4 bedroom house

A substantial period semi-detached family house of approximately 2,700 sq. ft. prominently positioned in the heart of the village with a private garden of 0.5 acre and an array of useful outbuildings that could serve alternate use (subject to relevant planning permission).

Parkfield is an impressive house offering large, family accommodation, with origins reputedly dating to the 15th Century, that evolved throughout the Georgian and Victorian periods, thereby creating the substantial home of today. The house sits to the front of a large and private garden plot extending to approximately 0.5 acre. A number of single and two storey outbuildings serve as workshops/stores, although could offer alternate use, subject to securing any relevant planning and conservation permission. The period roots of the house are evidenced by the wealth of exposed beams and deep recessed bread oven in the sitting room, whilst there is a second sitting room at the front of the house. A study/TV room and large office complete the array of versatile living rooms, which are complemented by a generous kitchen/dining room, and there is notably generous storage provided by a large pantry cupboard. The first-floor is home to four sizeable bedrooms, two of which benefit from en suite facilities with 2 power showers and one electric shower.

Parkfield is located in the centre of Damerham, a tranquil village community tucked just inside the Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Damerham is home to a reputable primary school (Western Downland), which is within walking distance, a Village Hall, Church and Public House. The near-by Avonside town of Fordingbridge (about 4 miles) caters for most everyday needs, including a range of shops, a medical centre, an Infants & Junior School and Burgate Secondary & Sixth Form, 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 and there are international airports at Bournemouth and Southampton. The village is well placed for those wishing to enjoy the area on foot, wheel or in the saddle; a number of bridle ways and footpaths exist in and around Damerham itself, whilst the New Forest National Park, with its thousands of acres of walking and riding countryside, lies about 7 miles to the East.

A wide gate opens to a gravelled driveway thats runs to the side of the house and continues to the rear of the property, providing plentiful parking and turning space for numerous vehicles.

The garden is located mainly to the rear of the house and benefits from a south-easterly orientation. A patio adjoins the rear of the house which can be accessed from the kitchen/dining room, beyond which is a large expanse of lawn that runs away from the house and is interspersed with a series of mature trees. Towards the far end of the garden is an attractive wildlife pond and the garden overlooks the village cricket pitch and adoining paddock, of which there are lovely views.
