A quintessential New Forest farmhouse thought to date back to 1730 with later extensions added circa 1950’s. The property was originally the farmhouse for the Morant Estate and vineyard owned by the late Lord Morant and given to his daughter as a wedding present in the 1920’s. The property has since had two further renowned owners and was separated from the vineyard some years ago. Bought by the current owners approximately 20 years ago, the property has been upgraded in recently times and extended to offer very versatile accommodation. The property is currently used as a successful holiday cottage and offers the potential to derive a substantial income if required whilst making a highly desirable family home.
Set back from the road, the property is tucked away in beautiful grounds approaching 1.7 acres and backing onto Setley Vineyards whilst still within walking distance of The Filly Inn public house and easy access to the mainline train station at Brockenhurst and down to the coast at Lymington. The property provides for glorious walks within Roydon Woods and out to Boldre via a bridle way.
The property enjoys an idyllic location, situated at the end of a private sweeping driveway leading from the road between Brockenhurst and Lymington. The village of Brockenhurst lies approximately 1.5 miles away and benefits from a mainline station with direct access to London Waterloo (approx. 90 minutes) and an extensive range of local shops, restaurants, a primary school, a popular tertiary college and the renowned Brockenhurst Golf Club. The Georgian market town of Lymington is approximately two miles south with its extensive yachting facilities, Saturday market and a ferry service to Yarmouth, Isle of Wight.
