Energy Performance Rating: TBC

SITUATION

The property is situated in an idyllic forest location on the edge of the village of Tiptoe, which features two churches, a well-regarded primary school, an associated pre-school and a public house. The location is ideal for those who enjoy walking or equestrian pursuits.

The nearby village of Sway is about three quarters of a mile away and offers a good selection of shops for everyday needs together with a doctors‘ surgery, hairdressers, school, church, pubs and restaurants. The village enjoys an active community with many clubs and associations to join. In addition, the mainline railway station makes for easy commuting to the larger towns of Bournemouth, Southampton and London Waterloo.

Brockenhurst is approximately 4 miles away and offers a mainline railway station with direct links to London Waterloo in approximately 90 minutes and a good local community of shops and restaurants.

The attractive Georgian market town of Lymington is only a short distance away offering comprehensive shopping facilities, together with a busy Saturday street market and excellent marinas and sailing facilities.

LOCAL AREA

These leafy villages on the southern edge of the New Forest have everything you could want for family life in the Forest. There are two village primary schools rated ‘good’ and ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted, a vibrant community with a variety of eateries, annual carnival, village hall (activities range from archery to yoga), plus cricket, football and tennis clubs. And while there’s easy access to the Forest’s open grassland, heathland and woodland for dog walking and cycling, Tiptoe and Sway are off the Forest’s usual tourist tracks and feel peaceful and relaxed.

The village centre of Sway combines the unusual with the desirable: a contemporary arts hub, quality businesses, mainline railway station, choice of popular pubs, good cafe/deli, award winning butcher’s, village store and post office among others. Sway’s claims to fame include 200-foot high Sway Tower, the tallest structure made out of non-reinforced concrete.
