Nestled in the tranquility of Harbridge, this historic 18th-century detached cottage presents a significant opportunity for renovation and investment. The property boasts original period features and flexible living spaces that could be reimagined to suit modern lifestyles. With two staircases and multiple reception rooms, there is ample scope for creative configuration or extension (subject to planning permission).
The welcoming oak framed porch leads into a well-proportioned hallway that connects to spacious dining and sitting areas adorned with exposed beams and a charming brick fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove. The garden room at the rear benefits from stunning views over paddocks, with potential to enhance this space further by incorporating an open plan layout or expanding onto the private patio area.
The kitchen breakfast room, while functional, offers opportunities for modernization to appeal to contemporary tastes. A study off the kitchen provides a quiet workspace but could also serve other useful roles within the home.
Upstairs, the layout is divided into two wings, each accessible via their own staircase, creating privacy between bedrooms. This distinct configuration opens possibilities for altering interior layouts or upgrading bathrooms to add value.
The outdoor space includes well-maintained gardens and grounds totaling approximately 0.38 acres along with an additional grazing area of about 2.69 acres—perfect for equestrian enthusiasts or those seeking expansive views. Enhancing the landscaping or adding features such as patios or outdoor entertaining areas could significantly improve both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
This property offers not just a home but an investment opportunity in an idyllic rural location with easy access to nearby towns and nature attractions such as the New Forest National Park.
