Located in the sought-after village of Plaitford, Romsey, The Milestone is a unique detached cottage dating back to the c.17th century. It is set amidst picturesque grounds spanning half an acre, with direct access to the New Forest opposite. This charming cottage boasts a plethora of character features, including exposed beamed ceilings and Inglenook fireplaces, characteristic of its age. Once owned by the Earl of Ilchester, the historic significance adds to its wonderful charm.
The Milestone offers an excellent opportunity for renovation, requiring extensive upgrading throughout. Additionally, within the grounds stands a larger-than-usual garage, potentially suitable for development, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions. This lovely old cottage presents endless possibilities for the next owner to restore its charm and character . It is currently not listed.
