The property is situated just on the outskirts of Lymington, and within a few minutes walk of Buckland Rings. The nearby historic Georgian Market Town is a very short drive with cosmopolitan shops and a picturesque harbour. Also within easy reach are the two large deep water marinas and sailing clubs, for which the town has gained its status as a world renowned sailing resort. Lymington is surrounded by the outstanding natural beauty of the New Forest National Park and on Saturday a market is held in the High Street, the origins of which probably date back to the 13th century. To the north, is the New Forest village of Lyndhurst and Junction 1 of the M27, which links to the M3 for access to London. There is also a branch line train link to Brockenhurst Railway Station (approx. 5.5 miles) which gives direct access to London Waterloo in 90 minutes.
