Adding further versatility to the ground floor is an additional reception room which could equally serve as a snug, playroom, home office or ground-floor bedroom, making the property adaptable to a variety of lifestyles and family needs.

A convenient downstairs WC completes the ground floor accommodation. Under The Eaves Ascending upstairs, the character of the cottage continues throughout the bedroom accommodation.

The principal bedroom provides a peaceful retreat beneath the roofline, where dormer features and angled ceilings create a charming and cosy atmosphere.

The remaining bedrooms offer flexible accommodation for growing families, guests or those seeking dedicated work-from-home space.

In particular, the characterful bedroom spaces tucked beneath the eaves create wonderful rooms full of personality and charm, making this a home that feels truly unique.

Two bathrooms serve the accommodation, helping to ensure practicality for busy households. Nature On Your Doorstep Stepping outside, the sense of space continues.

The gardens wrap around the property, creating a wonderful balance between family living, entertaining and opportunities for keen gardeners to truly make the space their own.

Immediately beyond the house, a decked terrace offers the perfect spot for taking in the peaceful surroundings.

Beyond, the garden unfolds into a variety of distinct spaces, allowing every member of the family to find their own favourite corner.

Adding to the charm of the grounds is a delightful pond, attracting wildlife and creating a tranquil focal point within the garden.

Nestled amongst the grounds is also an original well, a rare and fascinating feature which serves as a wonderful reminder of the property's rich history and cottage heritage.

Whether you're hosting friends on a summer's evening, tending to the garden, growing your own produce or simply enjoying the peace and privacy of the New Forest surroundings, this outdoor space offers a lifestyle that is becoming increasingly hard to find.

Honouring Its Heritage The current owners have lovingly cared for and improved the property during their ownership, carrying out a range of works including the replacement of the upstairs radiators, a new dormer roof, replacement gutters and fascias, a new water tank in the loft, and damp-proofing works, including the installation of a damp-proof membrane and injection treatment.

These improvements help preserve the character of this historic home while providing added peace of mind for future owners.

Combining period charm, flexible accommodation, beautiful gardens and a sought-after New Forest location, this is far more than simply a house. It is a home with a story, ready for its next chapter.
