3 bedroom cottage

An extraordinary opportunity to acquire a recently renovated and beautifully presented contemporary 3 bedroom rural hideaway well off the beaten track with a nearby beach and within the wide open spaces of The New Forest National Park. This charming timber bungalow offers a superb retreat that is only 3 miles from Beaulieu and 6 miles from Lymington. Energy Performance Rating: D

The property sits on a generous plot in one of the area's most sought after addresses where spacious waterside homes are spread along the shoreline. The setting is particularly unspoilt and peaceful as the access road attracts very little traffic while the open spaces of The Forest, as well as a beach and paddle board launching point are also nearby. All manner of outdoor activities are close at hand with walking, riding and cycling across miles of unspoilt tracks in the Forest or sailing at either Lymington or Bucklers Hard. There is a popular local pub at East End and direct rail services to London Waterloo depart regularly from Brockenhurst and take approximately 2 hours.

This charming timber framed bungalow is the ideal holiday retreat or rental investment. The property has been extended to its full potential and offers contemporary, spacious accommodation set within a quarter acre of national park. The property is accessed through a five bar gate leading to a gravel drive which leads to a turning and parking area adjacent to the house. The home is currently a successful holiday let and is spectacularly well presented with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, an open fireplace and full length windows. An oak porch opens on to the formal lounge with open fireplace, wood panelled walls and a rear aspect window. Double sliding doors open in to the main kitchen/family room with wonderful floor to ceiling windows and bi-fold doors over looking the landscaped gardens. The high end kitchen is the heart of the house with a range of fitted cupboards and work surfaces, breakfast bar and integrated white goods. There are three bedrooms, all interior designed, a family bathroom with butler sink, bath and shower and an en suite bathroom.

The bungalow overlooks its gardens which extend to approximately a quarter of an acre and contain areas of level lawn and some mature trees along with hedges at the boundary. There is an outside bath with hot and cold taps and a superb covered garden kitchen ideal for outdoor entertaining complete with barbecue. There is ample parking for several cars adjacent to the house and the gardens have a southerly aspect as well as a peaceful atmosphere well suited to this charming location.

Turn right at the mini roundabout and proceed over the level crossing and after crossing the river turn right at the bend into Undershore Road. Continue along, passing Elmers Court hotel across the cattle grid and take the first right, following the road round to Sowley Pond. After approximately a quarter of a mile, Thorns Farm will be seen on the right hand side. Proceed through the farm buildings for around a mile down the gravel track, bear left at the end and continue for a further quarter of a mile where the property will be seen on the left hand side.
