Property description

Owners Comments
“The house name “Tevreden” comes from a Dutch word meaning “Content”, which very much sums up our ownership of the house, we really have been very happy here, and would not have considered moving previous to our Post Office business closing, which we ran from Tevreden, for eight years. The Post Office is now located within Landford Stores, it is nice to still have a local village store in the village, supplying everyday needs.”

“The position of Landford, within the New Forest is ideal for wonderful walks and scenery, with an abundance of wildlife, from the New Forest ponies and donkeys, an occasional appearance of deer, and a large helping of various bird species, many found in our garden. It is nice to be in a location so close to the market towns of Salisbury, and Romsey, with a nice array of interesting shops, and places to eat, along with some lovely traditional local pubs. Living in Landford, we are in a position to take advantage of easy access to the M3, M27, and M25 for visiting friends, family, and work.”
