The property is presented to a high standard including a kitchen from Neptune, with accommodation in excess of 2000 sqft set over three floors and a newly built garage to the front with ample off street parking.

Street. The village offers a diverse range of general and specialist shops, together with a popular primary school, historic church and visitor centre.

Located in this quiet backwater, 24 Princes Crescent is situated within a short walk of the open New Forest.

The M27 (Junction 1) at nearby Cadnam affords easy access to both Bournemouth, Southampton, Salisbury and the M3 Motorway network.

Believed to have been built in 1900, the property has been enlarged and undergone an extensive programme of sympathetic improvements in recent times, whilst retaining many of the original character features. A covered porch with a partly glazed front door opens into the hall with oak flooring throughout and original pine doors leading to all the principal ground floor accommodation. The beautifully appointed sitting room features attractive coving and large bay window overlooking the south facing front garden.

The stunning kitchen/dining room has been enlarged and refurbished to provide a perfect space for family living and entertaining. The kitchen area is comprehensively fitted with a stylish range of 'Neptune' wall and base level cupboards with built-in larder unit, polished quartz worksurfaces, a breakfast bar, oak flooring and a range cooker with extractor unit over and double Belfast sink. There is also further space available for an American style fridge/freezer and a dishwasher. From the kitchen, aluminium bi-fold doors open onto an outdoor terrace and rear garden. Set off the kitchen/dining room is a separate utility area with built in cupboards and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. From here, a door leads to the cloakroom and double doors lead out to the attractive rear garden.

From the hallway, a stairwell ascends to the first floor part galleried landing with doors leading to the bedroom and bathroom accommodation. The principal bedroom is a light and spacious room with two large windows overlooking the front aspect. There are two further double bedrooms to this level, as well as a separate w/c and family bathroom with roll-top bath, overhead shower and pedestal wash hand basin. The useful airing cupboard provides ample space for linen.

A turning flight of stairs ascend to the second floor landing area providing access to bedroom four with en-suite shower room on one side and a separate dressing area/occasional bedroom to the other. This bedroom features a window overlooking the front aspect, as well as two Velux roof windows.
