OUTSIDE 

The property is approached via a gravel driveway providing ample off-road parking and access to the detached garage. Established hedging and shaped shrubs frame the frontage, lending a high degree of privacy and an immediate sense of charm. A stone path leads you to the front door with a further side gate taking you to the rear. The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn and enjoys a good degree of privacy, enclosed by fencing and mature boundaries. A paved terrace adjoins the house, providing an ideal spot for outdoor dining and summer entertaining that is accessed from the kitchen.

The detached garage further enhances the practicality of the home, whether for parking, storage or potential workshop use.

THE SITUATION 

The cottage is situated in Sway, a designated area of special character within the New Forest national park. The property itself is close to the forest, which provides fantastically varied walking and riding. Sway has local amenities including primary school, local shop, pubs, restaurants and mainline railway station (Waterloo in 2 hours) and is perfectly positioned for shopping at the market town of Lymington (5 miles), Brockenhurst (3 miles) and it is equidistant between Southampton and Bournemouth, both of which have international airports.

THE PROPERTY

Internally, the ground floor offers a well-balanced layout ideal for modern family living. The welcoming entrance hall leads through to a generous sitting room positioned to the front of the house and centred around a lovely feature fireplace, complete with a bay window that draws in natural light. To the rear, a further sitting room/dining room provides excellent further living space equally centred around a open fire, enjoying views across the garden.

The double aspect kitchen/breakfast room is a particular highlight, fitted with a comprehensive range of both base and eye level units providing generous storage, ample work surfaces, integrated appliances and space for a large American style fridge/freezer all sat on complimentary tiled flooring throughout. There is plenty of room for everyday dining, making it a true heart-of-the-home space with double doors leading to the terrace. A separate utility room provides additional storage and laundry facilities and also offers convenient access to the rear garden. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a W/C set off the enterance hallway.

Stairs from the hall lead up to the first floor which offers three generously proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is especially spacious and has the added benefit of a modern ensuite shower room. Bedroom two sits to the front of the property and also has the benefit of an ensuite shower room. Bedroom three sits to the rear of the property with views over the garden and is serviced by a family bathroom that is accessed from the landing.
