The property is situated on the outskirts of Boldre village, within a short drive of both Lymington and Brockenhurst. The village of Brockenhurst lies to the north and benefits from a mainline station with direct access to London Waterloo and an extensive range of local shops, restaurants, a primary school, a popular tertiary college and the renowned Brockenhurst Golf Club.

The Georgian market town of Lymington lies to the south with its extensive yachting facilities, Saturday market and a ferry service to Yarmouth, Isle of Wight. The area boasts a number of well regarded primary and secondary schools including St Luke’s C of E primary, William Gilpin and the popular Priestlands schools. There are also a number of noteworthy independent schools including Walhampton, Ballards and Durlston. The New Forest National Park offers outstanding natural beauty and extensive walking and horse riding opportunities.

Living in Sway

This leafy village on the southern edge of the New Forest has everything you could want for family life in the Forest. There’s a village primary school rated ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted, a vibrant community with 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, Sway is off the Forest’s usual tourist tracks and feels peaceful and relaxed.

The village centre combines the unusual with the desirable: a contemporary arts hub, quality businesses like Sway Woodburning Centre, mainline railway station, choice of popular pubs, good cafe/deli, award-winning butcher’s, village store and post office among others.

Property is an attractive pick ‘n’ mix of everything including substantial country houses, individual modern builds in good-sized plots, family homes, imaginative refurbishments, closes of quality new terraces, chalet bungalows and a smattering of Edwardian semi-detached villas and thatched cottages.

Sway’s claims to fame include 200-foot high Sway Tower, the tallest structure made out of non-reinforced concrete, and the countryside around Sway was the setting for Captain Marryat’s work The Children of the New Forest.
