Set close to the River Stour in the pretty village of Throop, this impressive single-storey property offers rest and relaxation for couples or small families. The tranquil village has several pubs and places to eat, and is surrounded by scenic, rolling hills. Visit the historic Throop Mill, adjacent to the property, or head out on a walk from your door, into the countryside or alongside the river that runs through the village. Just 4 miles away, vibrant Bournemouth has sandy beaches and an aquarium, as well as a renowned art gallery, restaurants, bars and a theatre. The Saxon town of Christchurch is only 3.5 miles, boasting castle ruins, a historic church, a thriving mix of independent shops and restaurants offering locally caught seafood. Alternatively, the New Forest is 10 miles away, boasting a landscape of tranquil woodland, heathland and river valleys.
Step through the patio doors and directly into the open-plan living space, with its soaring, beamed ceiling and co-ordinated colour scheme – a beautiful blend of old with new that offers style, function and welcoming comfort. The kitchen area provides all the features you’ll need for holiday cooking, from a convenient microwave and air fryer to a dishwasher for easy clean-up. Enjoy delicious meals at the breakfast bar, where there are high stools for four people, before heading over to the lounge area and sinking into the comfortable seating for an evening of relaxation, with a Smart TV for streaming your choice of box sets or movies. A king bedroom and a twin room await. Both bedrooms boast Smart TVs, alongside welcoming, neutral decor that provides the perfect backdrop to a tranquil night’s sleep. They share a sleek, modern shower room with a walk-in shower and surface-mounted washbasin.
The safely enclosed outside space means you can simply stroll into the courtyard and relax on the bench or the outdoor seating, or enjoy an al fresco drink or snack at the bistro table. Access to the cottage is via electric gates, and you’ll find allocated parking for up to 2 cars located outside the property on a layby.
