Martin nestles within the rolling countryside of the Cranborne Chase, where a network of country paths and bridle ways provide lovely walking and riding opportunities across Martin Down, and much of the village and surrounding countryside is a designated conservation area. Within Martin is a Church and Village Hall, from which a local shop is run during the week and on Saturday. Neighbouring Damerham (approx. 3 miles) has a reputable primary school, garage and public house, whilst the Avonside town of Fordingbridge (approx. 6 miles) has services to cater for most everyday needs, including primary and secondary schools, shops, an excellent health centre and sporting facilities. The outdoor enthusiast is catered for not only by the surrounding countryside but also the New Forest National Park.
A pair of wooden gates open to a generous driveway to the front and side of the house and leads to a former detached garage with roller door that provides a storage area 4.65m (15ft 3in) x 3.96m (13ft 0in) and OFFICE 4.65m (15ft 3in) x 1.83m (6ft 0in). Power and light are connected to both.
The gardens at Longastre are a delightful feature of the property. The principal section of garden is located to the rear (south), where a patio area adjoins the back of the house that can be accessed via the sitting room. A central area of lawn runs away from the house beyond the patio, bordered by a mature, well stocked flower and shrub bed. A raised deck overlooks the garden from the farthest corner, where there is also a large shed. Behind the garage lies a further area of lawned garden and the plot in total extends to just under 1/4 acre.
