A truly delightful four bedroom detached cottage set in grounds of approximately one third of an acre, in the New Forest National Park.
The Situation
The property is located in the sought-after village of Cadnam on the fringes of the New Forest, which offers numerous recreational facilities, ideal for nature lovers and those who enjoy walking, horse riding and cycling. The village itself provides day to day amenities including a village store, pharmacy, Post Office/store and public houses. Ideally located for the commuter with easy access to the M27, M3 and mainline railway station at nearby Ashurst and Southampton Parkway, next to Southampton Airport.
The Property
A beautiful, double fronted New Forest cottage, offering approximately 2,000 square feet of versatile accommodation arranged over two floors, with a particularly appealing layout for both family living and entertaining.
The ground floor opens into a welcoming entrance hall, with a generous, double aspect sitting room featuring a fireplace with wood-burning stove. An archway leads through to the dining room, which in turn opens into a recently created fully glazed garden room that overlooks the garden.
The heart of the house is the impressive kitchen/breakfast room, arranged as a spacious and sociable open-plan area with a comprehensive range of fitted units and integrated appliances, a four oven/double hob electric Aga cooker and a water softener. Beyond this is a charming, multi-purpose music room, enjoying a dual aspect and providing a versatile additional reception space. A boot room, utility room and cloakroom add considerable practicality, while the separate study offers an ideal space for working from home or quiet retreat.
On the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom with dressing area, en-suite bathroom and access to the adjoining fourth bedroom, providing useful flexibility as a nursery if required. The second bedroom also benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room, while the third and fourth bedrooms are served by a further family bathroom.
In all, the property offers a beautifully balanced combination of generous living space, excellent bedroom accommodation and versatile reception rooms, making it an ideal family home with a wonderful sense of flow and flexibility. Further benefits include five CCTV cameras, which can be accessed remotely via an app, together with an alarm system.
Grounds & Gardens
The grounds are a particularly attractive feature of the property, extending to approximately 0.3 acres and enjoying a peaceful position backing onto the Cadnam River. A gravelled driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to the detached double garage, which benefits from power, lighting and an up-and-over door.
The gardens extend around all sides of the house, providing a good degree of privacy and a variety of spaces for entertaining and relaxing. Further highlights include a detached home office with shower facilities, together with additional useful outbuildings.
The grounds are enclosed by a combination of post-and-rail and timber fencing, with double gates providing vehicular access and a separate pedestrian gate to the front. The combination of generous grounds, excellent parking and versatile ancillary accommodation makes the outside space particularly well suited to modern family life.
