5 bedroom house

Dell Farm is a well-appointed grade II listed detached cottage believed to have been built in the early 17th century. The property has been in the same family for almost 60 years and still retains many of its original features. It is being offered for sale by Informal Tender and the closing date is 9th August, 2021.

Copythorne is a very popular New Forest village with many local events, activities and clubs. Whilst within the National Park boundaries it still allows easy access for commuter links to London or the South Coast. A wide range of amenities are close at hand including a first school, village hall, shop, hairdressers and local pubs. A large superstore is located within three miles with nearby Lyndhurst, Totton and Ashurst providing further amenities. The M27 is less than 3 miles away and mainline rail links can be found at either Totton or Ashurst with direct services to London Waterloo.

Internally, the cottage offers approximately 2289 square feet of accommodation, set across two floors.

A covered entrance porch opens into the entrance hall, from where doors lead off to a double aspect study with exposed beams and an open fireplace to one side and a dining hall with an open fireplace fitted with a wood burning stove to the other.

From the dining hall, a stairwell ascends to the first floor landing and an inner hallway links to a single bedroom (bedroom five), a small utility area, a cloakroom and a bathroom with bath, wash basin and WC. The kitchen can also be accessed from the inner hall and is fitted with a range of pine units with built-in oven and hob.

Opposite the kitchen is the utility room with space and plumbing for appliances and a door providing access to the garden.  Also set off the dining hall is a lobby area, with a door opening onto the grounds and steps leading up to the main sitting room.

The sitting room is fitted with an Adam style fireplace and a Jetmaster fire and further benefits from two sets of sliding doors providing access to the gardenand grounds. Accessed from the sitting room is the ground floor, double aspect, principal bedroom with walk-in dressing area and en suite bathroom comprising a bath, wash basin and WC. This bedroom enjoys lovely views across the paddock and garden.

From bedroom three, a low door provides access to bedroom four/dressing room.

NB. We believe from the owners that Dell Farm still benefits from permitted development rights.

The property is accessed down a private drive which leads to a parking area with turning space, offering parking for multiple vehicles and providing access to a double car port.

Set in front and to the side of the main house is a substantial outbuilding (former milking parlour) and attached brick built garage accessed from the gravel driveway.

This superb space amounts to almost 1000 square feet and offers options for a number of potential uses (subject to the necessary planning consents being granted).

The house is set in mature, formal gardens enjoying a delightful, southerly aspect, with mature woodland to the north and paddocks to the south and west. There is a lovely south facing lawn and a small terrace leading off from the sitting room.

The garden and grounds that surround the property amount to approximately nine acres and enjoy a high degree of privacy, with a backdrop of woodland in a peaceful location.
