House For Sale £1,300,000
Thought to have dated back to the late 1600’s is this truly magnificent and unlisted thatched residence, situated in a complete private and tranquil one acre plot. Originally formed as two workers cottages as part of the Breamore Estate, the larger of the two being host to the gamekeeper in the 20th century. Now converted into one dwelling; the property is finished with unrivalled joinery and craftsmanship throughout and benefits from superb ceiling heights to both floors.
The property is conveniently located in the idyllic rural village of Breamore, which has its own popular local pub, and delightful primary school, with the secondary school nearby at Burgate. The nearby village of Woodgreen (approximately 1 mile away) features an award winning community shop and a well-regarded local pub. Fordingbridge town centre is approximately 2 miles away, providing numerous shops and amenities. Other highly regarded schools within the locality include; Trafalgar School, Hampshire Collegiate School, Chafyn Grove, Salisbury Cathedral School, South Wilts Grammar School for Girls, Godolphin and Bishop Wordsworths. The historic city of Salisbury is approximately 8 miles north via the easily accessible A338, offering a wonderful array of high street and independent shops, cafes and restaurants, and the charming market town of Ringwood is just 8 miles south. The surrounding New Forest is a beautiful, renowned National Park consisting of approximately 140,000 aces of natural Heath and woodland ideal for walking, cycling and particularly riding for the equestrian enthusiast.
More recently, the triple garage has been converted into a superb studio that has further potential to create an annexe or home office setup. This really is a true gem in one of the area’s most desirable villages.
