This expansive detached 4-bedroom family home, set on approximately 1.40 acres of land, presents a significant modernisation project with promising investment potential. Located on the outskirts of the serene hamlet of Hattingley, the property offers sweeping rural views and ample space for creative reconfiguration.
Plum Cottage boasts a well-thought-out layout featuring an entrance hall with parque flooring leading to a spacious kitchen and breakfast area, which connects to a conservatory. This area has considerable potential to be transformed into an inviting kitchen-dining-living space that seamlessly integrates with the outdoor garden. The ground floor also includes a cosy sitting room with a wood-burning stove, a study, and an additional reception room that opens to the garden; this versatility makes it ideal for modern country living after refurbishment.
Upstairs, four bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, including a main suite that benefits from built-in storage and an en suite bathroom with picturesque views. Bedrooms 2 through 4 also enjoy appealing aspects of the surrounding countryside. A recently updated family bath and shower room adds to the home's appeal.
The property’s outdoor environment features a private garden primarily laid to lawn alongside extensive fields, a double garage, and workshop facilities.
Additionally, adjacent to Plum Cottage is The Lodge - currently used as ancillary accommodation but could enhance its value through incorporation into the holiday let business (subject to necessary permissions). This mobile home with wooden cladding offers charm with two double bedrooms and an open-plan living space.
This unique property also houses 'Little Place in the Country', an established holiday lodge business consisting of two lodges set within picturesque grounds surrounded by woodland - an attractive opportunity for anyone looking to live in conjunction with their business. Both lodges are strategically designed around central garden spaces providing private retreats. With regular bookings throughout the year, this aspect of the property promises steady income potential.
Located conveniently near thriving villages and beautiful walking trails in proximity to New Forest National Park, this property not only offers residential comfort but also commercial viability in holiday lettings.
