Summary - YEW TREE COTTAGE MANCHESTER ROAD SWAY LYMINGTON SO41 6AS
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Large plot backing paddock with huge garden and parking, ideal for sympathetic renovation.
Two double bedrooms with original feature fireplaces
Coming to the market for the first time in fifty years, this two-bedroom, end-terrace cottage sits on an unusually large plot of approximately 0.23 acres and backs onto paddock land. The house retains period character throughout — feature fireplaces, a porthole window to the landing and generous room proportions — and benefits from substantial off-street parking and multiple outbuildings.
The property is in need of renovation: services are present (mains gas boiler and radiator heating, double glazing added after 2002) but the solid brick walls are assumed to be uninsulated and internal upgrading will be required to bring the house to modern standards. The layout suits a couple or small family who want a project with significant garden and scope to reconfigure interiors.
Externally the rear garden extends to over 200ft, with a courtyard, brick-built store with gardeners’ cloakroom, greenhouse and sheds, then opens onto paddock land. Location is a strong selling point — a short walk to the village and immediate access to New Forest National Park, with outstanding and good primary schools close by. The area is very affluent, with low crime and fast broadband, and the property is freehold with moderate council tax.
In short, this cottage offers rare plot size and character in a desirable fringe-of-forest setting, but it requires honest investment to modernise, improve insulation and update finishes before it reaches its full potential.
