Swan Green, Emery Down, Lyndhurst, SO43

An elegant two-bedroom ground floor apartment, recently refurbished to a high standard. Northerwood House is a magnificent, Grade II listed, Georgian mansion converted to seventeen luxury apartments all set within grounds extending to approximately six acres in an elevated and secluded location in the heart of the New Forest. The apartment has a southerly aspect with views across the forest to the Isle of Wight.

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.

The apartment has impressively high ceilings throughout and the spacious entrance hallway with secure entry system is a welcoming reception area. A full refurbishment was completed in April this year, including a new kitchen, bathroom and en-suite, new flooring and underfloor heating to the hall, sitting room, kitchen and bathrooms. Sympathetic secondary glazing has also been installed on every window.

The large living room has retained the original fireplace and has double sash windows with spectacular far-reaching elevated views across the sumptuous grounds, Lyndhurst and miles of forest to the Isle of Wight in the distance. The size of the room allows ample space for dining furniture.

The delightful newly fitted kitchen/breakfast room has excellent storage cupboards with wall and base units and a range of integrated appliances and ample room for a breakfast area. A utility room has space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as useful storage.

There are two well proportioned bedrooms with built in wardrobes both served by a family bathroom and separate shower room.

The property further benefits from having a recently constructed double garage in a separate block to the property.

The property is approached via a long private drive flanked by established planting and is set in its own sumptuous, private parkland grounds which are maintained under contract and offer a variety of mature trees, ornamental shrubs, decorative borders and formal lawns that feature a classic parterre garden. The property further benefits from a double garage situated in an adjacent block which is accessed off the principal drive.

In total, the beautiful gardens and grounds attributed to Northerwood House extend to approximately six acres.
