Greenwood

All the essential details.

Here's your full run down of this place, inside and out...

Inside

Greenwood is an attractive Edwardian house with character and charm, big feature bays and a contemporary garden-room style dining area off the kitchen.
The covered porch leads into a wide reception hallway with original staircase running up to the first and second floors of the house. On one side of the hall is a colourful snug and on the other a very generous sitting room for relaxing, styled with lots of pale wood and huge sofas heaped with cushions in soft garden shades of green, blue and pink. However, perhaps the main hang-out is the massive orangery-style kitchen-dining-family room with tv. Decorated in breezy coastal blues and whites, this light-filled space is large enough for everyone to gather. There’s a table that can comfortably seat up to 12, and deep, squashy sofas in the sitting area, while the kitchen is fully equipped for rustling up supper. Throw open those French windows to eat al fresco or picnic in the garden. Off the kitchen there’s also a useful utility space for muddy boots from Forest forays. And off the hallway there’s a cloakroom.

Up those impressive stairs to the first floor where there’s a master bedroom in restful deep blues with super king sleigh bed for luxe slumbers, walk-in wardrobe, and ensuite with a supersized deep bath for long, leisurely soaks. Another bedroom has twin small doubles and bookshelves stacked with Narnia and Harry Potter adventures. There are two additional double bedrooms on this floor – one styled in leaf green and raspberry and another in muted stormy sky blues.

On the second floor are two more gorgeous doubles, both in shades of white and berry, with high treetop views and sloping eaves. There are two family bathrooms – one on the first floor and one on the second. All in all, this is both a gorgeous and a wonderfully practical retreat for multi-families and multi-generational escapes.

This traditional family home has it all, including a huge garden for lots of outside fun, along with easy access to adventuring as open Forest is just across the road. It’s an invitation to make memories.

Outside

Greenwood is all about its garden and gorgeous Foresty location. Through the gate and park up on the gravelled driveway. Now, with your back to the house, draw breath and gaze over the fence toward the open Forest on the other side of the lane, stretching away far and wide. Wow.

It’s wow again when you turn back to the house. The humongous wrap-around garden is a dream for outdoorsy families. It has everything needed to keep everyone happy, and then some. Take a splash in the outdoor pool (available May half term to Early September). Pretend you’re Andy Murray or Serena Williams on the tennis court. There’s masses of space to run wild and free, kick a ball, clamber up the climbing frame or whizz along the zip wire for fun, fun, fun. And rain never stops play as a separate outbuilding houses a cinema room and a games room with snooker and table tennis.

The pool measures 22ft by 42ft, with a depth ranging from 3.6ft at the shallow end to 6ft at the deep end, gently sloping towards the deeper section.

The less active can sit on the terrace and watch the wildlife go by – possibly with a glass of something refreshing to hand. Tuck into a late supper outside, look up and stargaze – Brockenhurst’s wide dark night skies are a real spectacle.

Home truths

The nights get very dark and while we love this about Greenwood, if you’re going out for supper do take a torch with you (unless it is a clear moonlit night).

Fireplaces are non working and out of use.

The lead guest will need to agree to a waiver prior to using any of the facilities outdoors to confirm that the guests staying at the house will be using equipment at your own risk.

Please note that the pool is not gated or enclosed, so for safety reasons, children must be supervised at all times when using the pool or in the surrounding area. The pool cover will remain off once the pool is open for the season. Please note that external factors could impact the pool temperature.

The first-floor balcony is out of use and not available for guest access during your stay.

For security reasons there is a ring camera installed outside of the property.

Accessibility

All bedrooms are on the first and second floors.
