Sopley is situated within a conservation area on the edge of the Avon Valley and New Forest, between the popular coastal town of Christchurch and the historic market town of Ringwood. There is a village hall and a quality dining pub within easy walking distance and Sopley Primary School is just a short distance away, as well as other local private and state secondary schools. Christchurch is situated approximately 2.5 miles south offering an extensive range of independent and high street shops, boutiques, restaurants, cafes, hotels and the beautiful natural harbour which is home to two sailing clubs, a rowing club and plenty of water-based activities. The market town of Ringwood is approximately 6 miles north offering further shopping, leisure facilities and a good range of pubs, cafes and restaurants. The larger coastal town of Bournemouth with its famous beaches is also close by as are major transport links; the A31 and the M27 gives access to Southampton, the M3 and London beyond. Christchurch has a main line train station as does Bournemouth and Southampton plus the latter benefiting from having international airports.

Direction:

Leave Ringwood along the Christchurch road and head to Sopley. Go through the village on the one way and turn left into Derritt Lane and then as you go along this road you will see the entrance on your right to the driveway.
