Property description

Little Acre is a stunning home offering exceptional accommodation in excess of 3000 sq.ft. enjoying the most idyllic of locations within the highly regarded New Forest village of Nomansland.

Owners Comments
“30 years ago we were looking for a home in a peaceful, rural, but not remote position with convenient access to the motorway. We found our idyllic location in Nomansland. The village green, local pub and wonderful French restaurant in addition to the recreational delights of the New Forest with the added bonus of tennis courts and playground at Nomansland Recreation Ground made it an easy decision.”

“We can’t think of anywhere we would rather have brought up our children. The extended space meant that we did not have to move and the space works well. They both had a great start at the highly accredited village preschool, then at the excellent New Forest Primary in Nomansland and progressed to the Grammar Schools at Salisbury, then to university and beyond.”

Introduction
Accommodation of this size is rarely available within New Forest villages and this home manages to combine its large family living space with a most serene and tranquil of settings, enjoying private gardens of ½ acre overlooking woodland and farmland beyond. Nestled at the end of a private country lane, within easy walking distance of the local amenities, Little Acre has been extended over the years to provide six well proportioned bedrooms, the exquisite master suite benefitting from an ensuite bathroom, dressing room and delightful south facing balcony.
