Set on a mature plot of just over a quarter of an acre, this detached three-bedroom house offers comfortable family accommodation and easy access to the New Forest National Park. The home benefits from a large triple-aspect sitting room with sliding doors to a sunny patio, a separate dining room, and a sizeable utility — practical spaces for everyday family life. The property is offered chain free and includes a garage with off-road parking.
The plot is a standout feature: a large, private rear garden with mature hedging, specimen trees, greenhouse and well-stocked borders. There is clear potential to reconfigure or extend (subject to planning) — for example by combining the kitchen and dining room to create a kitchen/family space that opens onto the garden. Nearby amenities include a village store and schools within easy reach, making this location convenient for families.
Buyers should note some important practical points. The house dates from the late 1960s–1970s and while double glazed windows were installed after 2002, the external cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation and heating is oil-fired to a boiler and radiators. There is one shower room only, so a growing family may want to add or update facilities. Council tax is described as expensive and overall accommodation is a medium footprint (approx. 958 sq ft), so expect some modernisation to align the house with current standards.
This property will suit buyers seeking a peaceful, rural setting with a generous garden and scope to add value through improvement. It is particularly attractive to families wanting outdoor space and proximity to the New Forest, or to downsizers seeking a single-storey extension potential and low local crime in an affluent area.
