The period detail is complemented by the superb kitchen/breakfast room and the good quality traditional style bathroom suites. There are excellent living and entertaining rooms on the ground floor and bedrooms and bathrooms on both the first and second floors.

On the eastern side of the Great Hall is the dining room that has a large inglenook fireplace with oak bressamer and ceiling beams above.

Gardens The magnificent gardens surround the property and offer a variety of themes from classical lawn terraces with clipped hedging to wild flower copses and a Provence-style courtyard. All elevations of the house provide access to the gardens but they are perhaps best approached from the conservatory. The gardens include formal lawns, terraces, a gravel walk, two rectangular ponds with central fountains, a laburnum walk, a yew walk and an enclosed garden with trailing roses and an enclosed square garden with high beech and yew hedging.

Mature flowering perennial beds border the house and from here vines, roses, clematis and a magnolia grow.History While the earliest evidence of a house on this site dates back to the 13th century, it is recorded that the present structure grew around the central hall and dates from about 1350. The 16th century saw the insertion of the first floor and the division of the hall into four rooms with the addition of the two cross wings at the east and west end. It is believed that during repairs and modernisation in 1482, the hall became stone clad and the dais window installed, There were also alterations to windows and doors at this time. The name "Parkes Court" is believed to originate from 1471, having been home to the De Parco family for several generations.In 1604 The Seaman family became tenants of the house and farm, thereafter known as Acres Farm with land of some 500 acres. The Seaman family and their marriage connections remained in the property until the latter part of the 18th century; their occupation witnessing the installation of the fine 17th century oak staircase and further alterations to windows and doors. The history of the house during the 19th century is scarce but it is known that in 1928, Parks Court was acquired by the War Department, remaining in their ownership for the greater part of this century. In 1985, a programme of substantial restoration and modernisation was begun.

Lt-Col Trevor Horn and his family purchased Luckington Court in 1947; he was renowned in the area for being the first director of the world's most prestigious three day event, Badminton Horse Trials and remained at the helm until 1956. It has remained in the Horn family to this day. The property saw extensive renovations in 2003 which were conducted in a compassionate way to both improve and modernise the Estate.

A first-class farming and sporting estate with commanding principal house overlooking its own land DescriptionIntroductionSituated high on a ridge, on the Hampshire / Wiltshire border, Buckholt Estate has been restored and rejuvenated by the current owner. The ring-fenced estate comprises of just under 1,000 acres of rolling chalk downland in the middle of which sits Buckholt House. Buckholt House was built by the current owners, tastefully designed in harmony with the surrounding landscape in a traditional style. The house has 12,000 sq ft of modern living accommodation, with a number of period features helping it to sit well within its surroundings. There are three farm cottages together with a beautifully appointed 9 bedroom guest house for shoot guests with an adjoining staff flat. The house has fabulous views across the estate to the South and beyond to the New Forest and the Isle of Wight. On a clear day from the highest point on the estate you can see five counties as well as the Isle of Wight. The pasture is farmed in hand with a herd of rare breed White Park cattle. The arable is contract farmed and the modern farm buildings provide ample storage and handling facilities for the farming business. The landscape lends itself to shooting and the Buckholt shoot is well renowned and will be hosting 28 days in the 2023/2024 season. Historically Buckholt formed part of a royal forest, adjoining the north-east corner of the New Forest. Its name arose because the bowl that comprises most of the land at Buckholt was not traditionally hunted over and was a place of sanctuary for deer, the Buck's Holt. Owned by the Baring family, the estate formed part of the Norman Court Estate in the 1870's and during this period the former Buckholt House was built as the Dower House. In the late 19th Century the property was sold to the Singer Family. The house and a small acreage of the farm were tenanted by the artist Lionel Edwards from the 1920's until he purchased it when the estate was sold and split up in the 50's. Whilst in their tenure, the current owners have been able to restore the holding to it's original size and improve it both residentially and agriculturally.Buckholt HouseBuckholt House was built in 2011 and covers some 12,000 square feet of modern living accommodation.

There are a range of secondary farm buildings which may have potential for alternative use as per the above illustration. This would be subject to securing the necessary planning consents.The Farm: The rolling landscape that makes up Buckholt Estate provides a wonderful mix of sporting interest and farming potential. The arable land is contract farmed under a traditional arable rotation most recently including spring barley, winter wheat and oats. The estate also maintains a suckler herd of rare White Park cattle which graze the downland as well as the pasture surrounding the house and buildings. The farm is entered into an Entry Level plus Higher Level Stewardship agreement which terminates in 2027. The Shoot: The shoot at Buckholt is a highly regarded private and commercial shoot with a wonderful combination of pheasant, partridge and mixed drives; the signature drives being Round Hat, Rifle Range, Bullock's Hole and Clockwork which offer a high number of challenging birds.
