NO FORWARD CHAIN
The property is truly a jewel within the New Forest, offering a
sanctuary of peace, privacy and picturesque beauty. A unique
opportunity to purchase an ideal redevelopment site in a stunning
New Forest location of a total 11 acres approximately, with forest
access, overlooking Linwood.
The main residence is nestled within a one-acre south facing
plot, the property consists of a ‘residence’ with annexe, lodge,
pool house, stables and barns with commanding views over a further
10 acres in the hamlet of Linwood.
Available for the first time in over 50 years the property
offers a unique potential, subject to planning permission, to
create an outstanding new country residence in a landscaped
parkland, or an equestrian estate with direct access to the New
Forest.
Gardens and Grounds:
The property is approached through a five bar gate with access
to a drive which leads up to the property.
There is plenty of parking, which leads to a large barn. There
are also stables and a tack room.
The majority of the land is made up of 3 paddocks; of which all
have water supply, a detached outbuilding as well as a post and
rail.
Please note; There is a right of way on the edge of the
boundary, to the west side of the site, which provides access onto
Toms Lane.
Situation:
Nestled in the rural hamlet of Linwood, this property is
positioned in the heart of the New Forest National Park. The
elevated (High Corner) approach roads with far reaching views have
a true sense of returning home to the ‘Shires’. This exceptional
location offers direct access to thousands of acres of natural
heath and woodland, making it an ideal setting for enthusiasts of
walking, cycling, and riding. Adding to the locale’s charm is the
proximity to the popular ‘High Corner Inn’, offering fine dining
and accommodation. Within walking distance is the ‘Red Shoot Inn’,
famed for its own brewery and within riding distance is “the Royal
Oak’ at Fritham, which remains totally original.
The Local Area:
Ringwood offers the best of all worlds being the oldest market
town positioned on the edge of the New Forest. It is an
increasingly popular destination for home hunters. Best known as
the home of Ringwood Brewery (inspiration for the current boom in
microbreweries), it is undergoing a re-identification. The old
cattle market has been transformed into a stylish shopping quarter
with names such as Aga, Hobbs, Joules, Waitrose and Waterstones,
and a programme of events that includes live music and farmers
markets. The adjacent high street has retained its character, with
a traditional weekly market and a selection of independents, a new
artisan bakery, and a variety of eateries. Families are attracted
by the sense of community and highly regarded secondary school (its
sixth form provision rated ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted).
In addition to being located in a prime forest location the road
communications are excellent as the A31 dual carriageway bisects
the New Forest and leads directly on to the M27, which links with
the M3 for Winchester and London. Southampton and Bournemouth being
approximately 16 and 15 miles respectively. For boating enthusiasts
various south coast centres are within a reasonable driving
distance, notably at Poole, Christchurch and Lymington.
Direction:
Exit Ringwood along the A338 Ringwood to Fordingbridge road.
After about two miles turn right signposted to Linwood. This road
will take you over a cattle grid and you bear right over a humped
back bridge and then you turn left. Continue along this road which
will take you to Linwood. Go through this small hamlet passing the
Red Shoot and then down a hill and up again and then you bear left
and continue along this road looking out for the signpost to the
High Corner Inn. You will come to a lane which will take you down a
hill passing the pub on your left and the property will be located

Earth.
