For many discerning buyers, finding a property which can truly be said to benefit from all that the coast, Forest and village life offers is an understandable aspiration. Holly Lodge is a spectacular country home which comes to market providing all the above, having been the subject of an extensive programme of works commissioned by our sellers with unerring sophistication and a sympathetic eye for detail. Enjoying direct gated forest access and beautifully tended part walled gardens, a recently constructed garage block counterpoints some fascinating period cob stabling, the whole fronting fence enclosed turnout paddocks. In all about 2.29 acres (0.93 ha).

Wootton and Tiptoe are neighbours of the busy and flourishing village of Sway and sit on the southern edge of the New Forest, three miles inland from the coast and the historic market town of Lymington. A thriving community exists with a primary school, church, public house and farm shop and the village benefits from easy access to nearby open Forest, making it an ideal location for equestrian enthusiasts, walkers and nature lovers alike. Sway station provides a regular service as part of the London to Weymouth line, with junction 1 of the M27 motorway being approximately 10 miles to the north.
