This three-bedroom semi-detached house in Ashurst sits on a decent plot close to the New Forest National Park, ideal for families seeking outdoor life and good local schools. The property offers two reception rooms, off-street parking on a block-paved driveway and a private rear garden with mature fruit trees and a patio.
The house retains period character from its 1930s-1940s build and benefits from double glazing (installed post-2002) and gas central heating via a combi boiler. The layout is traditional with a separate kitchen, ground-floor bathroom plus a separate WC, and useful storage including built-in wardrobes and an airing cupboard.
Significant renovation is required: the property is presented to a standard needing modernisation, and the cavity walls are recorded as having no insulation (assumed). Buyers should factor in upgrade costs for cosmetic works, possible insulation improvements and modern heating/energy efficiency measures to unlock value.
Practical advantages include freehold tenure, no flood risk, low local crime and convenient transport links. Broadband and mobile signals are adequate for home working (mobile excellent; broadband average to super-fast up to 80 Mbps in the area). Council Tax Band D applies.
