Stuckton is an ideal gateway to the North West corner of the New Forest National Park, one of a cluster of peaceful villages and hamlets in the immediate area including neighbouring Hyde and Frogham that share facilities extending to a primary school, public houses, the nearby Three Lions public house/restaurant, village hall and cafe with local shop.

The Avonside town of Fordingbridge is a short distance away (approximately 1 1/2 miles) and offers a range of educational, recreational and health facilities. The local road network also provides access to the regional employment centres of Salisbury, Bournemouth, Southampton and Poole. The close proximity of the open forest makes it an ideal setting for those with a passion for outdoor pursuits such as walking, riding and cycling.

A path leads to the main entrance door with the former graveyard surrounding the chapel on three elevations. Behind the chapel are two external WC’s, a storage shed and open sided store.

AGENT'S NOTE
1. We understand it is the Vendor's intention to divide the plot on a Freehold and limited Leasehold basis as per the accompanying plan owing to the age of the graves within the proposed Leasehold area and evidence of visitation.

2. A proposed Leasehold area in the westernmost corner of the former graveyard contains a single Commonwealth War Graves Commission grave, which we understand is to be fenced off and will be accessed via a gate from the Public Footpath that runs alongside the outer hedged boundary of the plot.
