Tracing its roots to the 18th century, Brockenhurst Park has witnessed the rise and fall of empires, the changing tides of fashion, and the enduring allure of nature.
It was originally owned by Edward Morant, who replaced the existing farmhouse with a Georgian mansion.
The Morant family acquired more land and expanded the estate, creating ornamental gardens and lakes.
After the Second World War, the park was sold and the original mansion was demolished. A new house was built, and the gardens were restored.
Today, Brockenhurst Park remains a private residence, listed as a Grade II listed building.
It features a striking North Lodge and a historic ice house.
