A delightful, extended, 3-bedroom semi-detached period cottage quietly located on the southerly outskirts of this sought-after Downland village. NO ONWARD CHAIN.


A charming, extended period semi-detached cottage occupying a peaceful position on the southerly fringes of the village, offering some outstanding rural views. The cottage was sizeably extended under a planning permission granted in 2006 and consequently offers spacious ground floor living accommodation with an abundance of character including a choice of two reception rooms and a lovely farmhouse-style kitchen/breakfast room featuring a vaulted ceiling and with an outlook over the rear garden. The first floor has three bedrooms, two of which have a lovely outlook over farmland to the front. There is a generous family bathroom, which is complemented by a ground floor shower room. The cottage sits in an established, mature garden plot that extends to approximately 0.17 acre.

South End Cottage is located on the rural southerly fringes of the picturesque Downland village of Damerham in countryside designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village provides a reputable Primary School (Western Downland) within walking distance, a Village Hall, Church and popular Public House. The near-by Avonside town of Fordingbridge (about 4 miles) caters for most everyday needs, including a range of shops, well respected Primary and Secondary schooling and sporting facilities.

Communications in the area are good, with the regional centres of Salisbury, Bournemouth, Poole and Southampton all within convenient driving distance. All can provide mainline rail links to London Waterloo and there are international airports at Bournemouth and Southampton.

The village is well placed for those wishing to enjoy the area on foot, wheel or in the saddle; a number of bridle ways and footpaths exist in and around Damerham itself, whilst the New Forest National Park, with its thousands of acres of walking and riding countryside, lies about 7 miles to the East.

To the side of the cottage is a tarmac driveway that supplies parking for 2-3 vehicles, with access to the front porch and a gate opening into the rear garden. The driveway leads to a detached SINGLE GARAGE 4.83m (15ft 10in) x 3.05m (10ft 0in).

The principal garden is located to the rear of the cottage where there is an adjoining patio that can be accessed from both the sitting room and kitchen/breakfast room. Beyond, the garden is laid to lawn interspersed with shrubs and fruit trees and adjoins neighbouring farmland. The plot as a whole extends to approximately 0.17 acre.
