Presenting a unique investment opportunity in the picturesque village of Burley, this property encompasses a charming 17th-century thatched cottage alongside former commercial premises including a detached fire station. The cottage, recognized for its quintessential charm and recent minor refurbishments, features a cozy sitting room with an impressive Inglenook fireplace, a quaint dining area, and a rear galley kitchen that opens onto the garden. The upper floor hosts two generous bedrooms and a smaller third room, ideal for conversion into functional storage or an office space.
The adjoining commercial buildings present significant renovation potential. A glass-fronted showroom previously used as a car display and gift shop requires substantial upgrades but offers a variety of uses pending appropriate planning permissions. Additionally, the former fire station, constructed from robust timber outbuildings, could be converted into valuable retail units or serve as storage for vehicles or boats.
With the right vision and investment, this property has the potential to generate diverse income streams through holiday rentals or commercial ventures in one of The New Forest's most sought-after areas. Access to local amenities and national parks enhances its appeal as both residence and investment.
