It would be hard to find a more peaceful, idyllic setting than this… a secluded "eyebrow" thatched cottage situated at the bottom of a woodland track in the heart of the New Forest, fronting the Hampshire Avon with fields beyond and set in 0.75 acre of garden, which includes a series of ponds fed by natural springs. From the cottage there is immediate access into the forest and, for keen fishermen, half a mile of private fishing.The ancient New Forest landscape, where ponies and cattle are free to roam, is an ideal venue for walking, riding and cycling. It offers many places of interest – Beaulieu, Bucklers Hard, Lymington, Rockbourne Roman Villa, Breamore House, to name but a few. The larger cities of Salisbury, Southampton and Bournemouth are an easy drive and the small country town of Fordingbridge (4 miles) provides good local shopping.Undercastle Cottage is a green oak, timber framed cottage recently built to a traditional design and to very high specifications.
