Staddles Cottage is a beautifully atmospheric detached period cob cottage with a barn style oak framed extension with origins believed to date back some 200 years
Set in a wonderfully picturesque position, it enjoys spectacular views across its generous south facing garden of approximately half an acre and the surrounding New Forest countryside.
During their tenure, the current owner has carried out an exceptional programme of extension and improvement, resulting in a truly striking character home that makes full use of its privileged setting. The property blends period charm with modern comfort to impressive effect. Thick original walls, exposed timbers and a magnificent inglenook fireplace sit harmoniously alongside the contemporary green oak extension and open plan living spaces.
The ground floor offers a generous, characterful sitting room centred around the inglenook fireplace, together with an attractive open plan kitchen/dining room featuring a vaulted ceiling and striking trifold doors opening onto the gardens. A mezzanine-level breakout area provides a versatile and welcoming space, ideal for informal seating, relaxation, or additional living/work-from-home use, overlooking the main floor below. A ground floor bedroom provides excellent convenience, complete with dressing room and an en suite shower room.
Upstairs, the first floor offers two further double bedrooms, both beautifully bright and enjoying exceptional views over the grounds, with a contemporary family bathroom featuring an elegant rolltop bath.
The gardens are a particular highlight: secluded, south facing and thoughtfully landscaped, they provide a stunning backdrop for outdoor entertaining, with a generous patio terrace perfectly positioned to enjoy the surroundings. The property benefits from an excellent range of outbuildings, offering outstanding versatility and storage. These include two garages and adjoining workshop space; A separate outbuilding provides additional storerooms. Together, the outbuildings extend to a substantial footprint, making them perfect for those seeking space for business use, leisure pursuits, or future potential (subject to relevant consents).
