3 bed detached house for sale

Fernhill Lane, New Milton BH25

Spa Cottage was built in 2015 to a high specification, using reclaimed brickwork to introduce character and texture. The property benefits from a Grade A EPC and includes two outbuildings suitable for ancillary accommodation or a potential home income opportunity (STPP). Set in a semi-rural position, the property enjoys the convenience of being within walking distance of the town centre and railway station, while remaining notably private, approached via a quiet lane. The gardens extend to approximately 0.5 acres and enjoy open views across the surrounding countryside.

The situation

The property is situated just outside of the New Forest National Park, just moments from the open forest and just a few miles of the coast which offers cliff top walks, beaches, and spectacular views over the Solent and the Isle of Wight.

Local amenities at New Milton are within one mile with schools for all age groups including the renowned Ballard School nearby. The Georgian coastal town of Lymington is within eight miles where you will find a range of boutique shops, many fine restaurants, excellent sailing facilities, and a thirty minute car ferry crossing to Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight.

The property is well placed for access to other major towns and cities including Bournemouth (13 miles), Southampton (19 miles) and Winchester (31 miles), with a link to London Waterloo via New Milton (2 hours) or Brockenhurst (1 hour 40 minutes).

Outside

Outside, a gravelled track and five-bar gate lead to a sweeping driveway providing ample parking and access to the detached garage. The gardens are arranged into clearly defined areas, including a rose garden, orchard, two ponds and a south-facing lawn, with patio areas surrounding the property.

Outbuildings

The two one-bedroom outbuildings each provide a living area with kitchenette, bedroom and bathroom, offering flexibility for guest accommodation, multi-generational living or an income opportunity (subject to planning permission).
