This holiday cottage is set in a very large garden with outdoor furniture in the rear garden, and ample parking / boat storage, reached by a shingle driveway. Plenty of room for outside activities around the house such as badminton, crocquet etc.

The south facing front garden is well surrounded by shrubs and hedging. The mature hedging and trees offer good privacy in what is already a quiet cul-de-sac. A brief walk around the corner brings you to the White Hart pub, with a butchers and local shops 200 yards in the other direction.

Woodside formal gardens are a short walk around the corner, with plenty of lawned areas for picinicing and an abundance of plants, flowers, trees and shrubs. This area also contains a safe play area for children, with swings and climbing frames, playing fields, cricket and football pitches. The huge monkey puzzle tree dominates the central lawned area surrounded by rhododendrons.

Also here are fenced tennis courts, near which stands Rookes Memorial and the pergola, pointing over the Solent to the Isle of Wight, which can be seen on a clear day from the lawned area and benches in front of the memorial. The marina is only a 15 minute stroll away through the formal gardens of Woodside.

Turn left out of your cul de sac, and at the end of the lane lies the shingle banked coastal area with its protected bird reserve and marshland and provides for scenic walks with views of the Isle of Wight and the needles. Hurst Castle, which was a prison to King Charles the First in 1648 is at the end of the shingle bank, looking over the Solent to the Isle of Wight.

The beautiful New Forest with it's famous New Forest Ponies is a few minutes drive or a short cycle away, with an abundance of wildlife, excellent throughout the year for all ages, for walking, riding and cycling (with cycle hire centres at Burley and Brockenhurst). contact us
