SELLERS INSIGHT:- ''Sunlight streaming into the cottage is one of the many delights of living in Badger's Walk. The kitchen dining area is flooded with early morning sun from the east and in the late afternoon, the sunset colours fill the sitting room through the two west facing windows.
Watching a full moon rise through the trees and going into the garden to see it picking up the colours on the summer flowers is a joy.

With it's traditional design and choice of materials and fittings Badger's Walk extends a welcoming feeling from the moment you enter the five bar gate to when you pass through the handmade oak door into the cottage. It feels light and airy yet cosy at the same time.

The traditional brick and tiled surround to the Clearview wood burning stove, the handmade wooden doors and the solid oak beam above the kitchen table belie the age of the cottage which was built in 2005. The date is carved into the oak beam in Roman numerals.

Being able to circulate through the downstairs rooms gives the cottage ease, particularly when entertaining friends, and whilst there is full head height in all rooms, the skeilings upstairs add an air of intimacy.

Being able to walk through the holly and beech arch directly into the woods and then down to the mill stream where the Cuckoo calls each spring is a joy and many of the birds that sing in the woods regularly visit the garden, with Long tailed Tits and Goldcrest coming close up to the windows.

Two pairs of binoculars are always to hand to watch not only the birds but the deer which frequently pass along the boundary or lie quietly under the trees at the bottom of the garden.
Major supermarkets in both Ringwood and Lymington are close by, but our village shop "Shappen Stores" has a remarkable range and comes up trumps on nearly every occasion.
Badger's walk has never failed to feel like home.''
