A beautifully refurbished and extended 2-bedroom period cottage set at the far end of a quiet lane in this sought-after Downland village.
Believed to originally have been owned by the neighbouring Manor House, Broad Lane Cottage is a charming, detached period cottage of attractive brick and flint elevations with a more recent timber clad extension that is home to a superb kitchen/breakfast room. The cottage has been carefully and sympathetically refurbished by the current owners, who have sought to preserve as much of the heritage of the cottage as possible, thereby creating a welcoming country home imbued with charm and character. As well as the lovely kitchen/breakfast room, there is a snug sitting room, a separate study/dining room, two double bedrooms on the first floor and a tastefully fitted bathroom. Externally, the cottage garden has been landscaped with a series of raised beds and there is an excellent 2-bay car port with adjoining workshop and an attached single garage on the sitting room side of the cottage that, subject to securing relevant planning permission, may offer scope for conversion to additional accommodation. Viewing highly recommended.
The picturesque village of Martin nestles within the rolling countryside of the Cranborne Chase, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (aonb) and International Dark Skies Reserve, where a network of country paths and bridle ways access lovely walking and riding countryside across Martin Down. An active and welcoming community, Martin is well supported by a village hall, from which a community shop is run, and a church, and the neighbouring village of Damerham (approx 3 miles) has a reputable primary school, garage and popular public house.
The Avonside town of Fordingbridge (approx. 7 miles) has a range of health, educational, shopping and recreational services sufficient to cater for most day to day needs and the Cathedral City of Salisbury, which offers a broader range of facilities including reputable state and private schooling, is almost equidistant via the A354. Beyond Fordingbridge the A338 and B3078 provide ready access to Bournemouth and Southampton respectively with the latter linking with Junction 1 of the M27. The New Forest National Park is approximately 8 miles to the east, sailing opportunities abound on the South Coast and there is a good choice of local golf clubs including Salisbury and Tollard Royal.
To one side of the cottage is an off road parking area leading to the attached single garage and pedestrian access to the front porch. To the far side of the cottage a 5 bar wooden gate opens to gravelled driveway and parking area with access to the 2-bay car port and adjoining
workshop with fitted work benches and shelving. Power and light connected.
The garden is located to the easterly, rear elevation and predominantly laid to lawn with six raised beds to the far end and a row of recently planted silver birch saplings providing an informal screen between the garden and parking area.
New Forest District Council. Tax Band D.
Mains water and electricity connected. Electric radiator heating. Private drainage system.
Agent’s note
We understand the private drainage system serving the cottage is located a short distance into the neighbour’s adjoining land to the north.
Leave Fordingbridge and proceed to the village of Damerham. Upon entering the village pass The Compasses public house and cross the small bridge, turning immediately right into the High Street (sign posted Martin). Continue out of Damerham for approximately 3 miles and enter Martin. Follow the road into the village passing Sillens Lane. Turn right into the small lane immediately after Reads Farmhouse and the cottage will be located at the far end.
