An exceptional opportunity to make this beautifully presented New Forest cottage your own, a residence steeped in history and thoughtfully modernised while preserving its original charm, dating back to the late 1700s. Suters Cottage, gracing one of the most idyllic forest locations, offers sweeping views of the surrounding countryside and is set amidst approximately 8.5 acres of magnificent grounds and gardens.
As you step inside the property through the entrance hall, you‘ll find access to all the principal rooms on the ground floor, with a staircase leading up to the first floor.

Adjacent to this is the garden room, offering access to the rear garden through French doors. Continuing on, you can access the dining room, which flows seamlessly into the kitchen. The kitchen is fully equipped with both high and low-level units, with slate flooring adding a touch of rustic elegance.
On this level, there‘s also a ground floor bedroom, which could alternatively serve as a study or an additional reception room, and a convenient downstairs cloakroom. Ascending to the first floor, you‘ll discover three more generously proportioned double bedrooms, each offering splendid views of the surrounding countryside. A family bathroom and a separate shower room complete this level. Additionally, the property includes a detached one/two bedroom annexe. This versatile space can serve as a guest cottage, an artist‘s studio, or a private retreat, offering various possibilities to suit your needs.
The property is approached via a sweeping private driveway, featuring a five-bar timber gate that opens to a courtyard, providing ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles. The property boasts a range of outbuildings, including a carport. Equestrian enthusiasts will appreciate the stable yard with three loose boxes and direct forest access for endless riding adventures.

What Other Related Technologies Does PropertyHeads Use, and Why?
Tracking Pixels: Our advertising partners may use tracking pixels or similar technology to measure the success of the sponsored posts or other advertising products they use. A “tracking pixel” (also sometimes called web beacon, or clear GIF) is a tiny piece of code, invisible to the user, placed on a webpage or in an email and used in combination with a cookie, to link a given activity or impression back to the user; the advertiser includes it in its content so it can measure whether our members interact with that content (for example, by clicking to view an offer). We may set our own tracking pixel on an advertiser’s website so we can measure whether our members found the advertiser’s content effective or interesting, by tracking whether the sponsored post prompted members to take advantage of the advertised offer. This information helps us assess whether sponsored posts and other advertising offers are relevant and interesting to our members and successful for the advertiser.
