A covered entrance porch opens into a welcoming central hall, from which the accommodation unfolds with an easy, practical flow. To one side sits a generous sitting room, centred around a fireplace and opening directly into a substantial conservatory that spans the width of the house. Bathed in natural light, this space enjoys uninterrupted views across the garden and creates an effortless connection between the house and its peaceful surroundings.

The kitchen is well positioned for everyday living and entertaining and has a lovely view onto the garden. 

The ground floor also offers considerable flexibility, with two well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room, whilst a separate cloakroom serves guests and the second bedroom.

The first floor is dedicated to an impressive third bedroom, creating a peaceful retreat with its own shower room and useful eaves storage. The layout provides an ideal guest suite or principal bedroom, enjoying a sense of separation from the accommodation below.

Outside, the mature gardens are a particular feature, enjoying a southerly aspect and a high degree of privacy. Framed by established planting and backing onto open fields, the garden provides an idyllic setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the tranquillity that defines this part of the Forest. Additionally there is a large wooden shed/workroom which has power and light. It also has outside power sockets and a covered area for outside storage.

A generous driveway provides ample parking for several vehicles and leads to a detached garage.

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.
