The Stable Annex

The Stable Annex is a self‑contained barn annex set within a smallholding on the edge of the New Forest National Park, offering an appealing rural base for couples, solo travellers, and equestrian guests.

Accessed via a private, gated entrance, the annex opens into a light‑filled open‑plan living space beneath a sloping ceiling, where skylights and a large picture window draw the eye across the surrounding fields and open land.

The sitting area is arranged for laid‑back evenings after a day outdoors, while the dining table creates a natural spot for leisurely breakfasts or supper together.

The kitchen is neatly fitted and well suited to simple self‑catering during your stay.

The bedroom continues the loft‑style character of the space, with a super‑king‑size bed, storage and dressing area, and a skylight overhead that brings in natural daylight.

A sleek shower room completes the accommodation, featuring a walk‑in shower and smart, contemporary finishes.

Outside, the annex sits within a working rural environment surrounded by mature trees and grazing land, adding to the sense of being immersed in the countryside.

On‑site parking is available, with space suitable for horse lorries and trailers, and stabling for up to two horses can be arranged by prior agreement.

A public footpath runs directly from the property, offering immediate access for walking, cycling, or riding into the New Forest National Park, which lies around five minutes away.

The location provides an excellent starting point for exploring the New Forest and its varied landscapes.

Forest tracks lead through ancient woodland and open heath, where ponies, donkeys, and cattle roam freely.

Nearby villages such as Lyndhurst, often regarded as the heart of the Forest, offer independent shops, cafés, and visitor information, while Brockenhurst is well placed for scenic walks and access to open moorland.

To the south, the Georgian market town of Lymington is known for its Saturday market, cobbled streets, and sailing heritage, with views across the Solent to the Isle of Wight.

Local attractions include Beaulieu, home to the National Motor Museum and the historic abbey ruins, Buckler’s Hard, a riverside hamlet with strong maritime links, and miles of waymarked trails that weave through woodland, along river valleys, and out towards the coast.

Whether you are planning long days exploring on foot or horseback, or simply dipping in and out of nearby villages, the area offers variety throughout the year.

Welcoming up to two pets, The Stable Annex combines a practical rural setting with direct access to forest trails, making it an inviting base for enjoying one of southern England’s most celebrated landscapes.
