A beautifully maintained cottage with versatile 4-bedroom accommodation in the most magnificent position adjoining the open acres of Hyde Common, with direct forest access.
Thatchers Pond is a charming, detached period cottage occupying a quite wonderful position abutting Hyde Common with open forest on the doorstep and within walking distance of the reputable Hyde primary school, garden centre and store, The Potting Shed café, and The Foresters public house. The cottage has been extended and significantly improved over the course of time and offers an exceptional blend of versatile accommodation and modern comfort intertwined with a sense of character, all of which has been extremely well maintained during the current owners' tenure. A well-proportioned principal sitting room is complemented by a cosy snug, separate dining room and lovely garden room, all of which enjoy ample natural light courtesy of the southerly aspect. The ground floor is also home to a convenient en suite bedroom, with three bedrooms and a well fitted principal bathroom on the first floor. The cottage sits in an established, attractively landscaped garden extending to approximately 0.3 acre within which is an array of useful outbuildings including a double garage, large summerhouse/cabin (currently used as an office) and an external gym/store.
Thatchers Pond occupies a simply glorious position on the edge of the Hyde Common with direct forest access from the front gate. Frogham is one of several peaceful hamlets and villages located in the uppermost north western corner of the New Forest National Park, where ponies and donkeys frequent the village lanes and open forest. There is a popular public house and village hall within Frogham, whilst across the Common neighbouring Hyde has a highly regarded primary school, garden shop and appealing Potting Shed cafe. Fordingbridge (approx. 1.5 miles) and Ringwood (approx. 6 miles) have an excellent range of local shops, health centres and reputable state primary and secondary schools, with Moyles Court and Forres Sandle Manor serving the private sector.
For those seeking a balance between a 'work-from-home' and office-based environment, communications in the area are excellent. The local road network, including the A338 and A36, draws the regional centres of Salisbury, Bournemouth and Southampton within striking distance. There are mainline rail services from Salisbury and Southampton Parkway (90 minutes and 71 minutes respectively) to London Waterloo and international airports at Southampton and Bournemouth.
Those seeking outdoor pursuits will undoubtedly be satisfied by the wonderful location and the glorious walking, riding and cycling countryside on the door step at Hyde Common and Abbotswell. There is a choice of local golf and angling clubs in the vicinity and sailing opportunities abound on the South Coast and at Spinnaker Sailing Club at Blashford Lakes, near Ringwood.
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.
