The Wing, Little Arnewood House is situated approximately a mile south west of Sway village centre, with its mainline rail connection to London Waterloo (journey time approximately 100 minutes). The property is surrounded by farmland, offering fine southerly views. The famed Georgian market town of Lymington, renowned for its river, yacht clubs and marinas, is situated about 4 miles south east. The coastal village and bathing beaches of Milford on Sea is located a similar distance due south. The A35 is within 4 miles, providing easy road access to Southampton, Bournemouth and the M27 motorway network.

The principal entrance opens into a welcoming reception hallway, where a further internal door leads through to the stunning main sitting room. This elegant reception space enjoys a dual aspect, flooding the room with natural light, whilst a striking inset log burner provides an attractive focal point. Beautiful herringbone wood flooring flows throughout, enhancing the warmth and character of the room. A useful ground floor cloakroom is accessed from here, together with the staircase rising to the upper floors.

An internal door leads through to the extended section of the home, undoubtedly the true heart of the property. The first room on the left, which also connects back to the principal sitting room, is currently arranged as a cosy television room, although it offers excellent flexibility as a family room, home office or playroom.

Continuing towards the rear of the property, the home opens into an outstanding open-plan kitchen, dining and family room. Designed with entertaining in mind, this spectacular space features vaulted ceilings, Velux roof windows and expansive bi-folding doors that seamlessly connect the interior with the garden beyond. Large-format tiled flooring runs throughout, complementing the light-filled accommodation and creating a contemporary yet welcoming atmosphere.

The bespoke kitchen is beautifully fitted with an extensive range of base and eye-level cabinetry, complemented by granite worktops and a central island providing additional storage, preparation space, an induction hob and inset sink. Integrated appliances include a double oven, warming drawer and fridge freezer, creating a practical yet stylish cooking environment. There is ample space for both formal dining and relaxed family seating, making this a wonderful everyday living space as well as the perfect setting for entertaining.

To one side of the kitchen, a glazed wall with French doors opens onto an enclosed brick courtyard, creating a delightful and private al fresco dining terrace. Adjacent to the kitchen is a separate utility room, offering additional storage, space for appliances and direct access outside. Beyond this is a dedicated plant room together with a further cloakroom.

The principal staircase rises to the first-floor landing, where three generous double bedrooms are found. These are served by a beautifully appointed three-piece family bathroom, complemented by two separate W.C.s, providing excellent practicality for family living.

A further staircase rises to the second floor, where the impressive principal bedroom suite enjoys a high degree of privacy and benefits from its own en-suite bathroom.

Returning to the ground floor, a separate staircase leads down to the lower ground floor, where a further spacious double bedroom is accompanied by a dressing room and excellent additional storage. Completing this floor is a charming wine cellar, adding yet another distinctive feature to this exceptional home.

The property is approached via a sweeping driveway leading to the front of the house, where ample off-road parking is provided alongside access to the garage.

The rear gardens perfectly complement the lifestyle this wonderful home offers. Immediately adjoining the bi-folding doors is an expansive paved terrace, creating an effortless extension of the kitchen and family room and providing the ideal space for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxing.

Beyond the terrace, the gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and beautifully stocked with an array of mature shrubs, specimen planting and established trees, creating an idyllic country garden setting. A charming pavilion sits within the grounds, providing a peaceful retreat from which to enjoy the tranquil surroundings.

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.
