Open house day Saturday 27th July 2024,11am - 2pm by appointment only.

Situated just a stone's throw from the open New Forest, this period property offers tremendous potential.

Built in 1904, The Old Manse is an attractive red brick country home, with an abundance of Edwardian character. High ceilings and large sash windows create a sense of light and space within the well-proportioned rooms. The ground floor currently comprises a kitchen/dining room, formal dining and sitting rooms, separate reception room, pantry, downstairs cloakroom, and conservatory with countryside views.

This attractive home features four bedrooms and is prime for modernisation, offering the unique opportunity to combine character and the contemporary to create a fantastic family home to your exact specification.

Set back from the road with generous wrap-around gardens bordered by mature trees and shrubbery, the property is approached via a long driveway which is shared with one other property. Overlooking fields to the rear and being so close to the open New Forest (3-4 minute walk) this home will feel like a rural retreat, yet has the convenience of all the schools, shops and amenities the village has to offer. The beaches of Calshot and Lepe are both a very short drive away, Beaulieu is a 10 minute drive away, and there are good transport links to Southampton, M27 and beyond.

With generous and versatile living accommodation offering great potential in a great location, this is an opportunity not to miss.
