The property is situated in a conveniently central location in the heart of the village, being just a few moments walk from the mainline railway station (London Waterloo approx. 90 minutes), general convenience stores, doctors surgery, public house and the highly regarded St Lukes Primary School. The open forest can be accessed towards the end of Brighton road at Setthorns.

The Georgian market town of Lymington, famed for its river, marinas, yacht clubs, boutique shops and coastline, is within an easy 4 mile drive over the forest. The neighbouring New Forest village of Brockenhurst, again with a mainline rail connection, offers further leisure, shopping and educational amenities, as well as a popular 18 hole championship golf course.

Inside, the welcoming entrance hall sets the tone for the rest of the property, where a carefully considered neutral colour palette, quality flooring and solid oak internal doors create a warm and sophisticated feel.

The bright, dual aspect kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with modern Shaker style cabinetry, solid oak worktops and a comprehensive range of integrated appliances including a fan-assisted oven, touch-control ceramic hob with concealed extractor, dishwasher and full height fridge/freezer. There is also space for a breakfast table, making it the perfect spot for everyday dining.

To the rear of the property, the generous sitting and dining room provides an excellent entertaining space, centred around an attractive feature fireplace. Large windows and double doors flood the room with natural light and open directly onto the landscaped rear garden, creating a seamless connection between inside and out.

Practicality has not been overlooked, with useful understairs storage currently accommodating a tumble dryer, while a spacious cloakroom offers additional storage for coats and shoes.

The first floor hosts two well proportioned bedrooms. The second bedroom is a generous double complete with fitted wardrobes and additional recesses for freestanding furniture, while the third bedroom enjoys front-facing views and offers flexibility as a child’s bedroom, guest room or home office. A beautifully finished family bathroom serves this floor, featuring contemporary tiling, a modern suite and shower over the bath.

Occupying the entire second floor, the principal bedroom provides a peaceful retreat. Two Velux windows allow natural light to pour in, while fitted wardrobes, extensive eaves storage and a stylish en suite shower room complete this impressive space. A further landing cupboard and additional eaves storage add to the home’s excellent practicality.

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, 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.
