Description

Presenting a unique investment opportunity, this pair of semi-detached cottages, each featuring three bedrooms, is situated in the picturesque village of Rockbourne. These late Victorian homes, constructed from classic red brick, are set back from the main thoroughfare, ensuring a tranquil atmosphere while still being part of a vibrant community. Both cottages boast generous garden plots—approximately 0.36 acres for one and 0.23 acres for the other—offering potential for further landscaping or outdoor projects. 1 Yonge Cottages features an established garden that slopes gently towards the road and includes shared storage space in a detached brick outhouse. This property has been well-maintained with recent updates such as double-glazed windows and oil-fired central heating, although its interior could benefit from modernization to truly maximize its potential. 2 Yonge Cottages is accessed via a shared driveway leading to a designated parking area. It has undergone several improvements and is presented in very good decorative condition, making it suitable for either immediate occupancy or rental. Currently let under an Assured Shorthold Tenancy with an existing planning consent for a two-storey rear extension (App. No. 23/11240), this cottage presents excellent avenues for further development or expansion. The local area of Rockbourne is known for its charming landscape and strong community spirit, featuring amenities like a reputable primary school just a short walk away, a village hall, and local pub. For more extensive needs, Fordingbridge—only four miles away—offers essential services including shops, health centers, and schooling options. Additionally, the property benefits from excellent transport links to larger regional centers such as Salisbury, Bournemouth, and Southampton—all equipped with rail connections to London Waterloo. The surrounding countryside provides various recreational opportunities with numerous walking trails and bridleways nearby. Both cottages are connected to mains water and electricity with private drainage systems in place while recent upgrades to loft insulation add to the overall efficiency of these properties. This combination of location, renovation possibility, and community attributes makes these cottages not only charming residential options but also sound investments for future growth.
