History in the making
WILLIAM LANGMEAD of Strutt & Parker’s Salisbury office (01722 344010) announces the official launch onto the market, in this week’s COUNTRY LIFE, of the historic, 906-acre Newhouse estate, which occupies a gloriously private setting overlooking its park and ancient woodland in the north-east corner of the New Forest National Park, near the village of Redlynch on the Hampshire/Wiltshire border. He seeks ‘offers in excess of £18 million’ for the Newhouse estate with its striking, Grade I-listed main house, built in the early 1600s by William Stockman and sold by him in about 1620 to Sir Edward Gorges, later Baron Gorges.
In 1633, Lord Gorges sold the estate to Giles Eyre of nearby Brickworth House, Whiteparish, whose descendants have remained at Newhouse to this day.
