Description

This three-bedroom foresters cottage, nestled in the tranquil New Forest, presents a rare opportunity for those looking to embark on a significant renovation project. Once notable for its history during WW1, when a biplane famously landed on its roof, this property is now primed for complete modernisation. Ideal for visionary buyers, it offers the potential to either refurbish or redevelop entirely, with possibilities for expansion subject to obtaining the necessary permissions. Situated in a peaceful cul-de-sac directly across from the expansive New Forest, residents can easily enjoy picturesque walks and cycling through natural surroundings. The market town of Lymington is only four miles away, providing convenient amenities, while the well-regarded pub in East Boldre is just a short stroll. Nearby marinas and sailing clubs cater to boating enthusiasts, and Brockenhurst station offers direct rail connections to London Waterloo within approximately two hours. Given its current condition marked by significant disrepair, prospective buyers should be prepared for extensive work to bring this cottage back to life. With mature gardens surrounding the home and ample space available, it stands as an excellent investment opportunity for those with renovation expertise.
