A delightful and characterful grade II listed 17th Century cottage in generous garden grounds adjoining Breamore Marsh.
Location:
The cottage enjoys an enviable & sought after position on the edge of Breamore Marsh which forms part of the historic Breamore Estate, the main house completed in 1583.
The village of Breamore has a well-supported village pub, village hall, tea room and church with an excellent community run post office/general stores in nearby Woodgreen. Easy access to thousands of acres of the heath and woodlands of the New Forest and downland countryside to the west of Breamore, ideal for the outdoor enthusiast.
Nearby Fordingbridge offers further facilities with a range of independent shops and eateries, a building society, public library, medical centre and churches of various denominations. There is a primary school in the village which falls within the catchment area for the Burgate Secondary School & Sixth Form in Fordingbridge. The area is convenient for access to a number of important centres with Salisbury some 9 miles to the north (where there is a mainline rail station to London Waterloo), Bournemouth approximately 20 miles to the south and the port of Southampton 18 miles distant. Jct 1 of the M27 can be reached at Cadnam, about 10 miles via the B3080.

The cottage which has been updated and well maintained by the current owner, is grade ll listed and dates from, we believe, 1636 and exhibits a wealth of period features with exposed beams and in particular an impressive inglenook fireplace in the well proportioned sitting room.
