A characterful and picturesque detached cottage, with associated outbuildings, presented to a beautiful standard and situated on a mature park-like setting spanning approximately two acres.
Sopley is a sought-after hamlet located between Christchurch (3.5 miles), Ringwood (6 miles) and Bransgore (2 miles) on the edge of The New Forest National Park and Avon Valley. The larger coastal town of Bournemouth with its famous beaches is also close by, as are major transport links; the A31 and the M27; leading east to Southampton, the M3 and London beyond. Christchurch has a main line train station as does Bournemouth, the latter benefiting from having an international airport.
‘Smugglers’ is an exquisite, detached period cottage and is Grade II listed, with characterful features throughout, from exposed timber beams to flagstone floors. The property spans approximately 3000 SqFt and is presented immaculately throughout, having been exceptionally well maintained and improved by the current owner.
Upon entry via electric gate into an idyllic park-like setting and curves round into a charming open courtyard. The ground floor accommodation comprises a separate boot room, kitchen/breakfast room, reception hall, drawing room, bathroom and study. Via the kitchen, there is a truly impressive sitting/dining room. Installed by the current owner, the timber framed glazed structure, with vaulted ceilings, sympathetically lends itself to both the characterful features of the cottage and the views out to the garden. Benefits include electric blinds and underfloor heating and leads to the master bedroom with ensuite shower room. Upstairs, there are three further good size bedrooms, a dressing room and shower room.
Externally, within the courtyard there are outbuildings to include former cart barn that is now utilised as open bay garaging, storage barns, potting shed and a former pigsty, which could be utilised and altered to create ancillary accommodation, as per a previously granted planning application Ref. 19/10873. There is also an area of raised patio offering a seating area with a pergola, jacuzzi and a well.
The garden of approximately two acres is mainly lawned and an area of mature woodland with a treehouse and a picturesque tributary of the river Avon flowing through. There is also a gated orchard and pond with waterfall.
