Walnut Barn is a sympathetically converted former lambing barn set within the walnut orchards of the owner’s farm. The rural views and tranquil setting make for a peaceful escape to this beautiful part of the New Forest National Park, and the dark sky area affords plenty of night-time stargazing opportunities. The tiny hamlet of Hale is clustered around a traditional village green, with the Avon Valley Path passing through and a well-stocked local shop.
The single storey pet friendly barn has a large entrance porch, perfect for kicking off muddy boots and drying wet dogs! The open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area form the heart of the accommodation, and underfloor heating throughout makes this a great choice for out of season breaks too. French doors lead out to the wrap-around decking and into the orchards beyond, and a fire pit, which doubles as a barbeque, is perfect for enjoying the long summer evenings.
Both bedrooms are light and airy with French doors opening onto the decked area. The master bedroom with king size bed has a luxurious ensuite bathroom, and the twin bedded second bedroom has a pristine ensuite shower room, with large walk in rain shower. There is a separate utility room offering washing and drying facilities, and storage for bikes.
Outside, wildlife is plentiful, with regular visits from deer and pheasants, and local walks and cycle rides are right on your doorstep. The picturesque town of Fordingbridge is 6 miles away, with its shops and riverside pubs and restaurants and historic Salisbury is 9 miles away. Enjoy water based activities at the nearby New Forest Water Park or explore the popular activity Go Ape! At Moors Valley Country Park, both within a 15 minute drive.
The barn is set within the walnut orchards of the owners' own farm. The private decked area stretches along the rear of the barn, and leads onto the grassed orchard which is fenced. There is a fire pit, which doubles as a barbeque, and garden furniture for guests use.
Enjoy the plentiful wildlife as badgers, deer and pheasants may be seen throughout the grounds.
As the garden is not fully enclosed dogs and children must be supervised at all times.
