Blossom Cottage sits on Lodge Hill in Newtown, a small hamlet within the South Downs National Park and on the edge of the Forest of Bere. Within the immediate area is a well regarded primary school and the Meon Valley villages of Wickham and Soberton are within easy reach, providing essential day to day amenities.

The cottage benefits from a wide plot and the owners have taken full advantage of this with an extension to the side dramatically improving the accommodation with a stylish first floor with dormer windows above the very large garage and a door providing a secure, covered access through to the rear at ground floor level. The gardens extend to nearly half an acre and are divided into three areas including a south facing garden with paved terrace, summerhouse and a variety of shrubs; leading onto an orchard and lawn; and culminating in a paddock with stabling.

The entrance door at the front of the cottage opens directly into the sitting room and for this reason, the current owners use the side door which opens into a spacious and wonderfully light entrance hall. The sitting room has an open fire and the kitchen at the rear is open plan to the dining room. The kitchen has a range cooker and tiled floor and natural light floods in through the full height windows and glazed door to the garden in the dining room. There is also a ground floor shower room and utility.

Stairs from the hall rise to the first floor where the master bedroom has excellent fitted storage and a smart bathroom. Three further bedrooms all accommodate a double bed and share a family shower room. The first floor rooms all have lovely views over gardens and countryside.
