Mulberry Cottage is a wonderful example of a traditional New Forest property. Built over 400 years ago the house combines character and original features with spacious rooms and surprisingly high ceilings.

Restored and renovated by the current owners this wonderful home offers the best of both worlds with a ‘chocolate box’ cottage charm, sensitively updated to cater for a comfortable modern lifestyle.

Located in the sought after village of Woodgreen and rarely on the market, this home is at the heart of a vibrant local community with a village green hosting cricket and local events, a local shop and well-regarded pub.

The forest is quite literally on your doorstep with the property backing onto Woodgreen Common where you’ll see plenty of wildlife including the famous New Forest ponies.

The cottage is approached by a gated driveway offering parking for several cars. There is a large detached double garage as well as two other outbuildings ideal for use as a store, shed or workshop.

The house itself consists of over 2,000 sq ft of accommodation spread over three floors. There is an entrance to the front of the property which leads into a hallway. To the left is a single storey extension with skylights bringingin plenty of natural light that provides flexible space for an office/ground floor bedroom, and to the right, a spacious utility room and cloakroom.

On the opposite side of the cottage, on the south side, the main stable door entrance leads to the dining room/kitchen, with lovely family space and double aspect windows. The fully fitted kitchen with its branded integrated appliances, traditional Heritage stove and adjoining pantry, is open plan yet set apart from the dining area by a feature central fireplace. The sizeable lounge with its original beams, include an attractive feature inglenook fireplace and French doors with direct access to the garden. Beyond the lounge, a snug/reception room opens to stairs leading to the first floor and an alternative porched entrance.

On the first floor there are two double sized bedrooms with views over the garden and countryside beyond. The family bathroom is modern and beautifully presented. The principal bedroom suite is on the second floor and is a charming place to relax and unwind. Spacious and benefiting from gorgeous views over the surrounding countryside, this character room includes a generous ensuite shower room, wardrobe storage and dressing area, a small wood burner and enough room for additional seating as well as bedroom furniture.

Throughout the property every effort has been made to showcase the beautiful heritage of this property with exposed beams and brickwork and beautiful original fireplaces featuring throughout.

The garden is private, south facing and includes patio and lawn areas and mature trees and shrubs. A real asset for any owner, it’s perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining, ideal for children to play in, and a lovely space for peaceful relaxation listening to birdsong and the sounds of the forest.

Mulberry Cottage represents a wonderful lifestyle opportunity; whether you are looking for a stylish, comfortable downsize, a relocation to this idyllic forest location, or perhaps a bolthole for family holidays in the countryside, it really is your ideal home!
