Hamptworth is first mentioned in the early 13th century. Manor Farm dates from the 15th century. From the 17th to late 19th century, settlement consisted of farms along the Redlynch-Landford road.

Hamptworth has a pub, the Cuckoo Inn, an early 18th-century building. Hamptworth also has a golf club, Hamptworth Golf & Country Club. The course was designed and constructed in 1994 by Philip Sanders and Brian D Pierson.

The local school is the New Forest Primary School which has two sites: for younger children at Landford and older children at Nomansland. The latter began as a National School of 1867 on Hamptworth common, then in the 20th century the village of Nomansland expanded to surround it.

A Wesleyan Methodist chapel was built in 1876 near the north end of Lyburn Road; it closed in the 1970s.

Hamptworth Lodge is a country house built in 1912 in the Tudor style, to designs of Sir Guy Dawber. It was built to replace a seventeenth century building, parts of which have been incorporated into the present structure. It is constructed of Flemish bond brick with timber-framing and has a tiled roof and ornamental brick chimney stacks. The house is Grade II* listed. A much older house is to be found in Whiteparish Moore Lane, about 1 ³⁄₄ miles (2.8 km) northwest of Hamptworth: a country house called Newhouse which was built in 1619. It is constructed from English bonded brick with limestone dressings and has a tiled roof and brick chimney stacks. It is a Grade I listed building.
