Historic studio annexe for two with New Forest on your doorstep

A cosy studio annexe set within the historic grounds of Wheelwrights Post, just outside the charming town of Fordingbridge. Designed with couples in mind, this compact yet characterful hideaway blends rustic charm with modern comforts – a peaceful retreat right opposite the New Forest National Park.

Tucked beside the owners' heritage home, the property sits on what was once a bustling wheelwright's workshop, bakery, and post office in the 1830s. While modest in size, the studio is stylishly furnished and thoughtfully arranged for a restful stay. Shared lawned gardens, bike storage, and a private sitting-out area add to the charm.
