Pauls Lane, Sway, Hampshire, SO41

This charming three-bedroom chalet-style home occupies a generous plot of approximately one third of an acre and enjoys forest rights. Situated in a peaceful semi-rural setting with open views across neighbouring paddocks, the property was built in 2008, also benefits from a detached double-length garage and a delightful, large, well-tended garden with a range of outbuildings. No forward chain.

Approached via a brick-paved path flanked by lawn and mature borders, the house welcomes you under an attractive oak-framed porch. Once inside, the entrance hall sets the tone with a practical layout, providing access to the ground floor rooms and staircase to the first floor.

To the left, the living room feels cosy yet spacious, with an open brick fireplace as a focal point. A large bow window looks out to the front, with additional natural light coming in through a side window. From here, double doors open into a conservatory at the rear, providing a relaxing spot to enjoy views of the garden throughout the year. The conservatory leads directly out to a paved patio, perfect for outdoor dining.

The kitchen and dining area is well appointed with a good range of modern units and workspace, including space for a dishwasher, cooker, and fridge freezer. A stable door provides access to the garden and a connecting door returns you to the hall. Just off the kitchen is a small rear lobby leading to a shower / WC wet room, offering practical flexibility on the ground floor.

Also on this level is a comfortable third bedroom with a built-in wardrobe and front-facing bow window. With its proximity to the wet room, there’s potential to adapt this space into a guest suite or ground floor accommodation for multigenerational living.

Upstairs, the landing features a Velux window and serves two further double bedrooms. The main bedroom enjoys a pleasant dual aspect with views to both front and rear, along with extensive fitted wardrobes and access to eaves storage. The second bedroom is also a generous size, with storage space. A modern bathroom with jacuzzi-style bath and overhead shower completes the accommodation.

Outside, the mature rear garden offers a mix of lawn, patio, and planting beds. It extends to include a series of useful outbuildings, including a greenhouse, polytunnel and storage sheds. The double-length detached garage is equipped with power, light and water, with windows and a side door providing access directly into the garden.

This appealing home offers a rare combination of a rural setting, flexible living space and scope for further personalisation, all set within a generous, private plot and surrounded by nature.
