About the area
Hampshire offers a wealth of treasures, from rolling countryside, unspoilt beaches, glorious gardens and pretty villages to ancient forests, bustling market towns, historic ships and imposing castles.
Rockbourne is a pretty, historic village. Home to thatched cottages next to a willow-bordered stream on the edge of the New Forest, Rockbourne is packed full of history with Neolithic and Bronze Age barrows.
In the historic village of Rockbourne is West Park Farm, a working beef and arable farm. Occasionally, if youd like to get involved, you may be able to help the owner with day to day farm tasks, and you are welcome to explore the pretty bluebell wood. Also onsite, you'll find a large pond, and a hard tennis court, which you are welcome to use (but please bring your own racquets). Breaches Barn is full of character, retaining many original features, high raftered ceilings, exposed brickwork and oak timbers, and with its huge central living space is great for family and friends wanting to get and be together. The comfortable and spacious living room has a wood burner, and deep comfy sofas, one of which can be converted into a double bed. The open plan kitchen/dining area is large enough for the whole family to eat and be together. Patio doors lead to your own private, enclosed garden looking over open countryside. There is a newly built extension on the ground-floor of the property, offering a choice of two bedrooms, a king-size double and a super-king-size with zip/link feature that can be made into a twin on request, each with their own en-suite shower rooms, along with outdoor access to this part of the barn with a ramp that leads to a large decking area and is suitable for wheelchairs. Upstairs, the original hay chutes have been retained, (though are now safely sealed off), and the area converted into a galleried sitting area with TV, and twin stacker beds. Also upstairs, three bright sunny bedrooms in the eaves; a double, a twin and family room with three single beds. Breaches Barn is ideally placed for exploring the New Forest, the cathedral city of Salisbury , and the sandy beaches of Bournemouth and Christchurch.
