Swan Green, Emery Down, Lyndhurst, SO43

A unique opportunity to purchase a magnificent three bedroom apartment forming part of a beautifully converted Grade II listed country house in the heart of the New Forest. The property enjoys a delightful southerly aspect and benefits from its own private roof terrace offering elevated views across the grounds and Lyndhurst.

The property is offered with no forward chain.

Northerwood House is situated in highly the sought-after area of Swan Green on the edge of the village of Lyndhurst and is located only a short walk from the pubs, tearooms, shops and amenities of Lyndhurst village, and the open Forest with its many walks and outdoor pursuits. The village of Brockenhurst (about 4 miles south) has a mainline rail connection to London Waterloo (journey time approximately 90 minutes). The M27 (Junction 1) is some 3 miles north of the property, connecting through to the M3 at Chilworth for access to London.

Northerwood House is a stunning Georgian mansion house set at the end of a long private driveway on the edge of the village of Lyndhurst. The property is attributed to Naish the architect and was formally the home of the New Forest District Council before being skilfully converted by Ashby Renovations to provide a unique development of just seventeen luxury apartments in an elevated and secluded location set in approx. 6 acres of parkland style grounds. This beautiful, light and airy apartment forms part of the original house and offers an elegant fusion of character features, high ceilings, extensive views and modern fittings with beautifully appointed, well-proportioned accommodation throughout extending to over 2000 sq. Ft.

Stairs lead up from the ground floor to a private entrance leading into a central and generous entrance hall and offers good storage cupboards and provides access to all living and bedroom accommodation. An impressive 23’ x 17’ drawing/dining room is set at the rear of the apartment with large south facing windows offering extensive elevated views across the gardens and far reaching views to the Isle of Wight. Further benefits include a feature gas living flame fireplace, with built in cabinetry to either side.

Adjoining the reception room is a fully fitted kitchen featuring a range of contemporary shaker style units, with built-in appliances and complimentary granite work surfaces. Again, the kitchen benefits from views to the rear with superb open aspects.

The opulent principal bedroom features two large picture windows overlooking the grounds and a range of fitted wardrobes and luxury en-suite facilities including a double sink vanity unit, WC, bidet and double walk in shower.

Further accommodation includes an ensuite guest bedroom with windows overlooking the front. A generous third bedroom is currently used as a large study with built in shelving and storage, which overlooks the grounds to the front and benefits from large built-in wardrobes. A family shower room completes the accommodation.

Further stairs from the communal hallway lead up to the top floor which provides access to a useful garden room providing an additional reception room with patio doors leading out to a roof top terrace with outstanding far reaching views and providing a secluded outdoor seating area ideal for entertaining and dining.

The property is approached via a long private drive and is set in its own sumptuous, private parkland gardens and grounds which extend to approximately six acres. The apartment benefits from the exclusive use of a paved sun terrace extending across the rear from which there are magnificent elevated panoramic views across the private grounds and village of Lyndhurst to the open forest beyond. The property further benefits from a double garage.
