Nestled in the desirable village of Plaitford, near Romsey, The Milestone is a truly unique detached cottage dating back to the 17th century. This unlisted property, steeped in history and full of period charm, is now offered to the market for the first time in over 50 years.
Set within approximately half an acre of level, picturesque grounds and enjoying direct access to the New Forest, this unique cottage is a rare opportunity for buyers with imagination and vision. Whether you're looking to create a characterful country home or explore the potential for development (subject to planning permission), this enchanting cottage offers endless scope.
Once part of the Earl of Ilchester’s estate, the property is rich in historical character, showcasing classic period features such as exposed beams, Inglenook fireplaces, and a traditional cottage layout. While it now requires comprehensive renovation, its unspoiled nature makes it the perfect canvas for restoration and transformation.
Accommodation includes:
Two principal reception rooms, both full of charm
A generously sized kitchen/breakfast room
Utility room and ground floor bathroom
Three/four bedrooms on the first floor, with scope to reconfigure or extend (STP)
The grounds are a particular highlight—laid mainly to lawn and dotted with mature flower beds, shrubs, and fruit trees. There are far-reaching countryside views to the rear, enhancing the tranquil setting. A substantial detached garage also sits within the plot and may offer further development possibilities (subject to planning).
This quintessential English cottage is a rare find—a property that combines period charm, a superb location, and exceptional potential.
