3 Bed Detached House For Sale

A rare opportunity to acquire a charming renovation project set in delightful grounds of around 0.59 acres within the New Forest National Park.

Built circa the late 1880s, Evelyn Cottage is being offered to the market for the very first time. Full of character and period charm, this delightful property presents a rare opportunity to restore and re-imagine a traditional home to modern standards. The cottage has remained largely untouched for some time and now requires a comprehensive program of renovation and potentially extension, subject to the necessary consents. With thoughtful design and sympathetic updating, Evelyn Cottage could be transformed into a truly exceptional home that blends its historic character with contemporary comfort and style.

Currently arranged over two floors, the accommodation offers excellent potential and comprises three bedrooms, three reception rooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom. Set within approximately 0.59 acres, the grounds provide an abundance of opportunity to create beautiful, landscaped gardens and a generous driveway. The plot benefits from two dropped kerb access points, offering flexibility for entry and parking. Within the grounds, there is also a useful outbuilding, currently in a state of disrepair, which presents an excellent opportunity for renovation or re purposing (subject to the necessary consents).

N.B The sale is subject to a £12,000 overage agreement, Retail Prices Index Linked, for each additional dwelling built in the event of planning permission being gained, and houses built, in the future on the garden land. Please also be advised due to the condition of the property and outside areas suitable footwear and clothing will be required when viewing.
