This attractive three-bedroom detached cottage sits in the centre of Sway on a large, secluded plot within easy walking distance of the village, train station and the New Forest. The house combines period character — leaded windows, ornamental beams and fireplaces — with comfortable living spaces including a generous kitchen/breakfast room, separate reception rooms and a utility. A detached garage and wide gravel drive provide ample off-street parking.
The garden is a key strength: well screened, private and generous for a village property, with a paved terrace for entertaining and mature planting. The layout and plot also offer scope to extend further, subject to planning (STP), for buyers wanting to add space or reconfigure living areas.
Practical facts to note: the conservatory requires replacement or refurbishment and the property shows elements typical of older homes (cavity walls assumed without added insulation). Energy rating is D (63) with potential to improve to 84. Council Tax sits at Band F, reflecting running costs to budget for.
Ideal for families seeking village life with excellent access to the New Forest and rail links to Bournemouth and London, this home provides immediate comfortable accommodation and genuine potential to modernise or enlarge over time.
