About this property

    Unexpectedly re-available and offered with no onward chain.

    Occupying an outstanding plot of approx. 0.6 acres in the heart of Sway, this charming detached cottage is now in need of refurbishment throughout and presents a rare opportunity for buyers seeking space, privacy and significant future potential. Surrounded by mature trees and countyside the property enjoys a semi-rural feel while remaining within easy reach of Sway village centre and the New Forest.

    The existing accommodation extends to approximately 1,526 sq ft, arranged over two floors, and includes three bedrooms, multiple reception spaces and a conservatory. While the house now requires modernisation, it provides a characterful base for improvement, offering the chance to create a bespoke family home or countryside retreat.

    The true highlight is the plot itself. The generous grounds wrap around the property and include extensive lawned areas, mature hedging, established trees and a large driveway providing ample off road parking.

    A substantial detached garage and additional outbuildings further enhance the appeal, offering excellent scope for storage, workshops, studios or ancillary accommodation (subject to the necessary consents and planning permissions).

    Given the scale of the plot and layout of the site, there is considerable potential to extend, remodel or reconfigure the existing dwelling, or to explore alternative uses of the outbuildings, subject to planning permission.

    Properties offering this level of space and flexibility within Sway are exceptionally rare and any potential purchase could benefit from creating a wonderfully individual home.

    This is an ideal opportunity for buyers with vision, whether looking to undertake a sympathetic renovation, create a long-term family home, or invest in a property with clear future upside in a highly sought-after New Forest village location.
