Glenville House

Sleeps 8 or up to 10

Glenville House is just outside the New Forest.

Glenville House accommodates 8 or up to 10 people in an Edwardian house.

This Holiday Cottage is located in the South - West corner of the New Forest, at Walkford. The Forest itself is only a short drive, as are the beaches at Highcliffe in the opposite direction.

The area is easily reached by road, being close to the A35 which runs the picturesque route through the New Forest From Lyndhurst to Christchurch. Hinton Admiral Railway station is also within walking distance. Local shops and pubs are both within a few minutes walk, with Highliffe a short drive or a reasonable walk away which has restaurants, including a very good Thai restaurant and an excellent Chinese take-away, seafood restaurants, many cafés and coffee shops, as well as fish and chip shops and pubs, some with restaurants.

Beaches are at Highcliffe and also at Highcliffe Castle, a particularly quiet beach approached through woodland. The Castle and grounds, and tea room are also open to the public. Highcliffe is a mile away, an easy walk.

The whole of the New Forest is within easy reach by car, as is the quayside town of Christchurch, excellent for boating with rivers and the natural harbour formed by the Hengistbury Head spit.

The Lounge

The large lounge space has a contemporary working open fireplace, and the floors have been fitted with newly sanded reclaimed floorboards.

The kitchen has granite worktops, new integrated appliances, a large range cooker, and a fridge/freezer. It is open to the dining space which seats all 8 guests.

Bedroom 1

Glenville House has 4double bedrooms. If booked for 9 or 10, single beds are added to one or two of the largest bedrooms. There is a bathroom upstairs and a separate shower room and a cloakroom downstairs.

The large lounge has decking outside accessed by full width opening sliding & folding doors. The garden has an enclosed decked and lawned area. If Walkford house next door is vacant we will usually remove part of the dividing fence allowing the use of that garden too.

The property retains the original features including the wooden sliding sash windows and stripped pine paneled doors. The original cast iron fireplaces have been preserved, and the ground floor has newly sanded and fitted reclaimed floorboards throughout, many of which were saved from the original house, with additional boards saved from nearby Sway Place Manor on it's demolition.
