Summary - MANOR BANK COTTAGE MAIN ROAD EAST BOLDRE BROCKENHURST SO42 7WT
6 bed 6 bath Detached
17th‑century thatched cottage on four acres with pool, stables and direct forest access.
Thatched 17th‑century cottage fully refurbished, new thatch July 2024
An exceptional 17th‑century thatched cottage sympathetically restored and extended to offer contemporary family living across generous accommodation. Set within approximately four acres, the house sits discreetly at the end of a long drive with direct access onto New Forest riding and walking country and far‑reaching views over the Sowley Estate.
The refurbished principal house provides six bedrooms, six bathrooms and flexible living including a ground‑floor bedroom with ensuite ideal for guests or multigenerational use. High‑spec upgrades include a new thatch (2024), intelligent lighting, Cat‑5 cabling, double glazing, underfloor heating in parts and an air‑source heat pump that also feeds the heated swimming pool for year‑round use.
For equestrian or hobby use the outbuildings are substantial: barn, tack room, three stables, manège and extensive garaging plus a separate one‑bedroom annexe — useful for staff, guests or rental income. Landscaped formal gardens by a Chelsea Gold medallist, extensive parking, oak car port and privacy from mature boundaries complete the offer.
Notable practical points: the property is on private drainage with oil-fired boilers as the main fuel, and council tax is high (main house Band G). While comprehensively renovated, the age and construction (cob and thatch) mean ongoing specialist maintenance is required and the property sits within a conservation area with related restrictions.
