Set on a generous plot within the New Forest National Park and moments from the sea wall, this Grade II listed cottage blends historic character with comfortable family living. Exposed beams, two wood‑burning stoves, four reception rooms and a conservatory create flexible living space for relaxed coastal life. The private garden, multiple patios and off‑street parking—large enough for several cars, a caravan or boat—are key lifestyle assets.
The house offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms across a multi‑storey layout that includes the original narrow staircase to the main suite and a second stair giving access to the remainder of the first floor. A fitted kitchen/breakfast room, separate utility and a study with direct outside access add practicality for daily family routines and home working. A detached double garage with garden store and WC increases storage and hobby potential.
Buyers should note this property’s Grade II listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance or extension plans; any changes will require listed‑building consent. Broadband is very slow, which could affect high‑demand home working or streaming without alternative solutions. Council tax is above average for the area.
Overall, this is a rare, characterful cottage in a sought‑after coastal and rural setting. It will suit buyers drawn to period detail and outdoor life who are comfortable with the responsibilities of listed ownership and the practicalities of modest digital connectivity.
