4 Bed Detached House For Sale

A fabulous, mature and established rear garden (with grounds totalling 0.33 acres), plenty of parking and a garage block/workshop complex, are just a few features of this beautifully presented, stylish and elegant cottage, which has been extensively and sympathetically improved by the current owners over the last 30 years. 

Located within the New Forest National Park, this original cob cottage dates back to around 1840 and was cleverly extended in the 1980’s, creating what we see today, minus the incredible, bespoke solid mahogany conservatory, which was later added by the current owners. This simply stunning, flexible and sociable space has a French style gas stove (not connected), central heating and ornate, individually laid, mosaic tiled floor.

The ground floor accommodation briefly comprises a wonderful, bespoke hand-painted oak kitchen/dining room that is partly open plan to the sitting room, a study/bedroom 5, a useful utility room and a separate boot room/cloakroom.

The kitchen/dining room has been carefully designed to make the very best use of the space on offer, with a range of hand-built, solid oak units with contrasting granite worktops, natural slate flooring and tiled splash backs. Appliances include a traditional oven in addition to a gas powered, twin plate AGA.

The living space enjoys a dual aspect, with views to both the front and rear, with natural oak flooring that continues into the study/bed 5. It also benefits from a log burner. From here casement doors open into the conservatory.

The study/bed 5 enjoys a dual-aspect and fireplace with gas effect log burner (not currently connected).

The first floor lies host to four well-proportioned double bedrooms, all benefitting from built-in storage and serviced by a crisp white four-piece family bathroom.

This stunning home further benefits from gas central heating, double glazing, period fireplaces and latch style doors. 

The rear garden can be accessed by a stable style door from the utility room and casement doors from the conservatory. It has been designed with outdoor entertaining in mind with a paved terrace and steps leading up to a well-tended lawn. A further seating area overlooks an ornamental pond and houses a timber summer house and has views back towards the house. The garden further comprises numerous timber outbuilding, another summer house/garden lodge and the garage complex. This complex has solar panels (with feed in tariff) and consists of a large workshop which was formerly a stable, the garage with up and over door as well as a contemporary style shower room/WC, which could (with the relevant consent) be used as ancillary accommodation. A further area of natural garden can be found at the end of the garden. 

To the front is a 5-bar gate that leads to a long gravelled drive that provides plenty of parking. This in turn leads to the garage complex which can be found toward the end of the garden.
