approximately 90 minutes) that turns the dream of a country idyll into reality for those working up in London and makes Brockenhurst village a property hot spot.
