No Forward Chain - An excellent four bedroom detached family residence set in a popular cul-de-sac location, close to the heart of the village of Sway. The property is set in pleasant ground and further benefits from a detached garage, off road parking and granted planning permission to extend. Energy Performance Rating: D

SITUATION

The property is situated in highly desirable cul-de-sac, within easy reach of local amenities and the open forest. The village offers a useful mainline rail connection to Southampton and London Waterloo (approximately 100 minutes) together with a range of shops, a thriving community, well regarded primary school, church, doctor’s surgery and the Jubilee fields offering fantastic recreation facilities including tennis courts, a football pitch and a cricket ground all set around a pavilion clubhouse.

The Georgian market town of Lymington, famed for its river, marinas, yacht clubs and coastline, is within a 4 mile drive over the forest.

The neighbouring New Forest village of Brockenhurst (4 miles), again with a mainline rail connection, offers further leisure, shopping and educational amenities, as well as a popular 18 hole golf course.

LOCAL AREA

On the southern edge of the New Forest is the delightful and historic village of Sway, lying three miles from the coastal town of Lymington and five miles from the coast.

Sway boasts a vibrant community with an annual carnival, a village hall with activities ranging from archery to yoga, as well as cricket, football and tennis clubs.

The village centre offers a good degree of diversity, with a contemporary arts hub, a choice of popular pubs, a popular cafe/deli, an award-winning butcher’s, a village store and a post office among others.

The village primary school, St. Luke’s is rated ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted making the area popular with young families.

A mainline rail station linking to London Waterloo adds to the allure for commuters and while there’s easy access to the open forest for dog walking and cycling, Sway is off the usual tourist track making it feel peaceful and relaxed.

Sway’s claims to fame include the 200-foot high Sway Tower, the tallest structure constructed of non-reinforced concrete and an iconic landmark of the New Forest.

The countryside around Sway was also the setting for Captain Marryat’s work ‘The Children of the New Forest’.
