A 17th-century thatched-roof home outside Fordingbridge with a detached double garage, greenhouse and summer house is now on the market for £1.1m.

Chartwood Cottage, being marketed by Fine & Country New Forest, sits within The Marsh in Breamore, an ancient manorial green designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), and was originally built to serve as three estate workers’ cottages, before being converted into a single dwelling in 1976.
