4 bedroom detached house

A picture postcard cottage in need of updating located in a desirable village location.

The Cottage in Plaitford Green has all the character and charm you would expect from a Victorian Cottage. To call it pretty, simply does not do it justice. Although now requiring modernisation and a slight re-think to the layout, the opportunity on offer is something very special. This is the first time the cottage has come to the market since it was built in 1868, it was further extended in 1991, both these timings are verified by the date marked brick work, a distinctive calling card of the builders of the time. Although the layout at present is a little unconventional there is plenty of space on offer and still further potential to extend if required (subject to the necessary consents).

On the ground floor there are two principal reception rooms, one to the front and another to the rear with direct access onto the garden. There is in addition to this, a kitchen and a utility room. Also on the ground floor is a shower room. There are two staircases to the first floor that provide access to the four bedrooms on offer and a bathroom.

Outside the gardens extend to approximately a third of an acre and surround the cottage. To the side is a garage and workshop with driveway to the front. The garden has a variety of shrubs and fruit trees but offers a blank canvass to create something very special.

Plaitford is found just on the periphery of the New Forest and is located about 6 miles from the centre of Romsey which provides an extremely
good range of amenities including leisure facilities, an excellent range of schooling for all ages, both state and private, theatre and a range of shops for every day needs to include two supermarkets. The larger centres of Southampton and Salisbury are accessed via the A36 and the
M27 and the cathedral city of Winchester is also within easy driving distance.
