Moving to Brockenhurst
Brockenhurst is a beautiful village nestled in the New Forest, is officially declared as Britain’s Most Beautiful Place to Live and is rich with charm and history.
New Forest ponies, donkeys, and cows are often found roaming the streets and the tea rooms, pubs, and restaurants are coveted by residents and holidaymakers alike.
There are often a number of retirement properties for sale in Brockenhurst, but rarely any flats or terraced homes as most homes are semidetached or detached.
Renting is not big business in Brockenhurst and there are often only a handful of properties on the rental market at a time.
