Located in the serene hamlet of Redlynch, Fordingbridge, Wiltshire, this charming former agricultural building offers a delightful retreat for up to five guests. Its prime location serves as an excellent base for adventuring through the New Forest National Park, where visitors can explore over 160 miles of scenic routes ideal for walking, riding, and cycling. Along these paths, numerous quaint country pubs invite travelers to take a break and indulge in local fare. The property is conveniently situated for excursions into Hampshire and Wiltshire, with notable attractions such as Burley village, Stonehenge, Beaulieu, Bucklers Hard, and the historic cathedral city of Salisbury all within reach.
The cottage features a well-designed layout, beginning with an inviting entrance that leads into a hallway. To the right, guests will find a practical separate WC, while the left side opens into a cozy lounge, kitchen, and dining area. This open-plan space is enhanced by a wood burner and a Smart TV, creating a perfect environment for relaxation after a day of exploration.

Ascending the staircase leads to a galleried landing where guests will discover three beautifully appointed bedrooms: a stylish king-size, a charming double, and a cozy single. Each bedroom is thoughtfully designed, showcasing exposed beams and offering picturesque views of the surrounding countryside. They share a contemporary bathroom that features a luxurious free-standing bath, a separate shower, and a WC. While the bedrooms are set into the eaves of the building, some areas do have restricted head height, adding to the unique character of the space.
Outside, the property boasts a delightful patio equipped with garden furniture and a charcoal BBQ, making it an ideal spot for relaxed meals while enjoying the peaceful pastureland scenery.
