4 bedroom house

An attractive period cottage set in approximately 5 acres of garden and paddock with garaging, outbuilding and stables, standing on the semi-rural outskirts of the town.

An attractive period cottage believed to date from the mid-19th Century pleasantly located on the semi-rural outkirts of the Avonside town of Fordingbridge set in grounds of approximately 5 acres, the majority of which is level, well fenced paddock. The cottage has been well maintained during the current owner's tenure and offers well appointed accommodation that includes two principal reception rooms and a comprehensively fitted kitchen open to a generous conservatory that offers social living space. The first floor is home to three primary bedrooms, including one benefitting from en suite facilities, and a fourth bedroom/boxroom/study. Externally, there is a range of outbuildings including an excellent stable block and double garage with a large adjoining outbuilding that could serve a number of different requirements (subject to any planning permission requirements). The land lies to the north and west of the house and is sub-divided into three manageable parcels with the benefit of a separate access onto Fryern Court Road.

Fryern Court Road lies to the north of the Avonside town of Fordingbridge, a semi-rural position close to open farmland yet conveniently only a few minutes drive from the town itself. Fordingbridge (approximately 1 mile) offers a good range of local services, including shops, banks, leisure facilities and an excellent health centre. Educational needs are well served by the well respected primary and secondary schools within the town, a further primary school in the village of Breamore and Forres Sandle Manor, found on the westerly outskirts of the town.

The regional commercial and employment centres of Salisbury, Bournemouth and Southampton are within a daily commute via the local road network including the nearby A338; all supply rail links to London (Waterloo) and there are airports at the latter two. The outdoor enthusiast is blessed by the proximity of the New Forest National Park (approximately 1 1/2 miles), which provides glorious walking, riding and cycling countryside.

A 5-bar wooden gate opens to a gravelled driveway at side of the house to the rear where there is a generous parking and turning area and access to the DOUBLE GARAGE with a twin set of double wooden doors and personal door to the side.

Adjoining the garage is a useful OUTBUILDING that could serve a number of purposes including ancillary, home office or annexe accommodation (subject to any relevant planning permission/building regulation approval) and has water, power and light connected.

The driveway also provides access to the STABLE BLOCK, which comprises 3 boxes, two of which measure 3.46m x 3.49m and one measuring 2.9m x 3.49m and a Tack Room. To the northernmost side of the stables is a concrete yard area with gated access to the LAND which lies to the north and west of the house and is currently divided into 3 separate, fenced paddocks with a gated entrance onto Fryern Court Road.

The garden is located to the rear and side of the cottage and is mainly laid to lawn interspersed with mature shrubs and hedging and a pond. A patio immediately adjoins the rear of the house via the conservatory, with feature walling and steps leading up to the level garden.
