The property is entered via an entrance door opening into a reception vestibule with stairs rising to the first floor. This leads through to the delightful sitting room, featuring exposed beams, a brick fireplace with wood-burning stove and superb uninterrupted views across Pilley Green towards the open forest beyond.
The sitting room flows into a charming dining room with partly vaulted ceiling and double doors opening onto the terrace and garden, creating an excellent connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.
The kitchen is attractively fitted with a range of cupboards and drawers beneath exposed beams and incorporates a double oven, electric hob, dishwasher and refrigerator. From the kitchen, a useful utility lobby provides additional appliance space, including plumbing for a washing machine, together with a stable door leading directly to the garden.
A particular advantage of the accommodation is the ground floor bedroom, enjoying a raised bay window with attractive views over Pilley Green and characterful exposed beams. Adjacent is a cloakroom fitted with WC and wash basin.
To the first floor, a small landing leads to Bedroom Two, which enjoys a range of fitted wardrobe cupboards, a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and delightful views across the green and forest. Bedroom Three features colour-washed brick walls and exposed beams, also benefitting from views to the front over Pilley Green, and in turn leads through to an occasional bedroom or dressing room with further character features including colour-washed walls and beams. The first floor accommodation is completed by a bathroom fitted with bath and shower attachment, WC and wash basin.
Externally, a driveway to the side of the property provides ample parking for two to three vehicles and access to a single garage with up-and-over door and personal door to the garden.
The rear garden is a particular feature of the property, enjoying a quintessential cottage garden atmosphere. A paved terrace adjoins the house and leads onto a well-maintained lawn bordered by established beds and borders. A brick pathway continues through the garden, passing a former well, and leads to a generous rear area previously used as a productive kitchen garden. The boundaries are enclosed by mature hedging and fencing, providing a good degree of privacy and seclusion.
Location
The Pink Cottage enjoys an enviable position within the charming New Forest hamlet of Pilley, directly adjoining the open forest where ponies, cattle and donkeys roam freely. The nearby village centre offers a traditional and welcoming community atmosphere, while the surrounding forest provides endless opportunities for walking, cycling and riding through some of the country’s most beautiful countryside.
The nearby coastal town of Lymington is approximately five minutes away by car and offers an extensive range of amenities, including its renowned Georgian High Street, popular Saturday market, supermarkets, marinas and yacht clubs. The area is also well served by highly regarded schools and excellent transport links, with nearby rail services connecting to London Waterloo via Brockenhurst station.
