St Leonards Grange can trace its history back to the 1100s when the existing building and chapel were constructed to serve the new Cistercian Abbey in Beaulieu. Granges were in many ways ecclesiastical farms where monks would live, work and pray. The productive surrounding farmland and nearby ruined chapel are the most prevalent features that bear timeless witness to the past 800 years of life at the house. During the Dissolution of the monasteries during the 1530s the chapel was ruined and many dressed stones from there and the house itself were repurposed fortifying the coastal approaches, specifically the Solent Forts which guard the straits between the Isle of Wight and the mainland. However, subtle reminders remain in the form of mullioned stained glass windows in the main house and the inimitable calm serenity of the chapel itself. The house which is Grade II Listed was entirely overhauled by the current owners and now combines centuries of history with modern comforts. There is underfloor heating throughout the ground floor and a bathroom for every bedroom on the upper floors. Accommodation throughout is warm and intimate rather than grand and imposing and there remains the potential (subject to the necessary consents) to extend the accommodation further.On the ground floor is a central entrance hall flanked by the dining room and a separate sitting room with open fire place and views down the lavender lined drive. The drawing room has a bay window overlooking the garden with French windows opening onto the terrace. There is also an open fire with a stone surround.

The second floor is currently arranged as a games room with a further fifth en suite bedroom. From this floor one can directly access significant store rooms and attic space that have the potential for conversion to further accommodation subject to the necessary consents. One of the finest approaches to a country house in the south. A uniquely designed silent cattle grid leads to a pale gravel drive flanked by exquisite lavender beds and trimmed Irish yew trees give a sense of the Pays d'Oc in this most quintessential of English settings. Commanding direct views straight down the drive to the masts of the Beaulieu River the house sits centrally with mature formal gardens which have been beautifully planted over many decades to provide enduring charm and the sense of effortless elegance.The drive is flanked by level formal lawns which give way to parkland that provides the principal outlook from the house. This parkland gives way to paddock land which extends to the north of the house. The more secluded gardens lie to the south of the house and can be accessed from the principal rooms via French windows in the kitchen, rear hall and drawing room. Immediately adjacent to the house is a mix of stone terrace and brick paviour pathways surrounded by beautifully planted borders. Ancillary to the main house is a collection of traditional outbuildings which have been carefully designed to provide extensive garaging, with an electric charging point, for both cars and boats as well as storage for the necessary equipment to manage the 11 acres of gardens and grounds.Above the garaging is a two bedroom flat with a large sitting room, kitchen breakfast room, utility room and bathroom.There is also a spacious workshop supported by several store rooms. Serving the tennis court and swimming pool is a dual aspect Studio which is adjacent to a changing room, and wc. The remainder of the upper floors of the outbuilding is dedicated to a 17m sail loft with permanent staircase and this space could make an ideal expansive home office.Of particular note is the extremely picturesque ruined chapel, believed to date from around the year 1200 which is one of only 13 Grade I Listed buildings in the New Forest. The space within the chapel is exceptionally peaceful and has been enhanced by a paved floor making it a charming and atmospheric spot for dining or larger parties.Opening onto fenced paddocks are three stables each measuring approximately 13' x 11' and all with doors onto the stable yard.Completing the outbuildings is a traditional Granary on staddle stones which is Grade II Listed in its own right and serves as a charming accompaniment to the productive kitchen garden and timber framed greenhouse.In short, all amenities that one would expect to accompany a fine country house are provided in spades and flow effortlessly to create an extremely appealing home.

An historic country seat DescriptionThe house is approached via Grade II listed ornate wrought iron gates. Beyond, a sweeping drive leads through immaculate pasture and parkland where sheep and deer nestle under century old trees. The house itself is a Grade II* Listed mansion house, whilst the immaculate Grade I parkland allows for French style vistas from the house across landscaped avenues to uninterrupted countryside. This historic house has been painstakingly restored to its nineteenth century grandeur complete with original detailing and craftsmanship. Whilst infinitely beautiful and grand it readily fulfils its function as a home for entertaining; easily accommodating family, guests and staff. It is skilfully designed for a life with service, having numerous staircases and ancillary rooms to allow staff to discreetly pass between family and entertaining areas. The botanical gardens and grounds hold as much historic interest as the house and have a rich botanical and architectural story to tell. The layout of the gardens dates back to the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries and their design is attributed to Charles Bridgeman and James Gibbs. The Park, with medieval origins forms part of an impressive and natural landscape fit for a house of this stature. Today the grounds are a perfect balance of manicured lawns, avenues, walks and terraces, interspersed with specimen trees. Beyond the formal design are large expanses of pasture which join woodland and farmland in the far distance, as well as Hackwood's own deer park and an ornamental eighteenth century woodland garden. Spring Wood, thought to be the sole surviving example of a garden wood that is laid out in the French style has eight sectors divided by walkways, many of which hide historic wonders including a temple, a fountain and an amphitheatre. In the spring, the woodland is a picture of colour filled with bulbs and wild flowers. Hackwood Park enjoys stunning, uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside. The estate also includes a number of additional properties including a stable yard and coach house, two detached houses and two entrance lodges.
