Set on about 1.4 acres adjoining the Avon Water, this detached three-double-bedroom bungalow combines 1930s character with later extensions and modern upgrades. The house offers a large open-plan living/dining room with a wood-burning stove, a conservatory, raised decking and direct access to extensive, well-established gardens plus a paddock — ideal for families, gardeners or equestrian use. Solar panels installed in 2011 still benefit from the original feed-in tariff and planning permission is already in place for a further extension.
Accommodation is single-storey and practical: a generous entrance hall, open-plan family living/dining, kitchen with rear garden access, three double bedrooms (two with en suites) and a separate family shower room. Outside there is a Holmsley Oak double carport, single garage and gated shingle driveway. The setting is peaceful and secure within New Forest National Park, with low local crime and excellent mobile signal.
Buyers should note some practical limitations: the property uses electric night storage heating and mains electricity (no gas), drainage is to a private septic tank, and broadband speeds are limited (c. up to 18 Mbps). Council tax is described as quite expensive. The house has been improved over time but sits on an older build and may present further maintenance or modernisation opportunities depending on buyer expectations.
No forward chain and freehold tenure make this a straightforward purchase for buyers seeking a large, flexible single-storey home in a rural, affluent setting with scope to extend and adapt. Its riverside boundary, substantial plot and existing permissions will particularly appeal to families, hobby farmers and buyers wanting tranquillity within easy reach of local schools and New Forest attractions.
