Welcome

Where the
New Forest
begins to quiet.

Tucked just beyond the traditional Hampshire town of Fordingbridge — surrounded by rolling countryside and the slow, breathing expanse of the Cranborne Chase AONB — The Coach House waits.

Resting on the extensive grounds of the owner's home, this beautifully converted coach house occupies the upper floor: a single, soaring space crowned by vaulted ceilings and the original beams of its working past. Light moves across the timber from dawn until the last copper dusk.

Below, set apart within the garden, your own private spa garden waits — a hot tub beneath the open sky, with nothing but the call of buzzards and the rustle of the woods to keep you company.

The Sanctuary

One room,
three lives —
living, dining, dreaming.

The upstairs floor has been opened into a single, generous volume. Vaulted ceilings trace the building's agricultural bones; original beams run their full length above your head. There is no clutter here — only space, light, and the kind of quiet that asks you to stay another morning.

At one end, the multi-fuel burner crackles through cool evenings. At the other, a 55″ Freeview Smart TV with Netflix folds away when not in use. Between them: a long dining table made for slow breakfasts and longer dinners.

Vaulted original beams Hand-finished timber, exposed and preserved.

Multi-fuel burner Logs supplied. Spring water on the hearth.

55″ Smart TV Freeview, Netflix, iPlayer. Or simply off.

Breathtaking views Across the grounds to open countryside.

The Spaces

Four corners,
one quiet idea.

Every detail of The Coach House has been considered for two. No second bedroom, no compromise — just one beautifully resolved retreat.

The Living Floor

Open-Plan Living

A single, luminous room where living, dining and kitchen flow together beneath the original beams. The multi-fuel burner anchors one end; the kitchen — fully fitted, washer-dryer in the utility below — the other.

Spa Garden

Private Spa Garden

Set separately within the property. A hot tub under the open sky, surrounded by hedging and the sounds of the countryside.

Bedroom

The Bedroom

One generous double, dressed in natural linens, framing views across the grounds to the rolling fields beyond.

We've stayed in many converted barns — this is the one we keep coming back to. The light through those beams in the morning, the quiet of the spa garden at night… it's the closest we've come to actually switching off.
