A charming two bedroom apartment within an imposing country house built in the
1880s by Mary Braddon, a Victorian novelist, sympathetically converted into 10
apartments in the 1970s.
It is set in approximately one acre of landscaped grounds, which are
maintained by a gardener with extensive areas of lawns and many fine specimen
flowering plants, shrubs and trees, including well established yew topiary and
hedging.
Annesley House is located in the idyllic and highly sought after hamlet of
Bank which has direct forest access, a popular local pub and a friendly
community. Bank is 1. 5 miles south west of the village of Lyndhurst, the
renowned as the capital of the New Forest. Situated on the open forest, the
hamlet boasts a number of attractive dwellings, both large and small, many
affording fine open views over the surrounding farmland and forest. The highly
regarded Oak Inn pub is a short walk away.
The nearby village of Brockenhurst (approximately 5 miles south) has a
mainline rail connection to London Waterloo (journey time approximately 90
minutes).
The Georgian market town of Lymington, known for its Saturday Charter Market,
river, marinas and yacht clubs, is situated approximately 8 miles due south.
Junction 1 of the M27 is approximately 4 miles north providing access across
the forest to serve Bournemouth, Southampton and the M3.
