The Property The Old Bailiff's Cottage is a charming, semi-detached, Grade II Listed cottage which is believed to date from the 17th century with later additions. It is constructed predominantly of brick under a mix of both thatch and slate roofs. The house is deceptively spacious and offers a flexible layout. The front door opens in to a dining hall with a wonderful flagstone floor and wood burning stove. This leads to the south-west facing drawing room with an open fire from where views of the garden can be enjoyed. The kitchen/breakfast room has a range of fitted wooden units with granite worktops and gas range. The larder and laundry room are located beside the back door. There is also a useful study with decorative fireplace, and a downstairs cloakroom. Stairs in the older section of the house lead to two further bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor. To the rear of the house is an additional hall which gives access to a sitting room, bathroom and two bedrooms, one of which has french doors to a private courtyard. This area does have its own separate access. A pedestrian gate provides access to the front door through the front garden. A gravelled parking area lies to the side of the house which leads to an attractive gravelled seating area. The garden lies to the rear of the house and is predominantly laid to lawn. It is divided into three separate areas by a variety of mature trees and shrubs and creates a secluded space.
The Old Bailiff's Cottage is conveniently situated in the small village of Ibsley, about 3 miles south of Fordingbridge and close to the New Forest National Park. Ibsley lies to the east of the River Avon and benefits from a public house, The Old Beams Inn. Fordingbridge has a good range of day to day amenities with a wider range of shopping and recreational facilities in both Salisbury, Ringwood and Southampton, which are within easy reach. The surrounding area boasts numerous excellent schools, both private and state, including The Cathedral School, Leaden Hall, Farleigh prep school, Godolphin, Bishop Wordsworth's, Forres Sandle Manor, Landford, Ringwood, Burgate and South Wilts Grammar schools.
