Hurstly Cottage is a beautifully refurbished four-bedroom semi-detached cottage set within circa 0.5 acre in the peaceful Sandy Down hamlet, inside the New Forest National Park. The house has been updated to a high specification with period features retained — oak flooring, sash windows and fireplaces — while modern fittings from Corston and Jim Lawrence provide a contemporary finish. A southerly-facing garden, long gravel driveway with extensive off-street parking and a holding paddock give excellent outdoor space for family life or country hobbies.
The flexible ground floor layout includes a spacious kitchen with island, a light open-plan dining room, a family room with valley views and a snug/cinema room with open fire. Upstairs there are four double bedrooms, two with period fireplaces, and a well-appointed family bathroom. The property benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing and ultrafast broadband availability (up to 1800 Mbps reported).
Practical points to note: the property uses a shared private sewage treatment plant serving two houses, and the council tax is Band E (above average). The house dates from c.1900–1929 and external cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so buyers may wish to consider insulation or energy improvements despite a current EPC of D (56) with potential 73. Access to Brockenhurst station (approx 2 miles) and nearby Lymington add commuting and leisure convenience.
Overall this is a secluded, characterful family home with substantial garden and paddock, high-spec interiors and clear scope for further energy upgrades or landscaping to personalise the large plot.
