Owners Comments
I have owned ‘Wigley View’ since 2006 and following a very thorough renovation, it has been transformed into a lovely spacious and bright family home that I now enjoy with my young family. We are within walking distance of a lovely pub and a shop and yet have a wonderful outlook. Deer frequently visit the garden, this morning joined by a cock pheasant, whilst buzzards often sit atop the fence posts in the meadow we overlook. I am sure that whoever buys our home will also be very happy here.”

“Wigley is a secluded hamlet, unknown even to many locals. Consisting of just eleven attractive properties, located off a private track, we are within the New Forest National Park but minutes away from an easy commute to Southampton, Salisbury, Bournemouth and even London.”

Introduction
Having been the subject of a comprehensive extension and refurbishment programme this substantial cottage offers stunning views to every aspect and is situated in the tranquil hamlet of Wigley benefitting from both privacy and excellent commuter access. Wigley is a rural hamlet of just 11 attractive homes on the fringes of the National Park and within walking distance of a choice of excellent pubs and shop. Such is its privacy that even locals are unaware of it. Wigley View offers well sized and beautifully presented accommodation completed to a particularly high standard to include luxurious bathroom suites, a stunning kitchen breakfast room and spacious sitting room centred upon an impressive open fire.

The views across the meadows are exquisite and the cottage also features a beautiful south facing garden, ample parking and a large detached garage. Constructed in 1930, the cottage has been delightfully upgraded with the comforts of modern living yet still retains much of its intrinsic charm including high ceilings and an open fire. 

Description
A hardwood door opens to the entrance porch which serves as a useful boot room/cloaks cupboard and provides access to the downstairs cloakroom. The kitchen breakfast room is beautifully presented with travertine tiled flooring through the open plan styling which enjoys French doors overlooking the rear garden to open meadows and beyond. The kitchen area is delightful, equipped with a bespoke range of cream cottage style eye and base level units with granite worktops and upstands designed by Harwoods of Winterbourne. A feature central island provides additional workspace with inset sink, integrated Smeg dishwasher and retractable power sockets and also hosts further storage cupboards, drawers and an inset dishwasher. The breakfast area accommodates a substantial dining table and chairs, or a lounge suite if preferred. A utility room supplements the kitchen and supplies plumbing and space for appliances with further storage and a sink. The sitting room is a delight, of good proportions with a dual aspect and doors to the sundeck but still retains a cosy period charm with stripped wood floorboards and an impressive fireplace with open fire and traditional skirting boards. The front door opens into the entrance hall with original tiled flooring, a wide staircase to the first floor and access to the remaining spacious reception room which could easily be utilised as a dining room, snug or large study.

The landing is light and bright enjoying views to the countryside and provides access to the loft space. The master bedroom is exceptional in size and aspect with views over paddock land, a host of fitted wardrobe space and a door to the cleverly designed ensuite shower room which is fully fitted with travertine tiles, a bowl sink, low level WC and separate shower cubicle. There are three further well proportioned bedrooms enjoying much natural light and are served by the well fitted contemporary family bathroom hosting a P shaped bath with shower over and touch light mirror above the pedestal wash hand basin.

Outside
The property is approached via a country lane and a large gravelled area with parking for several cars fronting the detached garage which is equipped with a roller shutter doors, power and lighting. A gate leads to the delightful secluded rear garden boasting wonderful views over the paddocks to countryside. Predominantly lawned and studded with trees and shrubs the gardens are south facing enjoying an idyllic private setting. A large decked terrace adjacent to the house offers an excellent entertainment and relaxation venue. There is also a large timber store for garden machinery.
