Summary - FOREST GATE SWAY ROAD BROCKENHURST SO42 7SG
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious family home with large outbuildings close to the New Forest.
Approximately 1/3 acre plot with mature fruit trees
Forest Gate is a substantial four-bedroom detached home set on approximately a 1/3 acre plot in the heart of the New Forest. The house offers a flexible layout for family life: separate sitting and dining rooms, a sunny family/breakfast room, ground-floor snug and study, plus a master bedroom with en-suite. Generous parking, a double garage and extensive outbuildings provide practical space for vehicles, storage or hobby use.
The kitchen and utility areas are well equipped and functional, and the property benefits from a Worcester gas boiler and an EPC rating of C. The large rear garden, mature fruit trees, greenhouse and hardstanding give real outdoor potential — the sizable outbuilding could be subdivided or adapted for ancillary accommodation or workshop use (subject to consents).
Buyers should note a few material points: the house dates from circa 1900 and will suit those happy to carry ongoing maintenance or cosmetic updating. Council tax is described as quite expensive and local recorded crime levels are very high — important factors for budgeting and security planning. There is excellent local convenience: Brockenhurst village centre, shops and the open forest are within walking distance, and the mainline station offers direct services to London Waterloo.
