An appealing 1920s cottage occupying a superb position in the upper corner of Woodgreen Common with direct access to the Common and surrounding forest.
Speedwell Cottage is an attractive, double-fronted cottage that occupies a superb position on the edge of Woodgreen Common, which is but a short stroll from the front gate. Originally, the cottage formed the stables to neighbouring Langat House until 1921, when it was converted into a residential dwelling, and during their 35 year tenure the present owners have subsequently extended the property, creating a spacious principal bathroom and enlarged master suite in the process. The cottage sits in attractive, well stocked cottage style gardens and benefits from ample parking and a detached garage.

Woodgreen is a thriving village on the North West boundary of the New Forest National Park, with much of the village itself and immediate surrounding area designated as a Conservation Area. The community is well served by a number of facilities, including a community run Post Office/shop, public house, village hall and church. There is a traditional village green, home not only to the local cricket team but also to a number of the ponies, cattle and donkeys that freely roam the New Forest. The forest offers many miles of unspoiled heath, moor and woodland, making an ideal location for those who enjoy walking, riding, cycling and other outdoor pursuits. The Avonside town of Fordingbridge and the Cathedral City of Salisbury between them have comprehensive facilities for all day to day needs and both are within 10 miles.
Communications in the area are excellent. The B3078 from Godshill supplies a convenient link with the M27 at Junction 1 for Southampton, the M3 and London beyond. The A338 passes through the Avon Valley and provides commutable access to Salisbury, Bournemouth and Poole. There are international airports at Southampton and Bournemouth and mainline stations to London (Waterloo) from Salisbury and Southampton Parkway.
A 5-bar wooden gate opens on to a gravelled driveway that runs to the front and side of the cottage, leading to a detached GARAGE of brick construction with a single up and over door.
Garden
The garden is located primarily to the front of the cottage and enjoys a Southerly orientation. The driveway is flanked by lawns with well planted shrub and flower beds and defined seating areas. The front boundary is a mixture of hedging and fencing. To the rear is a small area of hardstanding with a garden shed.
New Forest District Council. Tax Band: E. Council Tax payable 2019/20: £2,090.95.
Mains water and electricity. Water softener. Private drainage - please note the tank is located within the garden of neighbouring New Forest Close.

Turn right immediately after passing the Horse & Groom Public House and follow the road as it ascends to The Common. Continue past the post box and follow the road as it runs alongside The Common. The entrance to Speedwell Cottage will be found after a short distance on the left hand side towards the upper corner of The Common.
