The principal accommodation is arranged over two floors and retains a wealth of original detailing: wrought iron open-tread staircases, ceiling beams, herringbone wood flooring, stone fireplaces with fitted woodburners, and wood-panelled walls that speak eloquently of the property's heritage.
The sitting room and kitchen/dining room are both wonderfully characterful spaces, with windows to multiple aspects and a comfortable informality that belies the grandeur of the setting.
Two bedrooms, a study, and a modern bathroom complete the first floor.
Complementing the main house is a substantial detached two-bedroom annexe, known as the Sawmill Engine House, which offers versatile accommodation across two floors entirely self-contained and ideal for extended family, visiting guests, or as a formal lettings opportunity, subject to relevant consents.
A further range of outbuildings provides additional flexibility, including an integral double garage, workshop and stores, greenhouse, implement store, and an attached conservatory opening onto a terrace and swimming pool.
The gardens and grounds are a property in their own right: predominantly laid to lawn and well-stocked with specimen trees and established shrubs, with the Lymington River meandering through the grounds to one side, lightly wooded areas beyond, and terracing and dwarf walling immediately around the house.
The open forest is readily accessible from the property, and the village of Brockenhurst, with its mainline railway connection to London Waterloo, lies within easy reach.
NOTABLE RIGHTS & ENTITLEMENTS
We understand the property benefits from fishing rights on the Lymington River and Forest Rights over the adjacent New Forest with an entitlement to a supply of firewood provided by the Forestry Commission under the common right of estovers. The property also offers potential for further development, subject to the necessary consents.
