The bedrooms are pared-back: they feature natural materials and rich colours
Upstairs, four bedrooms and as many bathrooms provide ample space for a large family, though would also make brilliant guest accommodation. Here, as in the rest of the house, colour has been used sparingly, and is contained to textiles such as headboards and curtains.
Despite all of the covetable space and refined decoration inside, it is the outside where this house really sings. Here, a manicured garden, complete with a vegetable patch, swimming pool and a sauna, unfolds onto the surrounding, deeply magical woodlands which lend the area its name. Just half a mile away is Lymington, a quaint seaside town packed with restaurants and pubs serving up sensational fresh seafood. Also nearby is Brockenhurst Station, which runs regular, direct services straight into London – making commuting from this most idyllic of houses perfectly possible. At just £10 for 15 raffle tickets, this one feels like a no-brainer.
