Summary - BROCK COTTAGE, FURZEY LANE SO42 7WB
5 bed 4 bath Bungalow
Spacious period home with separate income annexe and large gardens.
Almost one acre plot with open forest views
Brock Cottage is a rare Arts and Crafts bungalow set on almost an acre at the edge of Beaulieu, with open views across New Forest heathland. The main house, built in 1920 with distinctive Pisé de terre walls and original leaded windows, provides generous single‑storey living with a large sitting room, formal dining room, conservatory and principal bedroom suite. A detached one‑bedroom annexe, previously a successful holiday let, sits to the side and offers potential income or flexible guest accommodation.
The plot is a major asset: gated gravel drive, space for several cars, two garages and extensive formal and productive gardens including an orchard, greenhouse, vegetable beds, ornamental pond and large oak framed shed. Superfast broadband is available and the house sits within the Forest South East conservation area, enjoying privacy and direct proximity to open forest and river moorings.
The property is offered chain free but requires a programme of refurbishment to realise its full potential. Services include mains electricity and water, oil‑fired heating to both house and annexe, and private drainage to a cesspit. Energy performance is currently low (main house E, annexe F) and upgrading the heating, insulation and some internal finishes will be needed. Council Tax is high (Band G).
For buyers seeking character and space the house is a strong canvas: sympathetic renovation or modest extension could create a refined family home or generate rental income from the annexe. Practical drawbacks — oil heating, private drainage, low EPC ratings and renovation works — are factual considerations for budgeting and future running costs.
