Set just off the beaten track in Newgrounds, Graylands is a character former foresters cottage with a wide outlook over adjoining paddocks and the New Forest beyond. The house sits in just under 0.2 acres with a southerly-sloping lawn, concrete patio and large garage, and benefits from immediate Forest access via nearby footpaths — ideal for walkers, riders and countryside lovers.
Inside, the cottage offers flexible living across two levels: a beamed living room with full-height brick fireplace, a dining area with sliding doors onto the garden, a ground-floor bedroom and wet room, a home office and three first-floor bedrooms (one with a balcony). Two staircases increase the property's potential for multi-generational use or holiday-let configuration.
The property has been in the same ownership for decades and has recently operated successfully as a holiday let, but it now requires cosmetic updating throughout. Heating is by an oil-fired boiler with solid-brick, uninsulated walls (assumed), and drainage is private. Broadband speeds are very slow — important for home-working buyers who depend on reliable internet.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking a peaceful, rural lifestyle near the New Forest who value character and outdoor space and are prepared to carry out cosmetic renovation and modernisation. Chain free and freehold, it presents strong scope for improvement-led value uplift while retaining its original charm.
