The Merrie Thought was originally built around 1900 for Miss Christine Hulse of Breamore on land belonging to the Breamore family estate in an Arts and Crafts style. Since then, it has undergone several refurbishments and significant modernisation, yet retains all the elegant properties and features of a period home of its era, including a number of working fireplaces, beautiful tall ceilings, a cellar and attic rooms.
The current owners have lived there for almost 20 years, and it has been a much-loved family house, suitable for multi-generational living.
Whether the next custodians are equestrian lovers, car enthusiasts, avid gardeners or purely just looking to enjoy private family living, The Merrie Thought really is the jewel in the northern New Forest’s crown.
