Situation Iris Cottage occupies a delightful setting in the New Forest village of Brockenhurst and is located in a quiet cul-de-sac next to the open forest. The village of Brockenhurst offers a good range of local facilities including a butcher, greengrocer and baker, as well as an excellent mainline train service to London/Waterloo (approximately 90 minutes). The manorial village of Beaulieu lies about 6 miles to the east, to the south of which is the marina of Bucklers Hard on the Beaulieu River. The Georgian market town of Lymington lies some 5 miles to the south and offers an extensive range of shopping facilities as well as excellent amenities for yachtsmen including 2 marinas. The M27 (Junction 1, Cadnam) is situated some 8 miles to the north of the property and links to the A31 and M3.
Description Iris Cottage was built in the late 19th Century of brick elevations under a slate roof, with later additions to the rear. The accommodation is arranged over 2 floors and benefits from gas fired central heating. The property sits in a mature garden with a delightful summerhouse. From the property there are pleasant walks onto Meerut Road, giving access to the open forest. The village centre, with its amenities and school, is within walking distance. The cottage has off-road parking and a garage, unusual for this part of Brockenhurst. In all, Iris Cottage would be ideal either for a family or as a second home, and would benefit from some improvement.
