The historic village of Beaulieu is remarkably unspoilt and has been at the heart of the Beaulieu Estate for generations. Its quintessential high street is a delight and contains many Listed buildings and a mix of houses, cottages, cafes and shops. The Montagu Arms is an excellent public house also offering accommodation and fine dining. The village is within the New Forest National Park and surrounded by unspoilt countryside offering countless walks and cycle rides. The Beaulieu River flows through the village and there are excellent sailing facilities at Bucklers Hard. The market town of Lymington lies approximately 6 miles away and offers a wider range of shops and facilities. Direct trains to London Waterloo run from Brockenhurst (6 miles) and Southampton Airport Parkway (17 miles) taking approximately 1h 40m and 1h 10m respectively.

The house is approached through a wrought iron gate leading to a delightful walled, cottage garden, with a brick path leading to both the formal garden and the front door. The walled garden is laid to lawn with mature flower and vegetable beds at the borders. There is also a small, attractive courtyard garden on the south side of the house that is reached via the kitchen.

To the side of the property is a gravel driveway, providing off road parking for several cars and access to the garage with roof storage space. The property has the additional benefit of having two allocated parking spaces in the Residents Only car park adjacent to the property.
