A roomy three-bedroom detached character home set on a large plot at the edge of the New Forest National Park. The property’s heart is a spacious, triple-aspect kitchen/family/dining room with engineered oak floors, quality worktops and integrated appliances; bi-fold doors open from the sitting room onto a west-facing rear garden that catches afternoon sun. Practical features include excellent off-street parking, a powered workshop and plentiful garden storage.
The house blends original character — exposed beams, feature fireplaces and leadlight windows — with recent upgrades such as a refurbished shower room and underfloor heating in the sitting room. There is planning permission in place to add a first-floor extension to create a fourth bedroom, offering straightforward scope to increase living space or future resale value. Its location is family-friendly, within walking distance of well-rated primary schools, recreation grounds, a local shop and quick access to Ashurst station and forest walks.
Buyers should note a few material points: council tax is above average and local recorded crime is higher than typical for the area. Broadband to the property is currently very slow, although a new fibre connection has been installed nearby and should become available in the coming months. The exterior shows mid-20th-century pebble-dash and will benefit from cosmetic refresh in places.
Overall this freehold house will suit families or buyers seeking character, generous outdoor space and clear potential to enlarge. It offers a comfortable ready-to-live-in core with visible opportunities to modernise or extend to match changing needs.
