Sourth Gorley, Fordingbridge, SP6

An idyllic village location set within the New Forest National Park, giving you direct Forest access, ample casual parking and no forward chain, are just a few features of this utterly charming, semi-detached property that forms part of the original school and was formerly the head masters home.

This beautiful, sympathetically improved, stylish cottage offers flexible accommodation, with three bedrooms if required (one being on the ground floor) and a host of wonderful original features.

The first floor accommodation comprises two well-proportioned double bedrooms, one with a feature cast fire surround and a spacious, 4-piece family bath/shower room.

The ground floor consists of a delightful, cosy sitting room with log burner and peaceful views over the village green, a fantastic full-width kitchen/dining room with quarry tiled floor and ornate log burner and an additional reception room which could easily be a third bedroom or home office.

This gorgeous character home further benefits from oil fired central heating, plenty of useful storage, bespoke, hand-built double glazed windows and is being sold with vacant possession.

Accessed by a stable style door from the kitchen is an enclosed courtyard style garden, perfect for outdoor entertaining and alfresco dining, with a gate leading directly out into the forest. Located within the courtyard are two very useful original brick outbuildings, one with its original bread oven (the other housing the oil central heating tank), both offering potential to improve and possibly convert.
