This charming 17th-century cottage, known as The Milestone, is nestled in the picturesque village of Plaitford, with direct access to the New Forest opposite. The property boasts a plethora of character features, including exposed beamed ceilings and Inglenook fireplaces, and is set amidst half an acre of beautiful grounds. Although in need of updating, the cottage offers an excellent opportunity for renovation and has a rich history, having once been owned by the Earl of Ilchester. The property features two reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, and three bedrooms on the first floor. The gardens are predominantly level, with far-reaching views over the adjacent countryside, and there is also a larger-than-usual garage that could potentially be developed, subject to planning permission. Located just outside the New Forest and with easy access to Romsey, Southampton, and Salisbury, this unique cottage presents endless possibilities for the next owner to restore its charm and character.
