The main house has four large bedrooms. Brimming with charm and practicality, it was developed seven years ago, after being converted from a bungalow.
Key character elements, including original wooden floors, a garden well and large cellar, remain intact. A 95-year-old woman who lived on the property used to collect water from the well every day.
For privacy lovers, there are no neighbors in sight.
The glass conservatory space has been converted into a living space with exquisite views of the New Forest.
In addition, there is a sauna, a swimming pool and a bathroom with a double waterfall shower next to the pool for those thinking about luxury living.
The property also features a three-bedroom annexe, two reception rooms, an agricultural barn, a log cabin, stables and paddocks, all with two separate gated entrances.
Charlotte, who moved into the property in 2022, told This is Money: ‘The first day we came here I showered with the balcony doors wide open and watched the deer play in the grounds below. “I felt like a Disney princess.”

Since moving in, Charlotte has been running her film studios, Branded Studios, from the property, which is marketed through SK Property Group and available for see on Rightmove.
She said: ‘This property has been incredible, serving as our main family home along with a home studio, recording studio, editing rooms, home office and much more. It’s truly versatile, with huge income potential or perfect for multi-generational living.
“I know my teenager has certainly enjoyed his own music room and place to spend the night, where he can make as much noise as he wants without disturbing anyone.”
Looking ahead, Charlotte believes she will stay in or near the New Forest until her teenage son leaves the nest.
She said: ‘It has certainly been a year of change. Hitting the big 4-0 has definitely made me evaluate things and unfortunately, the dream home that I thought would be mine forever is one of the things I can’t take with me into this next chapter. I’m still excited.’
