Set back from the road, this charming late 19th-century semi-detached cottage presents a fantastic opportunity to modernise and create a characterful home in a sought-after location. The ground floor offers two well-proportioned reception rooms, a kitchen, and a lean-to utility/sun room with a convenient WC off. Upstairs, there are two spacious double bedrooms complemented by a generous bathroom. Most of the windows are double glazed and and the majority of the rooms have night storage heating. Outside, the property benefits from a sizeable, attractively planted rear garden, ample off-road parking, and the share of a double garage leading off Queens Road.
LOCATION
Pound Green is a charming conservation area featuring a picturesque collection of cottages, quietly set back from Queens Road yet just a short walk from the heart of the village. Within a few hundred yards, you’ll find a range of amenities including shops, a health centre, library, sports centre, and swimming pool. Situated on the southern edge of Freshwater, the property enjoys easy access to stunning coastal scenery via nearby public footpaths leading to Tennyson Down. A network of bridleways and trails opens up miles of downland and coastal walks, perfect for hiking, mountain biking, or horse riding. Freshwater Bay, with its 18-hole golf course and beach, is approximately a mile away, while the popular beaches at Totland and Colwell Bays are just a little further afield. For convenient travel to the mainland, the Yarmouth ferry terminal, offering regular crossings to Lymington in the New Forest, is only about a ten-minute drive away.
