A separate utility room provides space for a tall fridge/freezer, washing machine, useful storage and a stable door out to the rear garden.

The property is situated on the outskirts of Sway village in the New Forest National Park. The Georgian market town of Lymington is only 5 miles from the property offering extensive yachting facilities, a famous Saturday market and a ferry service to Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight.

Sway has a good range of amenities including a railway station. Brockenhurst is 4 miles to the north-east with mainline rail links to London Waterloo (approximately 90 minutes) and a bustling community of shops and restaurants.

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.
