Castle Top Cottage lies about a mile and a half from the centre of, arguably, one of the most beautiful and sought after villages in The New Forest, ideally situated to make full use of all the wonderful facilities the Forest has to offer. Whether it be sailing at nearby Lymington (12 miles) or golf at one of the many courses in the area including nearby Burley and Brockenhurst with its mainline railway station (8 miles, Waterloo 90 minutes) The market town of Ringwood is but a short drive away (5 miles). The larger shopping towns of Southampton (20 miles) to the east and Bournemouth (16 miles) to the west, both with their airports, are easily accessible.

Castle Top Cottage is accessed over a cattle grid, through a five bar gateway leading along a private driveway. The property sits at the end of its plot, with views over its grounds which incorporate areas of lawn, paddock and woodland amounting to almost four acres.

Within the grounds sits a large double barn and workshop. There is also parking for numerous vehicles.

Adjacent to the house is a detached office building with small mezzanine area and a covered storage area to the rear.
