Marl Lane, Fordingbridge, Hampshire, SP6

Located on the edge of the town, an impressive four-bedroom detached bungalow with versatile accommodation including a self-contained annexe set in approximately 1/2 acre.

Thought to have been built some time in the 1960s, The Paddocks is a spacious detached bungalow in a generous plot, occupying a quiet semi-rural location on the extreme western fringes of Fordingbridge. Offering well-proportioned accommodation many of the principal rooms enjoy a high level of natural light courtesy of the orientation. The versatile layout includes a current self-contained one-bedroom annexe - which also provides a sitting room, kitchen and bathroom - that could either be retained for its original purpose and provide an income stream, utilised for multigenerational living for an extended family or incorporated into the main body of the dwelling. The bungalow is also notable for its lovely garden plot that incorporates landscaped areas of formal garden, various decked areas for outdoor seating andentertaining and a swimming pool terrace.

The bungalow occupies an attractive semi-rural setting at the bottom end of Marl Lane, an unmade bridle way that runs in a westerly direction from the fringes of the Avonside town of Fordingbridge towards the village of Sandleheath. The position offers the convenience of proximity to the town's amenities coupled with immediate access to local footpaths and countryside in an extremely peaceful setting. Fordingbridge has a range of services for most everyday needs, including shops, a building society, an excellent medical centre, state and private sector schooling (Forres Sandle Manor is virtually on the doorstep), and sports facilities.

Communications in the area are excellent, with access to the main regional centres of Salisbury, Bournemouth and Southampton, all of which provide mainline rail links to London Waterloo. There are international airports at Bournemouth and Southampton. The outdoor enthusiast has the choice between the open heath and woodland of the New Forest National Park to the east and the rolling Downland countryside of the Cranborne Chase AONB to the west, both of which provide ideal walking, cycling and riding country. The area also hosts a number of thriving cultural events, including The Chalke Valley History Festival, the Larmer Tree Festival and Salisbury International Arts Festival.

From Marl Lane an in and out driveway to front of bungalow that supplies parking and turning for multiple vehicles. Access to attached DOUBLE GARAGE with twin up and over doors, power and light connected and personal door to Office that connects the garage to the dwelling. Within the garage is the filtration unit for the swimming pool.

The principal section of garden is located to the southerly elevation and benefits from an open aspect that ensures a high level of natural light and sunlight. The garden is laid to well maintained lawn with attractive, well stocked beds and borders, alongside which is the swimming pool terrace with a paved surround and adjoining decked area for outdoor seating and entertaining. From the sitting room there is access to a second area of decking, also for seating, entertaining or simply enjoying the lovely distant view of the New Forest.
