Presenting an exceptional opportunity to acquire a historically significant Grade II listed gatehouse, originally part of the prestigious Highcliffe Castle estate, this property dates back to the 1770s and embodies magnificent Georgian architecture. East Lodge features a distinguished pillared portico and an inviting façade that exudes charm and character. Offering immense potential for renovation, the interior awaits transformation to reflect modern living standards while retaining its historic essence. Current accommodation includes a portico entrance, sitting room, inner lobby, staircase to the first floor, and a kitchen that requires completion. The upstairs layout provides possibilities for two bedrooms along with a recently installed new bathroom. Outside, enjoy the benefits of a private gated entrance alongside allocated off-road parking and garden spaces defined by mature boundaries.
Nestled in the culturally rich locale of Highcliffe, this lodge is conveniently near local shops, cafés, and restaurants. A short walk leads to Highcliffe beach and breathtaking cliff-top views. Easy access to outdoor activities in New Forest National Park is an added benefit. Transport links are robust with nearby railway stations providing direct routes to London and the South Coast—an appealing factor for families drawn to reputable schools in the area.
This property not only represents a unique residence but also serves as an ideal investment opportunity for holiday rentals or AirBnB ventures due to its historical significance and location. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the renovation possibilities and intrinsic charm it offers.
