Outside
Thatcher's Pond is approached from an unmade gravel track via a cattle grid and an electric five bar wooden gate that opens to a generous gravelled area to the front of the cottage providing parking and turning for a number of vehicles. Access to the detached DOUBLE GARAGE via an electric up and over door 6.02m (19ft 9in) x 4.88m (16ft 6in). Power and light are connected.
The delightful, landscaped gardens are predominantly located to the rear of the cottage, enjoying a fine, southerly orientation on a gentle gradient that affords views over Hyde Common, particularly from the well located SUMMERHOUSE/CABIN that is currently utilised as a HOME OFFICE with telephone/Wi-Fi connection. The gardens are primarily laid to lawn bordered by deep, well stocked herbaceous and perennial borders that provide an abundance of seasonal colour and variety and a very pretty ornamental pond. Capitalising on the southerly aspect, a sheltered patio accessed from a number of points from the house is a perfect sun trap and provides wonderful al fresco entertaining space. On the western side is a further area of well tended VEGETABLE GARDEN, KENNEL, garden shed and large timber WORKSHOP currently used as a GYM.
Directions
From Fordingbridge High Street pass over the River Avon and under the flyover. Turn right opposite the Southampton Road garage before immediately turning left (signposted Stuckton/Frogham). Follow this road through Stuckton and over the cattle grid, climbing Frogham Hill. Turn right at the crossroads at the top of Frogham Hill and after a short distance turn right into the gravel track on the right hand bend. The entrance to the property will be located as the first on the left after approximately 400 hundred yards.
