DESCRIPTION & CONSTRUCTION A stunning detached three bedroom cottage and adjoining one bedroom annexe have been beautifully designed and built to reflect the original charm and character of a period cottage and barn. The owner has paid particular attention to retaining much of the vernacular appearance of the cottage and barn to blend seamlessly into the rural environs of the New Forest National Park.

The cottage and gardens provide a perfect balance and require viewing to fully appreciate the style and presentation of this bespoke style and setting.

SITUATION Ford Cottage and the adjoining Brookside Barn are set within this unique rural location enjoying the benefit of gardens totalling 0.4 of an acre. The landscaping has been cleverly planned to emphasis the cottage and barn within this rural location enjoying open views across adjoining paddocks. The gardens incorporate an orchard and some natural hedgerow borders. The unique setting ensures a balance of rural life, yet within half a mile there are local schools, doctors surgery, chemist, post office and general store. The property is within the boundaries of the New Forest National Park.
