The house is superbly situated between the New Forest village of Bransgore and the bustling town centre of Christchurch with Mudeford's Award-Winning Beaches: Specifically, Avon Beach, Friars Cliff Beach, and Highcliffe Beach, which are part of Christchurch and located near Mudeford, have been recognized with both Blue Flag and Seaside Awards. The Harbours and Quays give excellent sailing, windsurfing, kayaking and SUP opportunities.
Christchurch provides plenty of excellent restaurants and bars including Captains Club Hotel & Spa, Multi Award Winning The Jetty, and plenty of others along the high street and quays.
The forest is a few miles down the road in the other direction where there are opportunities for walking, horse riding and cycling.
Verno House South is sold with recent planning permission for a beautiful re-design, the work of award-winning London-based architects Levitate. (Ref. 8/24/0761/HOU). It shows how the house can be brought up to the best of modern eco-standards while drawing on its original heritage.
The property briefly comprises almost 3400 SqFt of characterful accommodation, to include four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a kitchen/diner, snug, sitting room and utility.
The house has incredible charm throughout and is surrounded by paddock land and is situated off a private no through lane.
The house was named after Rear-Admiral George Vernon Jackson who had an eventful career. His ship, the Junon, was involved in the Napoleonic Wars and was captured by the French off Guadaloupe in 1810. The rear-admiral was imprisoned in France but escaped and eventually found his way back to England. He retired to a thatched cottage on the current site of the property. When it was destroyed in a fire in 1840, a new house was built with landscaped gardens. Verno House South is half the original house which was divided in 1952. It is tucked away at the top of a drive, alongside the Tower House where the water tank was situated, Apple Cottage, where the apples were stored, and Verno Farm House which housed the stables.
There are plenty of good schooling options locally, both in the state and independent sectors.
Trains to London Waterloo go from the local station Hinton Admiral, or faster trains can be picked up at Christchurch, New Milton or Brockenhurst. By car, you can reach London in 90 minutes.
