A rare opportunity to acquire a pair of 3-bedroom semi-detached cottages in the heart of the pretty village of Rockbourne, each set in a generous garden plot.

1 & 2 Yonge Cottages are a pair of attractive semi-detached cottages of traditional red brick elevation dating from the late Victorian years. The cottages occupy a semi-elevated position set well back from the village through road in a semi-elevated position, approached via a shared access driveway.

1 Yonge Cottages
The cottage sits in an established, very well-maintained garden plot of approximately 0.36 acre that slopes on a gentle gradient down to the roadside, and there is a detached brick outhouse shared with No. 2 Yonge Cottages for storage. The cottage benefits from oil fired central heating and recently replaced double-glazed windows and is generally in well maintained condition, albeit with slightly dated décor. We understand the cottage is currently let out on a protected tenancy to the current occupant(s) dating from 1974, which does not include the full extent of the garden, which will provide a regular income stream. Various necessary improvements have recently been completed that include underpinning of the front corner of the house and installation of a firewall.

2 Yonge Cottages
The cottage is accessed via the shared driveway that passes to the rear of No. 1 and opens to a parking and turning area. There is again a generous garden plot of approximately 0.23 acre to the south and west of the cottage as well as an oil-fired central heating system and replacement double-glazed windows. Having been the subject of various improvements in recent years, the cottage is presented in very good decorative condition. We understand the cottage has previously been let out on an Assured Shorthold Tenancy and there is a valid planning consent for a 2-storey rear extension (App. No. 23/11240). Further details are available online at newforest.gov.uk.
In addition, we understand there may be scope to put a small home office in the garden or utilise the existing brick outbuildings for an alternative purpose, subject to securing planning permission.

The sought after Downland village of Rockbourne sits amidst lovely rolling countryside, much of which is a designated Conservation Area. Rockbourne is home to a thriving community that benefits from a reputable primary school - which is within close walking distance - a village hall, a church and popular public house. The Avonside town of Fordingbridge (4 miles) provides a comprehensive range of day to day services, including schooling, a medical/health centre, a good range of local shops, a building society and a library.
