Large four-bedroom bungalow with stables, direct forest access and extensive parking.
Approximately 1.76 acres with paddocks, garden and grass arena
Set back down a long gated drive and sitting on about 1.76 acres, this four-bedroom detached bungalow is aimed at buyers seeking a substantial country home with genuine equestrian facilities. The property’s west-facing lounge and open-plan snug create bright, sociable living spaces, while two ensuite bedrooms and a generous master ensure comfortable family accommodation. A detached block-built outbuilding with French doors offers potential as an annex or holiday let, subject to the necessary consents.
Outdoor life is the clear strength: brick stables (configurable as three stables or two plus a tack room), a hay barn, well-fenced paddocks and a grass arena provide ready-made facilities for horses. The large rear garden leads into paddocks and direct access to Hurn Forest within a five-minute walk, with Avon Heath Forest to the rear — excellent for hacking, cycling and long walks. Extensive tarmac parking easily accommodates cars, boats or caravans.
Practical details to note: heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators, double glazing was installed before 2002, and broadband speeds are very slow — important for home working or streaming. The detached outbuilding requires planning/consents to become a lawful annex or holiday let. Council tax is described as expensive. Overall, this is a substantial, characterful property for buyers who prioritise outdoor space, privacy and equestrian use over urban connectivity.
