An attractive village house standing in the most wonderful garden of about 0.5 acre together with a useful annexe building and garaging for 3 cars.

Description:

The property is an attractive detached house standing in central position within the popular village. The house dates back some 300 years with later additions. The house also benefits from a detached 2 storey outbuilding which provides garaging as well as a studio/playroom, a shower/w.c , and 2 rooms on the first floor. This building is separately heated with a gas fired and has double glazing. The house stands in wonderful gardens of about 0.5 acre that adjoin the Allen River.

Situation:

Stocks Cottage is centrally located in the picturesque Downland village of Damerham, where much of the surrounding countryside is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village has a thriving community with an active Village Hall, Church, Garage/shop, Public House and a host of local produce sellers. Damerham is also home to the reputable Western Downland Primary School (www.westerndownland.hants.sch.uk), which is within level walking distance. The near-by Avonside town of Fordingbridge (about 3.5 miles) caters for everyday needs, including a range of shops, well respected Secondary schooling and sporting facilities. Communications in the area are good, with the Cathedral City of Salisbury, the coastal towns of Bournemouth, Poole and Southampton all within convenient driving distance. All can provide mainline rail links to London Waterloo. Damerham is well placed for those wishing to enjoy the area on foot, wheel or in the saddle: a number of bridleways and footpaths exist in and around Damerham itself, whilst the New Forest National Park, with it's thousands of acres of walking and riding countryside, lies about 5 miles to the East.
