Property description

A rare opportunity to purchase this period house in an absolutely stunning setting being in an elevated position in this favoured New Forest village. The house offers unrivalled views across the Avon Valley, and is set in grounds of 3.44 acres.

The house is believed to date from the 1920's with later additions over the intervening years, and offers flexible and versatile accommodation over three floors. The current owners run a very successful bed and breakfast business utilising rooms in the main house as well as a detached B & B annexe and a detached self catering annexe within the grounds.

The new owner could either continue this business or utilise the residential space for family members or use as part of a redevelopment or remodelling plan subject to the usual consents.

Situation
The cottage is situated on the edge of the village of Woodgreen in the New Forest National Park, famed for its wonderful walking and riding country. Within the village there is a village store and pub. Nearby is Fordingbridge, a small market town, which has a post office, a number of banks and a variety of other shops. Shopping centres and a wider range of amenities are available a short drive away in the cathedral city of Salisbury to the north and Bournemouth to the south. As well as the leisure opportunities in the New Forest, the property benefits from easy access to Poole, Christchurch and the Solent ports for sailing and water sports. There are numerous good schools nearby including the prep school Forres Sandle Manor and Moyles Court and many primary schools (all rated Good by Ofsted). An excellent range of schools in both the public and private sector are located nearby in Salisbury. Woodgreen is also very well placed for commuting to the business centres in Salisbury, Southampton and Bournemouth, all with good train services to London Waterloo (Soton Parkway 68 minutes).

Outside
The gardens and grounds of the house extend to 3.44 acres and incorporate both formal and informal areas on different levels with absolutely breathtaking views over the Avon Valley. To the front a gated cattle grid entrance gives access to the garage along with a tarmacadam parking and turning area. To both sides of the property are areas of lawn which provide areas of privacy. To the rear is a terrace from which the views can be appreciated, steps then lead through paths which meander through established trees and shrubs and there is a magnificent naturally fed pond at the lower level providing a haven for wildlife. This then leads to acres of wildlife gardens.
