THE PROPERTY
Dating back to 1884, Castle Malwood Lodge was originally a hunting lodge for the Chancellor of the Exchequer Sir William Harcourt. The property still retains many period features but now offers light and airy accommodation, ideal for modern day living.
The property is accessed from the main communal hallway, via a beautiful carved oak staircase which leads to the first floor. The front door leads immediately into the studio apartment which incorporates both the bedroom and sitting area with electric heater and storage units.
A modern kitchen with integrated appliances and a newly fitted, modern bathroom sits to the rear of the properly. A further storage cupboard is located on the second floor.
GROUNDS & GARDENS
The grounds surrounding this stunning former country house are truly worthy of its original status, extending to approximately three acres in total and comprising areas of beautifully manicured lawns and established woodland, with direct forest access to the rear.
The apartment ideally benefits from an allocated space in the communal car park and there is further space available for guest parking.

DIRECTIONS
Heading North from Lyndhurst on the A337 in the direction of Cadnam continue 1.5 miles until you reach a left hand turning at the brow of the hill in the direction of Minstead. Continue along this road passing the village centre and Trusty Servant pub and continue up the hill.
Remain on this road until the very end and just before the "turn left" signs for the slip way onto the A31 a forestry track can be found on your right-hand side alongside a green forestry commission board saying "Castle Malwood Lodge". Proceed down the track, over the cattle grid and into the communal parking area.
