Charming Thatched Cottage with Stunning Countryside Views in the Hamlet of Blashford

Set in approximately a quarter of an acre, this beautifully presented thatched cottage combines timeless character with modern comfort. Enjoying a tucked away rural setting and overlooking open farmland, the property was re-thatched around 2016 and boasts a wealth of original features throughout.

Upon entering, the impressive galleried hallway, large enough for a study, immediately captures attention with its ornate herringbone feature wall and elegant spindle staircase leading to the first floor. A cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin is conveniently located off the hallway.

The dual-aspect sitting room exudes charm, showcasing a striking inglenook fireplace and exposed ceiling beams—perfect for cozy evenings by the fire.

The refitted kitchen/breakfast room blends traditional style with modern functionality. Featuring bespoke handmade Shaker units, solid wood worktops, a classic Butler sink, and a dual-fuel AGA (available by separate negotiation), the space is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.

At the rear of the home, a versatile snug or fourth bedroom offers beautiful views over the gardens and surrounding countryside. It is accessible via both the kitchen and sitting room.

Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, all enjoying far-reaching views across the countryside. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom, while a stylish family bathroom serves the remaining two bedrooms.

Witts Cottage is nestled in the idyllic hamlet of Blashford, just 1.5 miles north of the bustling Avon Valley market town of Ringwood. Ringwood offers a comprehensive range of amenities including well-regarded schools, shopping, leisure facilities, and healthcare services. Excellent road connections via the A31 provide swift access to Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, Southampton, Winchester, and London via the M27 and M3 motorways. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate proximity to Moors Valley Country Park and the New Forest National Park, offering endless opportunities for walking, cycling, and equestrian pursuits.

The property is set centrally within beautifully maintained gardens extending to approximately a quarter of an acre. Surrounded by mature trees, fruit trees, and traditional cottage planting, the grounds offer a high degree of privacy and tranquillity. A five-bar gate opens to a gravel driveway with ample parking and a detached double garage.
