About this property
Thatchby Oak is a detached thatched house a mile from Brockenhurst, reached along an unmade gravel track and with direct access to the New Forest's cycle and walking tracks. Free-roaming ponies, donkeys and cattle can be seen from the house.
Inside, the dining room has one table for 12, the lounge looks out over the forest and garden, and there's a full-size table tennis table in the conservatory and a games room with a pool table and table football. Outside, fenced and gated lawns surround the house, with a south-facing terrace, a shaded vine-covered seating area and a heated pool.
Brockenhurst has a railway station on the South Western line and several shops; Lymington is six miles off and the shingle beaches at Milford on Sea are nine miles away.
