on the edge of the popular forest village of Sway. Nestling on the
Southern edge of the New Forest National Park, Sway is a fine
example of a quiet yet thriving village community, renowned for its
friendliness. The village offers a useful mainline rail connection
(London Waterloo approximately 100 minutes) together with a range
of shops, a highly regarded primary school, two public houses and a
popular Tennis Club.
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.
This Arts and Crafts character property has been refurbished

and occupied by a multi-generational family in such a way that it
can easily be reinstated as one residence.
