Welcome to September Cottage! Curb appeal, a 1.3 acre plot with a paddock and versatile living accommodation. This stunning home really does have all the bases covered for a buyer that is looking for a family home with the addition of a small- holding. The current owners have sympathetically restored this traditional New Forest cottage, which is now arguably one of the best homes on the market in the SO40 post code. 

Located within the New Forest National Park, which offers unlimited recreational and riding facilities, with renowned sailing facilities within easy reach along the coast. Set on a no-through road, which has quick and easy access to the M27, (just 5 mins from junction 2) and a short journey into the city of Southampton. Morrisons supermarket with a petrol station is also a short drive away. 
Heading down Ringwood Road will lead you to a number of local pubs and eateries, as well as Dobbies Garden Centre. Goodies Fish & Chip shop is a short walk away and Totton and Eling tennis Centre is also close by, where Christine and Richard offer some of the best Junior development in the county. 

Turning in off Ringwood Road before the roundabout, you enter a no through road, opening up to a number of attractive detached homes. A block paved driveway and a pedestrian path provide welcoming views of this stunning home that any potential buyer would be proud to own. The garden to the front is laid to lawn and provides a country feel setting, wrought iron gating leads to the rear garden and the various outbuildings. There is ample off-road parking to the front for a number of vehicles and there is also an electric vehicle charge point. A storm porch leads to the front door. 

The entrance hall provides access to all key rooms and to the left hand side of the front door is the fourth bedroom. This is well- positioned, next door to the downstairs shower room and is far enough away from the main living accommodation to be an ideal teenagers bedroom. Currently this room is set up as a second home office and offers two built in desks. There is a feature bay window to the front which has views over the front. This makes a fantastic home office if the fourth bedroom is not needed.
The downstairs entrance hall stretches round to the left, offering an area for coats and shoes and there is access to the downstairs shower room. This has been refitted to a high standard and offers a vanity unit with wash basin, shower unit and low level W/C. 

The majority of the living space is rightfully located to the rear of the property to make the most of the exceptional views. The lounge is a most inviting room, ideal for Winter evenings with a tall gas flame fire in a marble surround creating a focal point to the room. Bi-fold doors lead onto the garden. This is a bright and airy room due to the window to the side & the space is exceptional. To maximise the views and create a family space for sociable living, the owners have created a beautifully designed, open plan kitchen, living and dining area. The living area has the benefit of a glazed roof lantern with coloured lighting which enhances the room during dark evenings, a  wood burner and bi- fold doors which open onto the outside decking. The dining area has views of the garden with more bi-fold doors, a vaulted ceiling and Velux windows to bring in additional light. The space is divided by a breakfast bar which has room for dining and has a beautiful light fitting, creating a good room break. The kitchen is set with black granite worktops with light grey units, creating a fresh and clean look. There is a built in utilities cupboard which has space and plumbing for a washing machine, and conceals the boiler. Other benefits include a useful island for kitchen prep and storage, space for a Range style cooker with extractor, space for an American style fridge freezer, dishwasher and Butler style double sink. There are also spotlights, feature pendant lights and two double glazed sash windows to the front. To the right is a secondary entrance porch with a door to the driveway. This has been set up as an additional utilities area with space for a tumble dryer and a sink, and makes a great additional storage area. In the middle of the house, between the kitchen and the entrance hall is an additional reception room with a bay window to the front, and double doors which lead through to the open plan living area. This space is currently set up as the second home office, but this could easily be a stand-alone dining room, or a family playroom. It is certainly versatile accommodation none- the- less. 

Upstairs the property has been designed to work for the current owners, and again this could be changed around if needed to accommodate the desires of the new custodians. The master suite is set to the rear and has dual aspect windows to the side and rear, with unspoiled views over the garden and paddock. A well- proportioned room which has the benefit of a walk-in wardrobe, additional double wardrobe and en- suite shower room. Bedroom’s two and three are set to the front of the property. Bedroom two is a generous double room and has a built-in sink and wardrobe, bedroom three is a fair single with space for a bed and bedroom furniture. Both of these rooms are serviced by a refitted four piece bathroom.

Externally from the rear of the living space is a partially covered area of decking, with a seating area for dining and entertaining. The garden is south facing and predominantly laid to lawn with a feature pergola to the centre of the lawn. Other benefits include two garden sheds and a greenhouse, tucked out the way, to the side of the house. To the rear corner is a garden room, of wooden construction, with an area of decking. This is an ideal games room or home office with mains electric connected. 

Stretching down the Right-hand side of the plot is a driveway, this leads to an oversized shelter which creates a dry storage area for vehicles, trailers or horse boxes. This is the first of many outbuildings to this side of the plot. Next we have a 25ft workshop, this has power and lighting, there is also a modern CCTV system for security. This is currently used by the owners as a dry storage room, which has a pitched, metal, insulated roof. There are also two additional rooms off this building, which if redesigned, could be ideal animal shelters. 

Next along is a storage container which will remain on site, this is ideal for garden tools and general storage. Fencing and  five- bar gate lead to the paddock area. This currently sits at approximately a third of an acre and has been recently adjusted to offer more garden for the existing owners. With the plot totaling just under 1.3 acres, this fence line could be adjusted to suit the needs of potential suitors. Incorporated in the paddock is a small yard area, this has a concrete base and there is a water feed to the paddock, making it a useable space for livestock, coupled with two small additional buildings of wooden construction, which could be considered stables for goats or smaller family ponies. The paddock itself is enclosed by rail fencing and tree lines, constructed on clay, with good winter drainage.
