Description

This is a unique chance to acquire a characterful renovation project situated on approximately 0.59 acres within the picturesque New Forest National Park. Evelyn Cottage, dating back to the late 1880s, presents itself to the market for the first time, offering substantial potential for restoration and modernisation. The property has retained much of its original charm but has not been updated in many years, necessitating a significant renovation effort that could include extension possibilities, subject to planning permissions. The two-storey layout currently comprises three bedrooms, three reception rooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom, all of which are ripe for reconfiguration and contemporary updates. The expansive grounds provide ample opportunity for landscaping and creating inviting gardens or enhancing parking facilities with two dropped kerb access points. Additionally, there’s an outbuilding on-site that is in disrepair and could serve as a valuable asset after renovation or repurposing. Evelyn Cottage is located in Plaitford, a quaint village nestled between Southampton and Salisbury, providing easy access to local amenities and the vast expanses of the New Forest for outdoor enthusiasts. This property offers immense investment potential for those looking to craft a unique home that seamlessly blends historic appeal with modern living.
