History:
We understand the cottage was built Hermann Lea, a writer, photographer and close friend of Thomas Hardy. He lived at Bockhampton from 1913-1921 before moving to Linwood. Ten Oaks was apparently named according to the number of Oak trees felled for its construction.

This property is located within the highly sought after New Forest hamlet of Linwood, within the New Forest National Park, offering peace and privacy with the glorious heath and woodland literally on the door step, ideal for dog walkers, bike and horse riders in particular. The nearby popular 'Red Shoot Inn' offers its own brewery with special New Forest Ales on Tap. Its nearest town is Ringwood, which lies approximately 4.2 miles south-west from the village offers a bustling community well supported by a range of local and national shops, cafes, wine bars and restaurants. There is an equally good range of schooling in both state and private sector, schools. The Spinnaker Sailing Club is approximately 1.2 miles distant. The location is well placed for excellent communication links, with the A31 and A338 providing convenient access to Southampton and Bournemouth respectively, where mainline rail services and international airports can be found.

The property is approached via a five bar timber gate on about 3.8 acres. Timber framed garage/workshop with power and lighting. Office space above. Feature working wishing well.
Landscaped gardens to the front and side with an array of mature trees and shrubs including Rhododendrons, Acers and Azaleas.

Mainly laid to lawn with flower borders scattered throughout. Summerhouse and shed. Block paved area leading to the vegetable garden and greenhouse and wood store. Boat shed. Large natural pond with water lilies and access to the adjoining brook with stunning views over the river to the valley.
