Description

Presenting a unique investment opportunity in the charming village of Rockbourne, this pair of semi-detached cottages, 1 and 2 Yonge Cottages, embodies significant renovation potential. Each cottage features traditional red brick elevations and is set within generous garden plots—approximately 0.36 acres for No. 1 and around 0.23 acres for No. 2—providing ample outdoor space to enhance or develop further, subject to planning permissions. 1 Yonge Cottage displays a well-maintained structure, benefiting from recent essential upgrades such as underpinning and the installation of a firewall. While it currently has slightly dated interiors, it offers an attractive rental income through its protected tenancy established in 1974. Conversely, 2 Yonge Cottage stands out with its good decorative condition and valid planning permission for a two-storey rear extension (Application No. 23/11240), making it especially appealing for investors looking to expand living space or increase value. The potential exists to convert existing outbuildings into functional spaces like home offices or additional storage, pending necessary approvals. Located in the scenic South West region surrounded by conservation areas and rich countryside, residents will enjoy community amenities including a primary school and local shops just a short journey away in Fordingbridge. Excellent transport links to Salisbury, Bournemouth, and Southampton further enhance its appeal for those seeking both tranquility and accessibility. This property presents a rare chance to own two cottages with distinct characteristics—ideal for renovation enthusiasts or investors aiming to apply their vision in a picturesque setting.
