5 bedroom house

Located within the sought after hamlet of Bickton on the edge of the New Forest National Park, a versatile detached chalet-style house incorporating an annexe set in grounds approaching 0.6 acre.

A spacious detached family home well sited in mature grounds approaching 0.6 acre offering flexible accommodation that includes an annexe. The rooms are uniformly well-proportioned and many benefit from a sense of natural light courtesy of a southerly aspect and outlook over the delightful garden. The house has historically been extended and now offers the flexibility of an independent annexe if required, a potential income stream or accommodation that could be incorporated into the main body of the house as further living space. One of many highlights is the attractive, south-facing garden within which stands a useful stable/workshop and workshop/office.

Corvedale is located in the delightful rural hamlet of Bickton, a short distance from the boundary of the New Forest National Park and within the heart of the Avon Valley. The former market town of Fordingbridge lies approximately 1 mile to the North and offers a good range of everyday services, including independent shops, a building society, a library, an excellent health centre as well as highly regarded state primary and secondary schools, supplemented by Forres Sandle Manor and Moyles Court in the private sector.

The larger commercial centres of Ringwood, Bournemouth and Salisbury are all accessible via the A338, whilst the B3078 from Fordingbridge skirts the top of the forest and provides ready access to Junction 1 of the M27 for Southampton and beyond. Those enjoying outdoor pursuits are given ample opportunity for walking, riding and cycling in the surrounding countryside and New Forest, whilst there is a choice of local golf and angling clubs.

The house is approached over a generous gravelled frontage that offers ample parking and turning space and leads to an attached double CAR PORT. There is access to the principal entrance and a separate entrance to ‘Garden Cottage’ via a pedestrian gate inset to picket fencing. From the road there is a further gated access point to a fenced off track that flanks the western side of the house and runs to the small orchard area.

The delightful garden lies principally to the south of the house. An extensive patio runs virtually the full width of the house, an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining and relaxing that can be accessed from various points within. Beyond the patio is a sizeable expanse of level lawn that is flanked by colourful, well stocked established beds. To the eastern side of the garden is a well stocked fruit cage, a greenhouse, ornamental pond and further lawn that continues to the front corner where a private, fenced area of garden is provided for 'Garden Cottage'. Beyond the principal garden to the south and well screened by mature hedging is a STABLE BLOCK, currently employed as a workshop, and a further WORKSHOP/STORE that could offer potential for office use (stpp or regulation approval).

Beyond the outbuildings is a small orchard area planted with a series of maturing trees that adjoins a neighbouring paddock.
