A characterful three bedroom detached former Victorian school
house with a large and mature private garden, conservatory,
detached garage and outbuildings offering excellent potential to
refurbish and extend, if required. (STPP)
Within easy reach of the open forest and situated in the forest
hamlet of Tiptoe.
Tiptoe is a small forest village with two churches, a school, an
associated pre-school and a pub. The forest is easily accessible
and brings you onto Boundway, one of the most attractive areas of
the forest with far reaching views and stunning walks.
Some two miles west is the village of Sway offering railway
links to London and the south coast, in addition to a variety of
local amenities. The market town of Lymington, famous for its
internationally renowned sailing facilities and marinas along with
its Saturday market, is approximately 5 miles south west of
Wootton.
The property is conveniently situated within a short drive of
the A35 and is within easy reach of motorways and rail links
together with both Bournemouth and Southampton International
Airports, this making it an ideal location for those with a
requirement to commute.
A central front door leads to the hallway and a door leads to
the dining area open to the sitting room with a log burning stove
and french doors to the delightful garden.
The hall leads into the generous farmhouse style kitchen with
Aga range cooker and a selection of freestanding and fitted
storage. A single door leads into the hardwood conservatory which
incorporates a utility room.
From the conservatory a door leads into the large ground floor
bathroom with shower cubicle and WC. From the kitchen a further
door leads into the studyfamily room. An inner lobby has the
staircase to the first floor accommodation.
There are three double bedrooms and the bedroom to the front of
the house has far reaching views across the adjacent farmland. The
large family bathroom serves all bedrooms and has a bath, shower,
WC and ornate original hand basin.
The approach is via a wooden five bar gate to a gravel front
driveway. There is a mature hedge to the front boundary providing a
high degree of privacy to the cottage.
A feature of note is the mature west facing rear garden. There
is a wide variety of fruit trees and an avenue of pleached apples
trees, a small wildlife pond and some specimen shrubs. A lawn
pathway meanders throughout the garden. To one side of the cottage
is a detached garage with electric door. A set of double gates
between the garage and house lead to the rear garden. There is also
a large timber workshop positioned behind the garage.
