3 bedroom detached house

A stunning cottage, with an award winning extension, in the New Forest National Park.

Description

Dating from the early 18th Century, this delightful unlisted cottage has undergone an extensive, and high quality, ground-up renovation and benefits from the addition of a design-award-winning double-height extension to one side, creating a strikingly light and airy living space. The cottage faces south and, therefore, sees the sun from sunrise to sunset.

Deep oak floorboards have been laid through the majority of the property, along with underfloor heating both upstairs and downstairs, operated on separate thermostats.

Entered via a timber-framed porch, the entrance hall provides access to two downstairs bedrooms. One double, dual-aspect with a built-in wardrobe and one single, with a built-in heated linen cupboard. They share a shower room.

The main living accommodation is accessed via a glass link, where there is also a door to a boot room, with quarry-tiled floor and a stable door to the rear of the property.

A particular feature of this home is the award-winning and stylish contemporary extension. This striking double-height space has vaulted ceilings and oak floorboards. A kitchen to one end, with quarry-tiled floor, has integrated Miele and Neff appliances and a range of high quality bespoke units, with corian work surfaces. The majority of the open-plan space is dedicated to a large sitting and dining area, with a woodburning stove. Light is maximized via two sets of French doors and a single glazed door onto the garden, along with floor-to-ceiling windows and remotely operated Velux skylights with rain sensors.

Up a bespoke oak staircase is the dual-aspect principal bedroom, opening through to a dual-aspect en suite shower room with a quarry-tiled floor.

Outside
The cottage nestles in private and quiet woodland gardens with rhododendrons and numerous fruit and nut trees, under-planted with spring bulbs. This delightful garden is dissected by a small stream/culvert. A large terrace to the south west and a terrace to the south benefit from the dappled shade of pergolas, planted with fragrant David Austin roses and scented climbers, such as wisteria. At the top of the garden, with pretty views across the orchard, sits a double-lined shed/store room, with an overhanging roof line providing additional shelter for storing logs or sitting and enjoying the view down across the garden.

A timber-framed double car port, with waney-edge cladding and a slate roof, sits alongside the gravel driveway, which has parking for several cars.
