  • A charming, ground-floor apartment set within a former miller’s cottage in rural Hampshire
  • Return from long walks through the scenic New Forest to relax in the cosy, beamed lounge
  • Stroll through the shared garden in the old mill grounds and sit by the river on summer days
Property code: OC-M32228

Tucked away within the grounds of a working mill, this ground-floor apartment is set within a building bursting with rustic character and offers a peaceful escape for couples and their tail-wagging travel buddy. Once the home of the miller, this lovingly converted hideaway now invites you and your canine companion to unwind in leafy Hampshire countryside, with access to shared gardens along the river for waterside walkies.

Inside, the beamed oak ceilings throughout lend a warm, rustic feel, while the well-equipped kitchen/diner is the perfect place to rustle up meals with local produce. In the lounge, country house-style furnishings and a brick inglenook fireplace add charm, while the Smart TV provides easy entertainment while your furry friend snoozes at your feet. At the end of the day, retreat to the comfortable double bedroom, complete with an en-suite bathroom. Outside, enjoy shared access to the beautifully maintained gardens, where you and your pawsome pal can amble along the riverside paths. The mill gardens and riverside setting are open to the public in high season for cream teas and fishing, creating a wonderfully sociable, rural atmosphere. Private, off-road parking is available for one car just opposite the apartment.

With the New Forest 3 miles away and the picturesque trails of the Cranborne Chase National Landscape starting half a mile from your door, there's no shortage of scenic walks for you and your faithful four-pawed friend. And for those looking to venture further afield, the coast at Bournemouth is 17 miles away – ideal for sandy paws and salty air. Head inland to explore the parkland of the National Trust’s Kingston Lacy (17.5 miles), set in the beautiful Dorset countryside, where history hounds on the lead are welcome to join you.

The cottage is very quaint, but be careful of the road as cottage is situated on a bend. Lovely secret garden, accessed via the bedroom. As I said quaint.

Exactly how you would expect an old mill to be, low ceilings and old exposed beams. Lovely setting and friendly owners.
