THIS country house with a swimming pool and tennis court that is set in its own private valley is up for sale in the New Forest for nearly £6million.

Hemmick Court boasts wonderful views over its beautiful gardens, grounds and lake, and across to the Forest and the valley beyond.

The seven-bedroom property has been refurbished with the help of an interior designer.
