A delightful Grade II listed two-bedroom, two-bathroom detached period thatched cottage in the highly regarded Village of Rockbourne. Viewing is highly recommended.

Trentham Cottage is a most attractive Grade II listed period cottage, beautifully presented, with very comfortable stylish rooms and a delightful cottage garden which adjoins a stream. The cottage is set in the heart of the village, within a short walk of the popular Rose & Thistle pub, the village hall, sports field, school and church. Also close by are the rolling chalk downs with many footpaths and bridleways as well as some spectacular views.

AGENTS NOTE:
We understand from the owner that some minor flooding to the ground floor of the house took place in 2023 and have been advised the ingress came from surface water in the road. Remedial works have been carried out to raise the ground level to the front of the house and a gully has been put in place to divert any further water away from the house. We also understand the same issue happened in 2001 and 2014 when the house was in the previous owners occupation.

The sought after Downland village of Rockbourne sits amidst lovely rolling countryside, much of which is a designated Conservation Area. Rockbourne is home to a thriving community that benefits from a reputable primary school - which is within close walking distance - a village hall, a church and popular public house. The Avonside town of Fordingbridge (4 miles) provides a comprehensive range of day to day services, including schooling, a medical/health centre, a good range of local shops, a building society and a library. The excellent communications network allows ready access to the regional centres of Salisbury, Bournemouth and Southampton; all have mainline rail links to London Waterloo and there are airports at the latter two. A myriad of footpaths and bridleways exist in the surrounding area and there is magnificent outriding to be had on Whitsbury Downs; the contrasting moor, heath and woodland of the New Forest is approximately four miles to the East.

The property is approached through an opening to a gravelled parking area, enclosed by brick walling and mature shrubbery. A further gate leads to the gardens and onto the front door.

The cottage gardens to the rear of the property provide a tranquil setting, private and mature with lawn, flower beds and borders with railway sleepers raising and supporting the beds. A stream runs along the rear boundary which is a pleasant additional feature.
