Clover Cottage is an elegant period property fronting onto and enjoying outstanding views across Canada Common, which forms part of the New Forest National Park.

The cottage dates back in part to circa 1900 and features a more recent extension that blends seamlessly with the original to form a wonderful family home offering an ideal balance of living and bedroom accommodation.

The ground floor features well appointed living spaces comprising a double aspect living room with wood burning stove and an impressive, open plan sitting area/dining room with full width bi-folding doors opening onto the rear terrace and garden. From here, there is access to the double aspect kitchen/breakfast room and an adjoining utility room with cloakroom. Both the kitchen/breakfast room and utility benefit from side access.

On the first floor, a landing area links to the principal, double aspect bedroom with en-suite shower room, three additional bedrooms and a modern, family bathroom. The three main double bedrooms also benefit from built-in wardrobe storage and far-reaching elevated views across the open forest.

A pleasant breakfast balcony set off the landing area completes the first floor layout.

The house is accessed via electric gates opening onto a driveway providing off road parking for multiple vehicles and access to the garaging to the rear.

The front garden is laid to level lawn and flanked by established hedgerow borders offering both privacy and seclusion. A paved terrace extends down the side of the house and across the rear providing an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining.

The terrace links to the main area of rear garden, which is laid to level lawn with a delightful feature pergola and additional seating area. Set alongside the garden area are three stables and a car barn/garage with a hydraulic lift, ideal for a classic car enthusiast. Adjoining the car barn is a large, timber storage shed for garden machinery.

The remainder of the grounds are made up of two large, adjoining paddocks, split by an area of hardstanding flanked by established hedgerow borders, which would make an ideal kitchen garden area. At the far end of both paddocks is a vehicular access onto the lane.

In total, the gardens and grounds attributed to the property extend to approximately 1.65 acres.

The location of Clover Cottage is truly outstanding and is in turn what makes this wonderful home such a unique proposition, with its direct outlook onto the open forest.

The property is situated in a delightful position on the fringes of the New Forest National Park, directly fronting onto Canada Common with excellent opportunities for recreational walking and riding. Local facilities include the renowned Rockingham Arms public house and the village of Wellow, which offers a range of amenities, including a post office, convenience store, butchers, grocers, bakery, hardware shop, pharmacy, hairdressers, primary school, church, garage and three golf courses, all of which are within a short distance.

A more comprehensive range of amenities and facilities can be found in the quintessential market town of Romsey, as well as the cities of Southampton, Salisbury and Winchester. Despite being in such a charming, tucked away position, the property benefits from superb communication links with the national road network being accessed via the M27. There are also mainline rail links into London Waterloo (approximately 1 hour).

There are also many accessible schools in the area including Wellow Primary, Hampshire Collegiate, Embley, South Wilts Grammar and Bishops Wordsworth.

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.
