Fountain Court is a rare, highly private Arts and Crafts manor set on about 65 acres at the edge of Bramshaw and with direct New Forest access. The principal house extends to roughly 12,000 sq ft with grand reception rooms, an orangery and substantial service areas — built for entertaining and family life at scale. The plot includes formal gardens, a 6-acre lake with boathouse, heated outdoor pool, tennis court, and extensive outbuildings.
The estate offers full equestrian facilities: a menège, stable yard with six loose boxes, tack room and direct ride-out to the Forest. A separate two-bedroom lodge and multiple useful outbuildings (log cabin, barn, workshops, garaging) give flexible accommodation for staff, guests or ancillary revenue. Technical features include ultrafast broadband (up to 1800 Mbps), a high-capacity wine cellar and integrated audio/security systems.
Important practical points are presented plainly. Fountain Court is Grade II listed, so alterations will be restricted and require listed-building consent. The house has solid brick walls (likely uninsulated), oil-fired heating and a low current EPC (E, 40), which together indicate significant running and improvement costs. Council tax is very expensive and maintaining 65 acres and many buildings will require ongoing management and budget.
For a buyer seeking an exceptional country lifestyle — equestrian interest, formal entertaining and total privacy — this property is a rare opportunity. It will suit an owner prepared for the responsibilities of a listed, historic estate: conservation-led repairs, energy upgrades where permitted and estate management to preserve the house and grounds for the long term.
