DESCRIPTION AND CONSTRUCTION:
195 Christchurch Road was originally built by the New Forest District Council, in the 1950’s to traditional standards with brick facing elevations under a tiled roof. The property has been owned by the same family for over 30 years during which time the property has been maintained to a good standard, with has the benefit of gas central heating and double glazing, plus there is no onward chain.

One of the significant features of the property is the large garden, on the eastern side of the property, which totals 0.13 of an acre. There is potential for the possibility of either a separate dwelling or a building which could be utilised as a home office or studio within the rear garden. The existing property could also be extended subject to the usual consents.

The current family, who own the property, have paid the New Forest District Council an annual license fee, for the past 30 years, which provides them with vehicular access across the NFDC owned side driveway into the rear garden. The current license fee is renewable for a 3 year term and was most recently renewed in October 2023 for a 3 year term. The vendors inform us that this license is transferable to a new owner.
