Southampton Road, Lyndhurst, SO43

A rare opportunity to purchase a generous detached bungalow currently arranged as four self-contained apartments run as holiday lets. The flexible accommodation can easily be returned back into a single dwelling, if preferred. These luxury apartments yield a considerable return and are a viable and successful business. All units have been fully refurbished in the last three years and maintained to a very high standard.

Situated on the edge of the village of Lyndhurst within approximately 5 minutes walking distance and directly abutting the open forest.

The train station at Ashurst is within a short drive and benefits from free parking.

The neighbouring village of Brockenhurst offers additional facilities and a mainline rail connection to London/Waterloo (approximately 90 minutes). The M27 (Junction 1) at nearby Cadnam affords easy access to both Bournemouth, Southampton, Salisbury and the M3 Motorway network.

This timber framed bungalow dated circa 1890, the accommodation now comprises four self-contained apartments, forming a highly successful holiday letting business which has been thriving for the last 20 years. The current owners are retiring, presenting a unique opportunity to either take over the reigns of the business as a going concern, or return the property to an original bungalow for family living.
