Rockbourne, Fordingbridge, Hampshire, SP6

Reputedly one of the oldest dwellings in the village, Pennys Cottage is a wonderful, versatile period home displaying character and heritage in abundance behind a most attractive timber framed and render facade. The current owner has carefully sought to preserve and, where possible, enhance the history of the house and many principal rooms feature exposed ceiling and wall timbers and and magnificent fireplaces in the sitting and dining rooms. The house has evolved over the years and a later rear extension, currently used as a ground floor bedroom and well-fitted wet room, has added a degree of versatility to the accommodation. To the front of the cottage are two well-proportioned reception rooms including a generous sitting room featuring fireplaces at either end of the room. The first floor is home to two further double bedrooms, an en suite bathroom and the option of a dressing room or extra single bedroom. Externally, there is an excellent garage outbuilding with adjoining store or work-from-home office space and the cottage sits in well-stocked, landscaped gardens extending to approximately 0.5 acre that offer a high degree of privacy.
