New Forest Park is a small, peaceful residential park in Hampshire, exclusive to the over-45s and set just moments from the New Forest National Park. Detached, single-storey park homes sit in landscaped grounds with private gardens and off-road parking, around two miles from the Solent coast. This pet-friendly community offers a quiet, semi-rural lifestyle with village amenities close by and easy links to Southampton, Hythe and the wider south coast. New Forest Park is a strong alternative to a traditional bungalow for anyone wanting to downsize without compromising on comfort or location.

Description

New Forest Park is laid out as a modern, low-density development with a limited number of park homes arranged along quiet internal roads. Each home is detached, single-storey, and typically comes with its own garden area and driveway, giving a bungalow-style feel but with less external maintenance than many brick properties. The park has a friendly, settled atmosphere, with neighbours often knowing each other by name and a calm pace of life.

Set on West Common at Langley, the park is on the edge of the New Forest and within easy reach of coastal walks, woodland trails and local beaches along the Solent. Everyday amenities such as shops, pubs, healthcare and supermarkets can be found in nearby villages and in Hythe, with Southampton and larger south coast centres within driving distance. Bus routes and road links connect the park to surrounding towns, while rail services from local stations provide onward journeys to Southampton, Bournemouth, London and beyond, journey times service dependent.
