This truly delightful two-bedroom cottage sits within the peaceful Chewton Common conservation area in Highcliffe, providing a charming 17th-century retreat. You’ll be tucked away in a wonderfully quiet part of town, yet just 500 metres from the local high street, which is buzzing with inviting cafes, independent shops and friendly eateries. Discover the sandy shores of Highcliffe Beach (1 mile) where you can enjoy serene views of the Isle of Wight and the Solent. History buffs will love exploring Highcliffe Castle (1.5 miles), a striking 19th-century mansion set in beautifully manicured gardens, while nature lovers may choose to venture a little further to Avon Beach (3 miles) for coastal walks and wildlife spotting, a few hundred meters further and you can enjoy some crabbing on Mudeford Quay. The New Forest National Park is just 2.5 miles away, a lovely place in which to enjoy peaceful walks.
As you approach, the pretty sight of a smaller thatched cottage sets the scene before you continue down the path to your welcoming abode. Inside, you’re greeted by a cosy lounge with exposed ceiling beams, plush sofas and armchairs inviting you to sink in. A quaint circular dining table to the right sets you up for family meals. The compact traditional kitchen, all in gorgeous wood and with an elegant butler sink, overlooks the garden. Adjacent to this is a bathroom with a shower over the bath and WC. A set of narrow cottage-style stairs leads up to the sleeping quarters, comprising a restful double bedroom and a cosy twin room just next door. Please note, as expected in a home of this era, you’ll find low beams and ceilings throughout.
From the kitchen, a small door (mind your head!) opens to the delightful,private garden, a tranquil oasis with seating areas – perfect for soaking up the peace and fresh air.
