An extremely spacious Colt bungalow standing in generous gardens of approximately 2/3 acre bordering the pretty Allen River with an open outlook to the front and back over neighbouring farmland. Amounting to approximately 2,000 sq. ft. the bungalow offers well proportioned rooms that enjoy a high level of natural light and many of the principal living rooms and bedroom are blessed with an open aspect towards the scenic neighbouring farmland. The property is also notable for the array of useful outbuildings, including a double garage, car barn with adjoining store and workshop and 'The Holt', which provides ancillary use to the main dwelling that could serve a number of requirements. Within the garden is an attractive swimming pool terrace and the property is being sold with the advantage of NO ONWARD CHAIN.
The bungalow is located on the northern outskirts of the village with scenic, open views of outlying farmland to the front and rear. The picturesque Hampshire village of Damerham is highly sought-after and falls within the Cranborne Chase National Landscape where the surrounding countryside is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village provides a superb Primary School (Western Downland), a Church, an active village hall and popular Public House. The near-by Avonside town of Fordingbridge (about 4 miles) caters for most everyday needs, including a range of independent shops, well respected Primary and Secondary schooling, a cinema, library, building society, health and medical centre and sporting facilities.
Communications in the area are good, with the regional centres of Salisbury, Bournemouth, Poole and Southampton all within convenient driving distance. All can provide mainline rail links to London Waterloo. Damerham is well placed for those wishing to enjoy the area on foot, wheel or in the saddle. A number of bridleways and footpaths exist in and around Damerham itself, whilst the New Forest, with it's thousands of acres of walking and riding countryside, lies about 7 miles to the East.
A five bar wooden gate opens to a generous driveway that continues to the front and side of the bungalow, leading to both the DOUBLE GARAGE and CAR BARN and supplying ample parking and turning space for a number of vehicles. Pedestrian access to the rear gardens from either side of the bungalow.
The bungalow sits to the front of a substantial garden plot extending to approximately 2/3 acre, which is primarily laid to lawn and which enjoys lovely open views of neighbouring farmland to the rear, where the garden adjoins the Allen River. Accessed from the conservatory and all bedrooms is a spacious patio and swimming pool terrace, the ideal spot for relaxing, entertaining and al fresco dining. We understand that the swimming pool has recently been re-lined.
