4 bedroom detached house for sale

A beautifully presented family home with spacious 4-bedroom accommodation located in a popular and sought after village.

Tucked just inside the New Forest National Park, an attractive detached family home of traditional red brick elevation set in delightful, landscaped gardens and with the advantage of a spacious double garage with a useful store/home office over. The original property is believed to date back to the mid- to late-1800s and formerly was owned by the Longford Estate. The house has been subsequently enlarged into the adaptable family home of today and offers generous, well-proportioned accommodation throughout that benefits from a high level of natural light. The current owners have tastefully modernised and improved the house during their time in residence and there is an excellent balance between three versatile reception rooms and the four bedrooms, with the generous principal bedroom benefitting from en suite facilities.

The property is quietly situated on the edge of the desirable village Redlynch and is tucked just inside the uppermost north western boundary of the New Forest National Park. Redlynch and the surrounding communities have facilities for day to day needs, including the nearby Kings Head public house, the Woodfalls Inn, a pre-school, a village shop in Woodfalls and a primary school in Morgans Vale. The neighbouring village of Downton provides a range of further facilities including primary and secondary schooling, shops, a library, medical and health facilities, a cafe and selection of public houses.

Redlynch lies equidistant between the Avonside town of Fordingbridge and Cathedral City of Salisbury, the latter home to extensive educational, recreational, leisure and shopping facilities which combine with a twice weekly market. There is a mainline railway station with regular services to London Waterloo and the area is convenient for access onto the A36/M27 and the M3 and there is a regular bus service from the village to Salisbury and the local secondary schools.

Excellent walking, riding and cycling is found in the surrounding countryside and New Forest and there is a selection of golf courses nearby including Hamptworth. Sailing opportunities abound on the South Coast and Spinnaker Lake in Blashford.

A set of wooden gates open to a gravelled driveway that passes the front of the house and continues to the side where there is parking for 2 - 3 cars and access to the attached DOUBLE GARAGE with up and over doors and power and light connected.

The beautiful garden is located to the rear of the house and has been landscaped by the current owners to incorporate a central expanse of well-tended lawn bound by a well-stocked, colourful borders.
