Peony Cottage, 11, Pemberton Road, Hampshire, SO43 7AN

Full of character and individuality, Peony Cottage offers far more than first impressions might suggest.

Behind its quintessential cottage exterior lies a wonderfully light and airy home, where high ceilings, traditional features and a quirky layout sit comfortably alongside contemporary touches and flexible living spaces.

Arranged over three floors, the accommodation includes two bedrooms and a spacious converted loft room, providing excellent flexibility for modern living.

Its position in Lyndhurst is equally appealing, combining easy access to the village with the open New Forest approximately two minutes’ walk from the doorstep.

The cottage is entered through a hallway leading into the welcoming living room, where a feature brick fireplace provides an attractive focal point and enhances the cosy cottage feel.

To the rear, the house opens into a sociable kitchen and dining space, creating a natural heart to the home.

The kitchen comprises a range of wall and base units, integrated appliances and a traditional ceramic Belfast sink, while French doors from the dining area open directly onto the garden, bringing in plenty of natural light and connecting the house with the outside space.

Beyond the kitchen is a useful separate utility/boot room, with a uPVC stable-style door opening directly onto the garden.

On the first floor is a generously proportioned principal bedroom and a versatile second bedroom, currently accommodating a small double bed alongside substantial wardrobe storage.

Also on this floor is a generous four-piece family bathroom comprising a separate shower, bath, wash basin and WC. A further staircase leads to the spacious converted loft room.

This quirky and versatile additional space, with Velux window, offers excellent flexibility for use as a home office, hobby room or additional living space.

Outside, Peony Cottage benefits from a secluded and established rear garden, providing an attractive and relatively easy-to-maintain outdoor space for relaxing and entertaining.

The garden also benefits from convenient gated side access.

Combining cottage character, flexible accommodation and an enviable village location, Peony Cottage offers an appealing opportunity to enjoy Lyndhurst life with the open forest and village amenities both close at hand.
