4 bedroom bungalow

A spacious detached 4-bedroom bungalow requiring modernisation in a mature garden plot of almost 0.2 acre, quietly located in a non-estate position close to the centre of the village. NO ONWARD CHAIN.

Having historically served as a Bed & Breakfast, a spacious, well laid out detached bungalow situated in a quiet non-estate location accessed via an unmade road close to the centre of the sought after village of Alderholt. The bungalow offers versatile, 4-bedroom accommodation with a choice of reception rooms and a large kitchen/breakfast room and, whilst it has been comfortably maintained, would benefit from updating and modernisation throughout. A notable feature of the property is the attractive established garden that totals approximately 0.2 acre and which offers a high degree of privacy. The bungalow is being sold with the benefit of no forward chain.

Alderholt is a large, self-contained village on the Hampshire/Dorset border. The bungalow is privately located towards the upper end of an unmade road close to the centre of the village but remains convenient for the main facilities, which include a primary school and local Co-op shop/Post Office. Further amenities extend to a popular public house, part-time Doctor's surgery, village hall, churches and a sports ground. The primary school feeds into the middle and upper schooling at Cranborne and Wimborne, whilst the Avonside town of Fordingbridge provides a greater range of shops, health and recreational facilities. The local road network provides ready access to the regional centres of Salisbury, Bournemouth and Southampton, where there are mainline rail links and airports at the latter two. The outdoor enthusiast is well catered for, with a network of footpaths providing local walking, riding and cycling opportunities, whilst the New Forest is approximately 3 miles to the East.

To the front and side of the bungalow is a driveway with parking for 2 - 3 cars leading to the GARAGE 17'1" x 9'1" with up and over door and personal door to the rear garden. Attached to the rear of the garage is a useful WORKSHOP/POTENTIAL OFFICE (stpp if required) 10'10" x 9'1" and there is a secondary vehicular access point running to the other side of the bungalow.

The front garden is laid to lawn with flower and shrub beds and a mature hedge marking the front boundary. The lawn continues to the side and rear of the bungalow on a shallow gradient and is interspersed with a series of well stocked beds and two ornamental ponds and paved seating areas. Steps lead up to the rear of the bungalow where there is a further paved seating area and access to the conservatory, beneath which is a 'cellar' for storage. The garden as a whole is enclosed by a combination of mature hedging and fencing.
