Offered with no forward chain, early viewing strongly recommended! A rare opportunity to acquire a three-bedroom semi-detached house in one of the New Forest's most sought-after villages, offered to the market in need of full modernisation and presented with considerable scope for improvement throughout. The property is within easy walking distance of the village amenities, open forest and mainline train station.
Set behind a gated entrance with an abundance of off-road parking and a substantial tandem detached garage, this semi-detached house occupies a generous plot with mature, established gardens to the front, side, and rear.
Internally, the accommodation is arranged over two floors and comprises an entrance hall, a good-sized sitting room with a fireplace, a separate kitchen with ample storage, and a rear lobby with access to a useful utility and boiler cupboard.
The family bathroom, whilst requiring complete refurbishment, is of a workable size.
Upstairs, three bedrooms are arranged off a central landing, the principal bedroom benefiting from a characterful original fireplace, and a useful built-in wardrobe/storage cupboard.
Outside
The outdoor space is one of the property's most compelling assets. The rear garden is particularly generous, extending well beyond the immediate curtilage of the house to include a detached brick-built tandem garage with an upper storage area, a greenhouse, and further open ground.
The plot offers scope that will appeal equally to keen gardeners and those assessing the property's longer-term potential, subject to the usual planning considerations.
