Accommodation
This charming three-bedroom detached character cottage occupies a generous corner plot in a highly sought-after residential area of Highcliffe, within the desirable Highcliffe School catchment.
Well-proportioned and boasting 1200 Sq. Ft of internal space, offering an excellent opportunity for a buyer to update and modernise throughout. While retaining its traditional appeal, the cottage would benefit from comprehensive refurbishment with further potential for enhancement, extension or redevelopment of the current house (STPP), presenting a rare opportunity to transform a character property into a dream home.
As an exciting alternative for those seeking a development project, planning permission has already been granted for a contemporary detached dwelling to replace the existing property.
A viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the plot, location and the significant scope this property offers for renovation or redevelopment.

The home offers flexible accommodation to suit a variety of lifestyles, including two generous reception rooms – a spacious lounge/diner featuring a striking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and a second reception room with a skylight and views over the garden, ideal as a formal dining room or snug perhaps. A good-sized kitchen provides ample floor and eye-level cabinetry, space for freestanding appliances, and room for a breakfast table. The ground floor also includes a convenient WC and a third bedroom that could alternatively serve as a home office while a door from the hallway opens into the garage. Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes, and a three-piece family bathroom.

Externally
Externally, the property enjoys a south-easterly facing, private rear garden, beautifully secluded by mature trees and shrubbery, predominantly laid to lawn with a patio area directly accessed from the reception room—ideal for outdoor dining or entertaining. A driveway to the front provides off-road parking for two vehicles, access to the up and over door of the double garage and a secure side gate that gives access to the rear garden and entry to the property itself.
