This delightful detached farm cottage offers a rural retreat of complete peace and privacy. Step out of the door and you are in a large sunny garden that is encouraged to act as a wildlife haven for both animal and plant life and makes a great spot for summer al fresco dining. The cottage is cosy and welcoming and is the owners' long standing holiday home. There are some lovely country walks from the property (Florence Nightingale is buried in the little local churchyard) and both open forest and the historic cathedral city of Salisbury are within fifteen to twenty minutes' drive.
The large semi-enclosed garden surrounding the house is completely laid to lawn. Hedges and shrubs bordering the garden act as a wildlife haven for both plant and animal life. Open fields extend away from the rear of the property.
The big sister to East Wellow, West Wellow is a flourishing village bordering The New Forest national Park. There are a selection of shops and amenities for everyday supplies, including a Chemist, Post Office and a petrol station. The Rockingham Arms is a wonderful pub with a fine reputation for food, well-kept ale and lovely wine. The pub also has a gorgeous shop, selling an eclectic and unusual mix of tempting gifts. Carlo’s Ice Cream parlour and cafe between East Wellow and West Wellow, is worth seeking out for amazing ice cream and scrumptious home-made food.
The village has a Cricket Pavilion, Tennis Club, Football club, Recreation Ground and busy Church Village Hall with a year-round calendar of events. Fishing in this region is superb. Headlands Farm Coarse Fishery in West Wellow has a good reputation and a few miles on in East Wellow, you’ll find Whinwhistle Coarse Fishery and next door, Woodington Trout Fishery which has a café for wholesome snacks and hearty breakfasts.
