Bryants Cottage is a beautiful Grade II listed property located within a plot approaching half an acre on the outskirts of the New Forest National Park. Features include original oak beams, vaulted ceilings, oil fired aga, log burner, three double bedrooms, modern ground floor shower room, off road parking and much more,<br /><br />Bryants Cottage was originally two cottages and a tavern built back in the 17th century with 18th and 20th century alterations. The majority of the property was re-built in 2007 after a fire. Some original beams and fixtures were saved and are proudly still on show. The property is steeped in local history and very well known throughout the area so we are sure there will be lots of interest. <br /><br />A lovely blend of traditional features and modern fixtures make this 'chocolate box' cottage stand out from the rest. The large windows and vaulted ceilings bring a feel of light and space which is certainly not the norm with properties of this age and style. A solid oak front door opens into the reception hallway which is currently being used as a study area and leads to the feature oak staircase. the craftsmanship and attention to detail within this staircase certainly needs to be seen to be appreciated! <br /><br />The next room is the ground floor, modern shower room with feature matching sink and W.C. A low level, walk-in double shower completes the room perfectly. The sitting room is a lovely, relaxing, and warm space with a stunning inglenook fireplace complete with large woodburning stove- the main ceiling beam here is one of the original ones with the newer modern ones complimenting the aged timber. Adjacent to this sitting room is the main dining room. An exposed brick alcove houses a beautiful, oil fuelled AGA which supplies the properties hot water (there is also an immersion system within the property) and heating source (electric heaters are also within the property). This room is dual aspect with windows to the front garden and a door through to the kitchen. The side door into the kitchen is the main entrance for the current vendors, making it a more logical choice for access to the parking area. The room is dual aspect with views over the rear garden. The galley style room offers bespoke units complemented with oak work tops and terracotta floor tiles, with built in oven (never been used) and integral dishwasher. An adjacent breakfast area overlooks the landscaped fishpond and rear garden through patio doors and also leads down to the utility room. <br /><br />The stunning oak staircase leads to three double bedrooms. Bedroom three is a lovely double room and all rooms display exposed beams which create an inviting cottage feel. Bedroom two is slightly larger and benefits from inbuilt storage, which also houses the airing cupboard. The master suite consists of a large double room, dressing area and en-suite bathroom- the bathroom looks over the rear garden which is a great place for relaxing in the tub.<br /><br />Fryern Court Road lies to the north of the Avonside town of Fordingbridge, a semi-rural position close to open farmland yet conveniently only a few minutes drive from the town itself. Fordingbridge (approximately 1 mile) offers a good range of local services, including shops, banks, leisure facilities and an excellent health centre. Educational needs are well served by the well respected primary and secondary schools within the town, a further primary school in the village of Breamore and Forres Sandle Manor, found on the westerly outskirts of the town. <br /> <br />The regional commercial and employment centres of Salisbury, Bournemouth and Southampton are within a daily commute via the local road network including the nearby A338; all supply rail links to London (Waterloo) and there are airports at the latter two. The outdoor enthusiast is blessed by the proximity of the New Forest National Park (approximately 1 1/2 miles), which provides glorious walking, riding and cycling countryside.<br /><br />The garden is mainly laid to lawn with rockery, pond, patio area, two outbuildings- one currently used as an entertaining space, with mains electrics, and the other a potting and storage shed. Bryants Cottage offers a mix of traditional features and feel with a lovely modern twist. The Cottage is warm and inviting while being spacious and flexible. Both inside and outside need to be seen to be appreciated.<br /><br />EPC: TBC<br />Council Tax Band: F<br />Services: Mains water and electricity.
