An interesting opportunity to acquire a pair of cottages requiring modernisation and an adjoining 0.85 acre of land located in a semi-rural position on the outskirts of the town.
Believed to date from about 1900, 5 & 6 Bowerwood Cottages are an end pair of a terrace of six cottages occupying a peaceful semi-rural location on the very westerly fringes of the town.

No. 6 has the benefit of a carport and to the west is a grass paddock of about 0.85 acre.

5 & 6 Bowerwood Cottages occupy a lovely, elevated semi-rural position approximately 1.5 miles from the town, blessed with a superb outlook and close access to local footpaths to explore the immediate surrounding country. Fordingbridge has an array of health, educational and recreational facilities to offer, which include excellent doctors' and dentists' surgeries, reputable primary and secondary schools and a good range of local shops, a library and building society. The road network draws the commercial and employment centres of Salisbury, Southampton, Bournemouth and Poole within day to day striking distance, with mainline railway stations at Salisbury, Southampton and Bournemouth to London (Waterloo). International airports are at Southampton and Bournemouth. Situated on the fringe of the New Forest National Park, Fordingbridge is the ideal stepping stone for further exploration of the thousands of acres of heath and woodland the forest has to offer.
To the front of each cottage is a small front garden, with the larger sections of gardens located to the rear. The gardens are generally in an overgrown condition.

Leave Fordingbridge in the sign posted direction of Sandleheath and Damerham. At the first mini-roundabout by the Augustus John public house turn left into Ashford Road. Follow the road as it drops down to a small bridge and then rises, pass the entrance to Ashford House and turn into the next track on the right. No 5 & 6 Bowerwood Cottages will be found after a short distance on the right hand side.
