Walkford House
is just outside the New Forest.
Walkford House accommodates up to 8
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. Higcliffe is just 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.


One of the many fireplaces! This one
is in Bedroom 1 |

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


Walkford House has 3 double bedrooms plus a room with a pair of single bunk beds.

There is a bathroom upstairs 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 Glenville
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 its demolition.
