A most attractive, beautifully presented detached period house thought to date from the mid-1800s situated in a peaceful position outside the Downland village of Whitsbury in gardens of approximately 0.6 acre.
Blackmoor Cottage is an attractive period house of red brick elevation under a slate tiled roof standing in beautiful gardens of approximately 0.6 acre and located in a wonderfully peaceful position on the outskirts of the much sought after village of Whitsbury. Believed in part to originally date from the mid-Nineteenth Century, the house was extended in the 1980s and again approximately twenty years ago with the addition of the conservatory. In more recent years the house has benefitted from a new roof lining, a replacement boiler, a replacement kitchen and a tasteful programme of redecoration that included new carpets in the dining and sitting rooms, study, stairs and landing and a re-fitted bathroom and cloakroom. The accommodation is versatile and there is opportunity for home office space utilising either the current study or the cellar rooms.
Blackmoor Cottage is located a short distance above the picturesque village of Whitsbury, one of a cluster of pretty villages set amidst the rolling countryside of the Hampshire/Dorset border. The village is steeped in the heritage and success of the local racehorse stables and stud and the community is served by a Public House and Church, whilst the neighbouring Avonside town of Fordingbridge (approximately 2.5 miles) has a range of educational, health and recreational services sufficient to cater for most everyday needs. Whitsbury Down provides a glorious setting for walking and riding enthusiasts, whilst several miles to the East the New Forest National Park provides thousands of acres of unspoiled moor and heath land.
Communications in the area are excellent. The A338 supplies a convenient link north to the Cathedral City of Salisbury and south to Bournemouth. The B3078 crosses the New Forest to provide links to Junction 1 of the M27 for Southampton and the M3 beyond. There are airports at Bournemouth and Southampton and mainline rail services to London Waterloo from Salisbury, Bournemouth and Southampton Parkway.
A selection of well reputed public and private schools populate the area, including Godolphin, Chaffyn Grove and the Cathedral School in Salisbury, Port Regis and St Mary's near Shaftesbury, Bryanston and Clayesmore towards Blandford and Forres Sandle Manor, located closer to home on the outskirts of Fordingbridge. The two well respected Grammar schools of South Wilts and Bishop Wordsworths in Salibury are complemented by the excellent Secondary school at Burgate.
Racing is found at Salisbury, Bath and Wincanton, golf can be enjoyed at Salisbury, Bramshaw and Somerley and water sports opportunities are in abundance on the South Coast and within parts of the New Forest.
Blackmoor Cottage is approached through a five bar wooden gate that opens to a gravelled parking area providing sufficient parking space for several vehicles. There is an area of hard standing immediately to the front of the detached brick built double garage 6.4m (21ft 0in) x 5.18m (17ft 3in) with electric up and over door, power and light connected and a cold tap. Within the garage there is plentiful overhead storage and a personal door opening to the garden. From the front there is side access to the rear gardens.
The garden is located predominantly to the rear and side of the house (east and south facing), where a varied collection of shrubs and flowers populate several established beds and borders, ensuring a degree of seasonal colour throughout the year, particularly in the spring and summer months. A patio adjoins the rear of the house, beyond which is a well maintained central expanse of lawn. Further shrub beds surround a former Victorian out-house and an assortment of apple and cherry trees sporadically intersperse the gardens throughout. In the Northern corner of the garden a gate opens to a second access point, with a right of way over an overgrown track to the lane.
