Description

This distinctive two-bedroom detached cottage presents a unique opportunity for renovation enthusiasts or investors looking to create a personalized retreat. Nestled in a serene semi-rural lane, the property benefits from its prime location midway between Lymington and New Milton, making it an ideal base for those who appreciate both countryside charm and proximity to local amenities and the beautiful New Forest. The cottage features original character elements such as exposed beams and panelled walls, offering a glimpse of its historical charm. The main entrance leads into a welcoming dining room that includes a brick fireplace (currently not connected), setting the stage for potential updates that could transform this space into a cozy focal point. Adjacent to the dining area, there is also a versatile study, perfect for remote work or quiet reading. The kitchen, though functional with built-in storage and essential appliances, offers further scope for modern enhancements that could maximize both usability and aesthetic appeal. The adjoining dining room provides direct access to the garden through double doors, promoting seamless indoor-outdoor living. Upstairs, the main bedroom and second bedroom offer ample space along with built-in storage solutions. A cloakroom completes the first floor layout, while the bathroom on the ground level includes basic amenities but is ripe for updating to meet contemporary standards. Outside, the property stands on an attractive lot featuring well-established gardens and two sizable summer houses. While these outbuildings add potential for additional leisure or workspace options, one may require structural refurbishment to fully realize their utility. The garden itself is framed by mature trees providing privacy while hosting areas of lawn and paved paths—ideal for outdoor gatherings or peaceful afternoons. This property offers significant investment potential; with thoughtful renovations and modernization efforts, it could be transformed into a stunning residence that retains its charming character while meeting today's lifestyle needs. With its advantageous location in close proximity to natural landscapes and local towns, this cottage represents an exciting project for discerning buyers ready to unlock its full potential.
