The sought after Downland village of Rockbourne sits amidst lovely rolling countryside, much of which is a designated Conservation Area. Rockbourne is home to a thriving community that benefits from a reputable primary school - which is within close walking distance - a village hall, a church and popular public house. The Avonside town of Fordingbridge (4 miles) provides a comprehensive range of day to day services, including schooling, a medical/health centre, a good range of local shops, a building society and a library. The local road network allows ready access to the regional centres of Salisbury, Bournemouth and Southampton; all have mainline rail links to London Waterloo and there are airports at the latter two. A myriad of footpaths and bridleways exist in the surrounding area and there is magnificent outriding to be had on Whitsbury Downs; the contrasting moor, heath and woodland of the New Forest is approximately four miles to the East.
A shingle driveway alongside the cottage leads to a pair of wooden gates that open to a further shingled area for parking, and in turn leads to the detached GARAGE (21' 8" x 7' 8") with double doors and power and light connected.
The garden is a delightful feature of the property and offers a high degree of privacy. Benefiting from a south-westerly orientation, a well maintained lawn runs away from the cottage flanked by deep, well stocked shrub beds and borders that provide a lovely backdrop with flourishes of colour. The upper section of garden was formerly home to a vegetable garden and there is a useful garden store and adjoining log store discreetly located within the garden. The plot totals approximately 0.25 acres.
