Owners Comments
\"The Cottage offers a most wonderful setting that has never stopped being the source of so much enjoyment with spectacular views and a variety of active wildlife.\"
\"Although surrounded by open countryside, the accessibility of The Cottage is ideal, within walking distance of many village amenities, the New Forest countryside and still convenient to Salisbury, Winchester and Southampton.\"
Introduction
Believed to have origins dating back to 1850 and retaining much of its period charm, the cottage benefits from versatile and well proportioned accommodation centred around an super extended and well presented kitchen breakfast room with three additional reception rooms.
'The Cottage' is beautifully positioned to take advantage of the attractive surroundings with wonderful views from every aspect, beyond its well maintained grounds to open farmland and the New Forest beyond. With a triple stable block, four enclosed paddocks and excellent immediate riding towards the open New Forest there is much opportunity for the equestrian enthusiast as well as a traditional family home.
Although enjoying a delightful rural setting, the property is ideally positioned on the fringes of the popular villages of Landford and Hamptworth within the National Park which both provide a range of attractive amenities within easy walking distance including the revered Cuckoo Inn, The Hamptworth Golf and Country Club, the excellent New Forest school, village hall and comprehensive local shop with Post Office.
