A delightful farmhouse style three bedroom detached cottage nestled amongst farmland on a South & West facing plot with a double garage, boasting uninterrupted views across pasture land and the rolling country side moments away from Milford on Sea cliff top. Built in 2010 the cottage is both modern but with a characterful feel. Ideal as a second home, holiday let or picturesque primary residence. Energy Performance Rating: C

Downton is a delightful hamlet with a lovely local pub, the Royal Oak and is only a short distance from the cliff top walks leading to Milford on Sea, considered one of the area’s prime hot spots. This popular coastal village is centred around a delightful green, offers a selection of highly regarded bistros and restaurants, and an ‘outstanding’ primary school. There is easy access to the town of New Milton, the New Forest with extensive walks and riding opportunities and Lymington, a vibrant Georgian market town with train service to Brockenhurst mainline station, nearby Keyhaven has a yacht and dinghy sailing club and there are local beaches for bathing and water sports.

The pretty cottage is approached through a wooden gate and pathway leading to an open porch. The front door opens into a spacious hallway with doors to all main rooms as well as a useful under stairs storage cupboard. The study is a good size with views to the front garden. The main living room has a warm and welcoming feeling with an attractive wood burning stove as the feature of the room, doors out to the sunny patio as well as commanding views over the rear garden and adjacent farmland. 

The country style kitchen is the main hub of the house with its Aga, central island, dining area, doors to the garden and the wonderful views across the countryside. There is a door through to the spacious utilityboot room housing the boiler, space and plumbing for a washing machine and with a stable door to the side of the property. An ideal area for soggy dogs or people after a day on the beach or walks in the country. The ground floor cloakroom and shower room completes the ground floor accommodation.

Stairs leading from the hallway give way to a useful landing area with a window with stunning views over the rear garden and land.  The main bedroom has a dual aspect and a couple of fitted wardrobes, bedroom two is again a double with views to the rear and the final bedroom is a spacious single. All three bedrooms are serviced by the modern white family bathroom suite. 

A five bar gate opens in to the large gravelled parking area with an oak framed garage and carport. The garden wraps around the house with lovely lawns, mature planting, vegetable patch, flowers, shrubs and bushes. There is a Grade II listed ‘bothy‘ which is an attractive brick built building currently used as storage for bikes and gardening equipment with both power and light.  The gardens are a haven for wildlife and the patio area at the rear of the property is the ideal place to watch the westerly sun sink over the fields.
