In its own private grounds at the end of a long drive on the edge of the village, the Manor of Lugwardine dates back to William the Conqueror. Passing down through a series of aristocratic hands, in the 13th century it was gifted to the notorious Simon de Montfort, later killed at the Battle of Evesham. It was then passed to Lord Chandos, and by descent through Lord Beauchamp to the Rede family. In a Deed of 1572, William Rede refers to my mansion at New Court and it was almost unquestionably he who built the existing magnificent East Wing. Having borne witness to such a rich past, it is unsurprising that New Court continues to make an impression.

Just had to share this when I saw this beautiful curved staircase! How utterly lovely is that?

I loved the Famous Five books when I was a child, so moving to Smugglers Cove would be very exciting!

It’s much more common to see photos of properties from the air. I think it’s lovely to see such photos – they can be quite revealing about the location sometimes.
Or how close the other buildings are to the main house, or show you things you can’t see on streetview!

Eaglehurst is a very special country house with the most extraordinary coastline views of The Solent. The house is tucked away in the south of Hampshire within The New Forest National Park and in a very tranquil and peaceful location. The house is approached via a long driveway through surrounding woodland. The gravel driveway swings to the left around the walled garden to reveal a picture of this very pretty house.

How lovely is that!
