The town, which lies on the banks of the River Avon, is within a short distance of the New Forest Park boundary, provides easy access to a number of important centres. Salisbury is some 11 miles to the north (where there is a mainline rail station to

The Property:
Highfield Hall is a fine example of a Victorian residence built by Josiah Reynolds Neave during the mid 19th Century, a member of a local Quaker family who did much to expand the family milling business, one of the major employers in Fordingbridge which benefited greatly from the arrival of the railway in the mid1860s. Highfield Hall later became a cottage hospital in 1948 and then a private nursing home which was sold and converted into apartments in 2002.
