Plum Tree Cottage presents a unique opportunity for those seeking to invest in a period property with significant potential for both renovation and extension, subject to planning permission. Nestled on the outskirts of a vibrant village and set within approximately 4.75 acres of mature grounds, this thatched cottage is characterized by its charming whitewashed façade and flexible living spaces. Originally extended in the mid-20th century, this home allows for reconfiguration to suit modern lifestyles, offering well-proportioned living areas alongside five bedrooms that can be accessed via two distinct staircases. The extensive grounds feature beautiful gardens, woodland, and paddock space, providing ample scope for outdoor development or agricultural use.
The local community benefits from various amenities including schools, shops, and recreational facilities. Nearby Fordingbridge offers a broader range of services just 1.5 miles away. Additionally, with a garage that includes stabling options and proximity to major transport links serving Salisbury, Bournemouth, and Southampton, Plum Tree Cottage combines rural charm with convenience.
Although some modernization is required throughout the property—such as kitchen updates and bathroom renovations—the opportunity to create a distinctive family home or an income-generating venture through holiday rentals or equestrian use is apparent. Furthermore, it is worth noting that there is an ongoing treatment plan for Japanese Knotweed in the woodland area which will need attention during the refurbishment process.
