This detached two-double-bedroom bungalow on Talbot Drive is a calm, single-storey home well suited to downsizers or those seeking a retirement base near the coast. The lounge/dining room opens to a southerly garden via sliding patio doors, bringing good natural light to the main living space. A detached garage and resin driveway provide practical parking for several cars.
The accommodation is straightforward and liveable: entrance hall with storage, fitted galley kitchen, two double bedrooms, family bathroom and separate WC. The main bedroom benefits from a large fitted wardrobe. The property has double glazing (install date unknown) and gas central heating with boiler and radiators. There is no flooding risk and local crime levels are very low.
The bungalow offers clear scope for updating and extension subject to planning (STPP) — the kitchen and some internal fittings are dated and will benefit from modernisation. Council tax is band E (above average) which may be a consideration for budget-conscious buyers. The house is offered with no forward chain, which can speed completion.
Location is a strong selling point: close to Highcliffe village amenities, beaches and the New Forest, with Hinton Admiral station under a mile away for rail links to Bournemouth, Southampton and London. The property sits within popular local school catchments and the surrounding area is very affluent, making this a sensible choice for comfortable downsizing with future improvement potential.
