This unique offering presents a pair of three-bedroom semi-detached cottages nestled in the charming village of Rockbourne. Each cottage is set on a generous plot, providing ample outdoor space and potential for enhancement. Dating back to the late Victorian era, these properties showcase traditional red brick facades and are approached via a shared access driveway, ensuring a degree of privacy from the village road.
1 Yonge Cottages features an established garden spanning approximately 0.36 acres, complete with a detached brick outhouse currently shared with its counterpart. While this cottage is in generally good condition with oil-fired central heating and modern double-glazed windows, it retains some dated interior finishes that present opportunities for cosmetic upgrades. The property is currently let under protected tenancy terms dating back to 1974, allowing for a steady income stream while further renovations can be considered as it does not encompass the full garden area.
In contrast, 2 Yonge Cottages has undergone various improvements leading to its very good decorative state. This property also benefits from oil-fired central heating and replacement double-glazed windows. It boasts planning permission for a two-storey rear extension (App. No. 23/11240), which opens up considerable possibilities for expansion and increased rental or resale value. The potential for adding a home office or repurposing the existing outbuildings into usable space adds further allure for investors looking to maximize space.
Rockbourne itself is located within picturesque countryside and has access to essential amenities such as reputable schooling, local shops, and excellent transport links to larger towns including Salisbury and Fordingbridge. With its community-centric atmosphere and proximity to outdoor recreation areas like the New Forest, these cottages represent not only a home but also an investment opportunity ripe for renovation.
