A pretty semi detached cottage set in a highly desirable lane within moments of the open forest at Pikes Hill whilst still within walking distance of the local amenities of Lyndhurst.

The cottage has been a successful tenanted property for many years and is available for the first time for over 25 years. The property would now benefit from a full programme of refurbishment and is available with No Onward Chain.

Pikes Hill Avenue is renowned as one of Lyndhurst’s most prestigious addresses, being located in the very heart of New Forest National Park, just a short distance from the open forest. Lyndhurst High Street (0.7 miles) offers a diverse range of general and specialist shops, together with a popular primary school, historic church and visitor centre. The neighbouring village of Brockenhurst offers additional facilities and a mainline rail connection to London/Waterloo (approximately 90 minutes). For the yachtsman, the Georgian market town of Lymington (10 miles) offers a range of sailing facilities and access to the open waters of the Solent, whilst the historic and much famed village of Beaulieu is only 7 miles away. The M27 (Junction 1) at nearby Cadnam affords easy access to both Bournemouth, Southampton, Salisbury and the M3 Motorway network.

Steps lead up from the drive through a cottage front garden up to the main entrance set under a covered storm porch. A door leads into the sitting room with open stairs leading up the first floor. A fireplace with inset woodburning stove is a central feature of the sitting room with dual aspect windows providing for lots of light.

The kitchen is adjoining and benefits from quarry tiles and exposed brick chimney breast with an inset range cooker. Kitchen units are set under coordinating worksurfaces with an inset sink unit and space for appliances and a dining area. Dual aspect windows overlook the side and rear of the property.

The first floor landing offers access to two double bedrooms with supporting bathroom housing both a bath and shower cubicle. Stairs lead from a dressing room/study area up to the loft bedroom with large velux window.

The front garden is raised with a sloping lawn and steps lead up to a covered storm porch. The driveway, accessed via a five bar gate, runs alongside the property providing off street parking and leading up to the rear of the property and garden.
