Hollybush Cottage is a substantial four-bedroom country home of almost 3,100 sq ft set on nearly three quarters of an acre in Crow, within the New Forest National Park. The house combines generous living spaces, a country-style kitchen, separate office and workshop, and extensive outdoor entertaining areas including an outdoor kitchen and hot tub — ideal for family living and social gatherings. Off-road parking and a large double garage provide useful vehicle and storage space.
The property sits in a quiet, sought-after village location a short drive from Ringwood’s shops, schools and leisure facilities, with easy road links to Bournemouth, Salisbury and Southampton. Solar panels and mains gas central heating help with running costs, while mature gardens, greenhouse, tool shed and two powered summerhouses add practical benefits and privacy.
There are some tangible maintenance items to note: the fireplace lining requires replacement, the property dates from the 1930s–1940s so some areas will need updating, and drainage is via a septic tank rather than a mains sewer. Double glazing is present but the installation date is unknown. These points, together with the house’s scale, make it well suited to a buyer wanting a family home with room to modernise and personalise rather than a completely turn-key move.
Available freehold, this cottage will appeal to families who want space, privacy and direct access to the New Forest’s open heathland, or buyers seeking a character property with scope to enhance value through sympathetic refurbishment.
