Martin, Fordingbridge, Hampshire, SP6

Believed to originally have been owned by the neighbouring Manor House, Broad Lane Cottage is a charming, detached period cottage of attractive brick and flint elevations with a more recent timber clad extension that is home to a superb kitchen/breakfast room. The cottage has been carefully and sympathetically refurbished by the current owners, who have sought to preserve as much of the heritage of the cottage as possible, thereby creating a welcoming country home imbued with charm and character. As well as the lovely kitchen/breakfast room, there is a snug sitting room, a separate study/dining room, two double bedrooms on the first floor and a tastefully fitted bathroom. Externally, the cottage garden has been landscaped with a series of raised beds and there is an excellent 2-bay car port with adjoining workshop and an attached single garage on the sitting room side of the cottage that, subject to securing relevant planning permission, may offer scope for conversion to additional accommodation. VIEWING HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
