3 bedroom detached house for sale

A versatile 2-bedroom modern house with separate 1-bedroom ancillary accommodation and a lovely southerly outlook over grazing land. NO ONWARD CHAIN.

Believed to have been built in the 1980s with later additions, Westward is an attractive house well-situated mid-way along the village High Street, within walking distance of the open
forest, the Common and village amenities. The internal accommodation is well proportioned and versatile in equal measure and achieves a good balance between living rooms and bedrooms, with the further benefit of a separate bedroom and shower room forming part of what was an original double garage, which could serve a number of different requirements, such an ancillary accommodation for a family member. There is a very useful, accessible room over the bedroom and remaining store, that again could be further incorporated or adapted, subject to any planning permissions. Whilst
the house has been comfortably maintained it would now benefit from a degree of cosmetic improvement and refurbishment, an opportunity for an incoming purchaser to place their own stamp on the property. The enclosed rear garden is an attractive feature of the property and enjoys a lovely outlook over adjoining meadow and the house is being sold with no forward chain.

The property is located on the quiet High Street of the sought-after village of Woodgreen located in the uppermost Western corner of the New Forest, within the Western Escarpement Conservation Area of the New Forest National Park. The village has a thriving community centred around a popular public house, a well-stocked community run shop and picturesque village Common, which is home to the village cricket team as well as the ponies, donkeys and cattle that freely roam the forest, all of which is within walking distance. The neighbouring village of Hale has a reputable primary school and the Avonside town of Fordingbridge (about 4 miles) has a range of services sufficient to cater for most everyday needs, including independent shops, cafes, excellent primary and secondary schools, sports and medical facilities.

For those seeking a balance between a 'work-from-home' and office-based environment, communications in the area are excellent. The local road network, including the A338 and A36, draws the regional centres of Salisbury, Bournemouth and Southampton within striking distance. There are mainline rail services from Salisbury and Southampton Parkway (90 minutes and 71 minutes respectively) to London Waterloo and international airports at Southampton and Bournemouth.

Outdoor enthusiasts will undoubtedly be satisfied by the wonderful location and Woodgreen Common is close by, providing access to glorious walking, riding and cycling country. There is a choice of local golf and angling clubs in the vicinity and sailing opportunities abound on the South Coast and at Spinnaker Sailing Club at Blashford Lakes, near Ringwood.

A 5-bar wooden gate opens to a driveway to the front and side of the property, supplying parking for two vehicles and leading to the house and remaining garage. There is side access to the rear via a pedestrian gate.

The garden is located wholly to the rear of the house and enjoys a southerly orientation with a lovely outlook over surrounding grazing land and meadow.
