Owners Comments
\"It has been a privilege to live here alongside our animal neighbours, watching the forest change with every season, a truly beautiful place.\"
\"We adore the living arrangement of Veronica Cottage. The main reception offers us the cosiness of the woodburning stove in winter and the light and freedom of access to the sun terrace in the summer.\"
Introduction
Enjoying delightful views over the open New Forest, Veronica Cottage has origins dating back to Victorian times, although over the years has been exquisitely extended to create a sizeable family home, beautifully arranged over three floors.

The accommodation centres upon a striking open plan reception area including a fully integrated stylish 'live in' kitchen with a sitting area incorporating a feature woodburning stove and twin sliding patio doors to the south facing sun deck. The dining area enjoys a large picture window overlooking the garden and steps descending to the substantial reception area below.
There are four sizeable bedrooms with three bathrooms all featuring luxurious sanitary ware and tiling and the property is situated in the heart of the pretty village of Nomansland enjoying extensive views and access over the beautiful New Forest. Presented in excellent order throughout, this delightful cottage will appeal to a wide range of prospective purchasers.
