A charming character five bedroom cottage in a tucked away location with direct forest access just a short walk away. No forward chain.
Standing in pleasant grounds of just under 0.2 acres, in an idyllic 'off the beaten track' location is this charming five bedroom character, former Foresters cottage that has been extended over the years to provide extremely versatile accommodation. Approaching the house from the driveway the front door opens to the lobby. To the right a doorway opens to the kitchen which has an original fireplace (not working) and a window that faces to the front. Continuing on a door opens to the living/dining room. The living area has a beamed ceiling with a full height brick fireplace with open grate. From here the living room continues and incorporates the dining room across the back of the house, offering two sets of sliding doors that take in the view and open onto the rear garden. Also on the ground floor are two bedrooms, both overlooking the garden, an en-suite cloakroom and a wet room. The first floor accommodation can be accessed via two separate staircases and comprises three bedrooms of which one is a single, with the other two being doubles, one having a balcony. All bedrooms have views over the adjoining paddocks and further views of the open Forest. Complementing the first floor is a bathroom. Outside there is a parking area to the front for several cars and double gates lead to the substantial garage. The rear garden is laid as lawn that gently slopes away from the house. Within approximately 50 yards of the house are various pathways that lead onto the Forest that provide beautiful walks.
Newgrounds is a part of Godshill situated on the Western boundary of the New Forest National Park and provides excellent access to the open heathland stretching up to Hampton Ridge, where there can be found glorious walking, riding and cycling countryside. Godshill has a number of amenities supported by its close links to Sandy Balls Holiday Centre, where there is a leisure complex, restaurant and shop, and a village hall and public house. The Avonside town of Fordingbridge (approximately 1.5 miles) provides the surrounding communities with a range of health, recreational and educational facilities, whilst there is an excellent local road network ensuring convenient access to Bournemouth, Southampton and the Cathedral City of Salisbury. The surrounding forest provides the walking, riding and cycling enthusiast with thousands of glorious acres in which to indulge, whilst there are a number of good local golf clubs and fishing in the Avon Valley.
