Colbury House Cottage

This charming Victorian cottage is set along a quiet, tree lined, lane in the pretty village of Calmore, and within a short distance of a wealth of amenities.

Colbury House Cottage, built in the early 1800s, has been the family home for its present owner for the past twenty five years. It has been enhanced and updated to embrace the requirements of modern day living but, with its lofty ceilings, teamed with many of its unique Victorian features, the owner ensured that such delights have remained intact. It is, indeed, a stunning, fascinating, comfortable, family home. Its efficient galley style kitchen offers a pretty outlook which seriously enhances the task of washing or drying dishes. Other rooms provide an excellent sociable flow, with the dining room leading into the sunny conservatory and out onto an enchanting walled, courtyard, garden. This is a glorious spot on which to enjoy al fresco dining or simply relaxing after busy days.

Colbury House Cottage borders the New Forest National Park which offers a wide range of outdoor activities and a mass of beautiful woodlands. Totton town centre is less than three miles away, whilst junction 2 of the M27 motorway is also less than three miles away, providing links to the South Coast and London.

Colbury House Cottage, built in the early 1800s, has been the family home for its present owner for the past twenty five years. A stunning house which has been meticulously maintained throughout its history. It has been enhanced and updated to embrace the requirements of modern day living but, with its lofty ceilings, teamed with many of its unique Victorian features, the owner ensured that such delights have remained intact. It is, indeed, a stunning, fascinating, comfortable, family home. Its efficient galley style kitchen does offer a breathtaking outlook which seriously enhances the task of washing or drying dishes.

Walking in the area is a dream with lots of open spaces in which to roam, with plenty of bridle paths in which to exercise horses and, also, the River Test is nearby. Although beautifully tucked away in this quiet enclave, the bustling town of Calmore is very convenient to access which is where everyday amenities are available. Romsey is also very close, and it is easy to enjoy walking to historic Broadlands. There are lots of beautiful villages and towns to visit with Bournemouth, Winchester and Southampton being also very close. Being in the New Forest also offers many opportunities to explore this exceptional area. The Isle of Wight is also an attractive place to visit, but the whole area has so much to offer. The road system is excellent as is the rail network from both Romsey and Southampton and, of course, both Bournemouth and Southampton have highly efficient airports.

Colbury House Cottage has been an exceptional family home, but it is time for another family to unpack their bags and enjoy life in this beautiful house in such an incredible location.*
