The principal town of Newport is around a 15-minute drive to the east.

This significant detached house has been the subject of an extensive redevelopment program that’s been carried out to a high standard by the current owners which now offers multiple large living spaces with masses of natural light. The property delivers breath-taking coastal and country views across The Solent to the New Forest National Park, just three miles to the North.

The relatively secluded position delivers inspirational sea-views and circa 7,000 sq. ft of accommodation, garaging and storage. Greenwood House sits perfectly in a fairly central position within the plot which extends to approximately 5.7 acres (2.3ha). There are two sweeping driveways leading to the house and fine recently laid and perfectly manicured lawns. Numerous majestic oak trees give the property privacy and a parkland setting feel but also deliver superb wind shelter belts.
