" RURAL VIEWS A traditional cottage style residence originally built in 1984 Dove Cottage provides welcoming and comfortable accommodation, which takes full advantage of its private yet glorious forest position. The principal rooms, together with two of the three bedrooms, are orientated to the south and west and ensure good views over neighbouring paddock and forest land, with the generous conservatory - erected by the current owner in 2002 - continuing this trend. Dove Cottage is offered with no onward chain.

SITUATION
Dove Cottage occupies a glorious position nestled away amongst the greenery at Chilly Hill, an excellent vantage point which enjoys direct forest access through a gate positioned at the far end of the approach track. Chilly Hill is close to the forest hamlets of Frogham and Hyde, which between them have a primary school, garden centre with adjoining tea rooms/shop, village hall and popular Public House. The Avonside town of Fordingbridge (approx. 2 miles) has a range of educational, recreational and health facilities sufficient to cater for most everyday needs, with more comprehensive amenities provided by Ringwood and the Cathedral City of Salisbury. The well connected communications network also provides access to the regional employment centres of Bournemouth, Poole and Southampton via the A338 and B3078 to Junction 1 of the M27 respectively. The close proximity of the open forest makes it an ideal setting for those with a passion for outdoor pursuits such as walking, riding and cycling.
