Summary - FLAT 2, NORTHERWOOD HOUSE, SWAN GREEN, LYNDHURST, EMERY DOWN SO43 7DT
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Large two-bedroom ground-floor apartment with gardens, double garage and forest views in Lyndhurst.
Ground-floor two-bedroom garden apartment with private terrace and lawn
Set on the ground floor of Northerwood House, this exceptionally large two-bedroom garden apartment offers direct access to private terrace and expansive communal lawns that extend across around six acres. The southerly aspect fills principal rooms with light and delivers long views across the New Forest towards the Isle of Wight. A recently constructed detached double garage in a separate block provides rare, secure parking for the location. The property is sold chain-free with a long lease and share of freehold.
The apartment retains much period character within a Grade II listed Georgian mansion: high ceilings, full-height sash windows and classical external architecture. Internally the layout is generous — a living/dining room with terrace access, two double bedrooms (one with ensuite) and a second bathroom — making this a comfortable home for downsizers or buyers seeking a low-stairs garden apartment close to Lyndhurst high street.
Buyers should note the building’s listed status will restrict alterations and require consent for many works; this may complicate remodelling. The kitchen is a dated 1970s fit and would benefit from modernisation. Service charges are above average at £4,416 per year and communal grounds are maintained under contract. Broadband speeds are limited in the area and may not suit heavy streaming or home-working without checking provider options.
Practical positives include a very long remaining lease (246 years from 2020), peppercorn ground rent and no flood risk. The location within the New Forest National Park gives direct access to open forest walks and village amenities, while transport links (near Brockenhurst rail and the M27) make London access feasible for occasional commuters.
