Owners Comments
“Landford has always been the most wonderful home for many generations. The village community is the most warm and friendly environment to live in and bring up my children. The garden invites a plethora of wildlife including deer, pheasant, wild birds and woodpeckers.”
Introduction
This home features two double bedrooms whilst offering the opportunity to experience the wonderful community spirit of Landford, well provided for in family facilities and schooling on the borders of the New Forest. Foxdale retains many of the features associated with its era including period fireplaces, skirting boards and traditional style doors. Although spacious, the cottage offers much potential to extend, subject to the usual planning consents.
Description
A covered entrance porch leads to the front door which opens into the entrance hall providing access to the principal rooms. The dining room is quaint with a feature exposed brick fireplace with quarry tiled heart and wood mantle. The sitting room is equally charming and also centred upon a fireplace with inset electric fire and recessed airing cupboard. The kitchen is well fitted with a range of eye and base level units and complementary worktops. There is space and plumbing for appliances including an electric oven, fridge freezer and washing machine. An inner lobby offers a downstairs cloakroom and access to the rear garden. The master bedroom is of a good size enjoying an original fireplace and bedroom two is also a double. These are both served by a separate W/C and family bathroom which is equipped with a modern white suite and separate corner shower cubicle with modern electric Mira shower.

A gravel driveway extending to the rear of the property provides generous car parking and access to the garage. The gardens extend to ½ acre and are bordered by established hedging with the front garden laid to lawn and gravel path. The rear garden is substantial, punctuated by mature trees and established hedging providing a natural screening for privacy. The garden is fully lawned with areas previously utilised as a ‘kitchen garden’ to include a greenhouse.
Agents Notes
Rarely are period properties available in this location with this amount of potential for extension and improvement. Foxdale is served by gas fired heating from a back boiler which we understand was installed in 2010, mains drainage and is fitted with double glazing. The rateable value for the property is Band E amounting to £1,949.09 in 2016/17.
