Energy Performance rating - E
The property has a wonderful forest location in the pretty village of East Boldre with a thriving pub, village hall, post office, village store and garage all within easy walking distance. There is also a popular marina at nearby Bucklers Hard and the Beaulieu River Sailing Club offers opportunities for sailing enthusiasts.
The attractive town of Lymington has a number of supermarkets and independent shops including some designer boutiques and restaurants and is surrounded by the New Forest National Park.
Brockenhurst Railway Station (approximately 5.5 miles) provides a half hourly service to London Waterloo with a journey time of approximately 90 minutes, and the motorway networks surrounding Southampton are also within direct travelling distance. There are many well regarded private and state schools in the surrounding area, with South Baddesley (Primary) providing a mini bus service.
The property is a three bedroom cottage built around the beginning of the 19th Century. The original cottage consisted of a one up, one down home constructed of cob. Later in the twentieth century the property was extended to both sides and to the rear. The existing double garage, once on a separate Title, started as a separate cottage but in the 1960's was converted to its current usage. Honey cottage is now a beautiful character cottage with breath taking views across the open paddock land of the Beaulieu estate. In addition we understand that the cottage still has its full 30% available to extend. Entering the front door you arrive in the newest part of the home with high vaulted ceilings with velux windows and extensive light. The original lounge is a step down from the hall with beamed ceilings, fireplace with log burner and views to the front. The dining room is at the rear of the house with twin aspect views to the private gardens and adjacent paddocks. The kitchen is an extension from the 60's with a range of fitted cupboard units and work surfaces, plumbing for washing machine, space for fridge freezer and ample storage as well as access to the garden. The master bedroom is on the right of the house with an inner hallway to the bathroom and separate cloak room and views to the rear garden. On the opposite side of the property is the second bedroom with more views and its own ensuite shower room. Raising the stairs from the hall leads to the largest of the bedrooms which could potentially be improved to add a further ensuite.
A five bar gate opens in to an extensive parking area with a double garage with power and heating and twin electric doors, twin storage rooms behind and an open plan first floor. The rear garden is divided in two by a small bank of bushes with each section being a large area mainly laid to lawn surrounded to the East by the paddocks of the Beaulieu Estate and high plantings to the West giving complete privacy and seclusion. Overall the land and cottage offer idyllic country living in a beautiful part of the forest being no more than a 15 minute drive to Lymington and its facilities.
