Property description

\"From the first day 18yrs ago we have enjoyed the quiet friendliness of Vicarage Lane in a thriving village community. Making many local friends and sharing the joy of exploring the New Forest through walks from our door. In this north-east corner of the New Forest we have rarely been stuck in traffic with all the route options available. We can confidently recommend The Brackens as a lovely comfortable home base from which to entertain or travel from.\"

All of the reception rooms and the principal bedrooms enjoy dual aspects and consequently offer a light and airy feel, with the master boasting a spacious en-suite bathroom and bedroom four benefiting from French doors to a sun terrace. The M27 motorway and the open New Forest are both within a couple of miles with Lyndhurst and Romsey both equidistant.
