SITUATION

Bramshaw, one of the most attractive New Forest villages, provides an excellent range of facilities to include village hall, church, two well renowned golf courses, two country public houses, hotels, restaurants and garage. The New Forest offers thousands of acres of unspoilt moors, heath and woodland for those with walking and equestrian pursuits. Bramshaw is also well placed for access to local towns and cities including Romsey (7 miles), Salisbury (13 miles), Southampton (15 miles), and Winchester (18 miles). Southampton International Airport (13 miles) offers excellent links to Continental Europe with the adjoining Parkway Rail Station connecting to London Waterloo in a little over an hour.

THE PROPERTY

This charming period cottage offers an attractive red brick façade with casement window set symmetrically around a pretty entrance porch.

The ground floor accommodation comprises an entrance hall linking to a double aspect sitting room to one side and a separate dining room with feature woodburning stove to the other. Both of these rooms benefit from pleasant views across the grounds to the front of the cottage. The kitchen is set to the rear of the property, with delightful southern views across the grounds. Further rooms to this level include a shower room and a cloakroom. There is also an additional cloakroom and storage area, which can be accessed externally.

To the first floor, a landing area provides access to three bedrooms, all of which enjoy stunning, elevated views across the gardens and grounds.

NB. The property is in need of considerable modernisation and offers significant potential for enlargement (subject to the necessary planning consents being granted).

OUTSIDE

The gardens and grounds are a significant feature of this property, extending in total to approximately 5 acres in total and benefiting from a delightful southerly aspect.

Set within the grounds behind the property is a substantial outbuilding and small haybarn, which again offer potential for other uses, subject to planning consents.

Living in Bramshaw

This is surely New Forest life at its most accessible. Turn off the M27 at junction one and you are immediately plunged into the quiet backwaters of the Forest, gently weaving past donkeys and ponies grazing in front of Hanzel and Gretel-style woodland cottages. This is Bramshaw, an attractive and peaceful parish that encompasses the hamlets of Brook and Fritham. Bramshaw is strung out. Its handful of amenities include Bramshaw Golf Club (with two courses, including Hampshire’s oldest course), village hall, rustic garage and Bentley showroom. There’s also a selection of good inns including The Bell Inn and Green Dragon at Brook and the Royal Oak at Fritham (a Forest institution and part of a working farm). Local groups range from Bramshaw Bunnies for pre-school toddlers to the local cricket club. Back roads through the Forest lead to Romsey, a thriving market town with numerous facilities (including Waitrose). Property comprises big, individual houses, farms and small-holdings, and cottages tucked down country lanes, scattered around glades and greens. The National Trust owns tracts of land here including Bramshaw Commons, thousands of acres of some of the best surviving examples of lowland heath in Europe.
