Fountain Court is a rare, early 20th-century Arts and Crafts country estate set within about 65 acres of New Forest landscape. The Grade II listed main house (built 1916) offers exceptionally large reception rooms, an orangery, a 1,500-bottle wine cellar, and a principal suite with extensive dressing accommodation. Formal terraces overlook a five-acre lake with boathouse and island, and many main bedrooms have lake views.
The grounds are comprehensive for equestrian and leisure use: six stables, five paddocks, manège, tennis court, swimming pool, outbuildings, a listed cottage and a separate staff flat. A private entrance gives direct access onto some 90,000 acres of New Forest common — excellent for riding, walking and country pursuits. Road links place Southampton 13 miles and Winchester 19 miles; Southampton Parkway rail services provide a direct route to London.
Important practical points: the house is Grade II listed, so alterations will require consent and may limit work. The size, age and status mean ongoing maintenance and running costs are substantial; council tax is described as very expensive. The wider local area is rural with limited services, and some nearby community measures indicate local deprivation despite good private school options in the wider area.
This property suits a buyer seeking a major historic country house with extensive leisure and equestrian facilities, a need for sensitive stewardship of a listed building, and the resources to manage large grounds and significant upkeep.
