Features and description
- Freehold
Nestled in the charming New Forest village of Rockbourne, Fordingbridge, this delightful Grade II listed thatched cottage known as 'Trentham' is a true gem. Boasting a quintessential "chocolate box cottage", this detached home is brimming with exposed beams and characterful features that exude charm.
Upon arrival, you are greeted by a gravel off-road parking area with ample space for multiple vehicles. A charming wrought iron gate leads to the cottage garden and the front door.
Stepping inside, the entrance hall doubles as a study area, leading seamlessly into the cosy living space. Here, an attractive inglenook fireplace creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for snug evenings in. The spacious kitchen/breakfast room is a focal point of the home, offering plenty of worktop and cupboard space, with an Aga adding a touch of traditional elegance. Throughout the property, exposed beams serve as a reminder of its rich history.
The generously sized sitting room is beautifully presented and features a recently built open fireplace, providing both style and comfort. This room also offers direct access to the garden, perfect for enjoying sunny days outdoors.
Upstairs, you'll find two double bedrooms. The main bedroom benefits from an ensuite bathroom with a WC and sink, while the second bedroom boasts built-in wardrobes. Both rooms offer excellent head height, enhancing the feeling of space and comfort.
Located in the heart of Rockbourne village, 'Trentham' is just a short stroll from local amenities including the renowned pub 'The Rose & Thistle', the village hall, sports field, school, and church. Nature lovers and dog walkers will appreciate the proximity to rolling chalk downs with numerous footpaths and bridleways, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.
Rockbourne itself is a picturesque Downland village surrounded by designated Conservation Areas, fostering a vibrant community. Nearby Fordingbridge (4 miles) provides a range of services such as schooling, healthcare, local shops, banks, and a library. Excellent transport links make regional centres like Salisbury (approx. 10 miles), Bournemouth (approx. 20 miles), and Southampton (approx. 27 miles) easily accessible, all with mainline rail links to London Waterloo.
For outdoor enthusiasts, the area offers a myriad of footpaths and bridleways, including the stunning Whitsbury Downs. Just four miles to the east lies the diverse landscape of the New Forest, with its moors, heaths, and woodlands waiting to be explored.
From Fordingbridge, head up the High Street and continue straight, leaving the town. As you enter Sandleheath, turn right at the crossroads towards Rockbourne. Follow the road into the village, and 'Trentham Cottage' will be on your right, just before 'The Rose and Thistle' pub on the left.<br /><br />
