Set on a private no-through lane within the New Forest National Park, New Mead House is a spacious five-bedroom detached home arranged over three floors. The house suits a family seeking generous reception space, with a large sitting room featuring a working open fire, a sociable kitchen/diner with underfloor heating, and a substantial garden room overlooking a well-landscaped, partly walled rear garden. The third-floor bedroom and separate office offer flexible space for a teenager, home working or a dependant relative suite.
Practical strengths include a double garage, off-road parking for four vehicles behind a five-bar gate, ultrafast broadband availability (up to 1800Mbps), and excellent mobile signal. The property sits close to forest footpaths and Brockenhurst village amenities including the railway station with direct links to London Waterloo, and is within easy reach of Lymington and the M27.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property carries a Council Tax Band G and is described as “quite expensive” to run; the local crime level is recorded as very high for the area; some interior elements are dated (notably the 1980s-style living room) and may benefit from modernising. The home is detached, built c.1900–1929 with filled cavity walls and gas central heating supplemented by an air-source heat pump and electric heating.
Overall, this is an attractive family house in a rare village setting with substantial garden and parking, costing more to run than average but offering excellent connectivity, flexible living space and strong potential for sympathetic updating.
