Description
The Property - A rare chance to obtain a delightful and distinctive cottage, built in a traditional style with a mix of brick, roughcast render, and tile-hung facades beneath a largely tiled roof. The property is well-maintained but presents options for modernisation or expansion (subject to planning approval) if desired.
The ground floor includes a utility room furnished with base cupboards, laminate work surfaces, and a stainless steel sink. The kitchen/breakfast room is equipped with various base cupboards, drawers, and wall units. It features laminate work surfaces, a stainless steel sink, and designated areas for an under-counter fridge and freezer, as well as a cooker. The sitting room is a dual-aspect space with French doors that lead to the garden. It includes a brick fireplace with a wood-burning stove, alcove shelving, and a radiator. The rear lobby grants access to the garden and contains a wall-mounted gas-fired boiler. There is a spacious study that could potentially serve as a fourth bedroom. The downstairs shower room is fitted with a walk-in shower enclosure featuring an electric shower, a pedestal washbasin, and a WC.
The hall features tiled and timber flooring, with stairs leading to the first floor landing. The first floor comprises three generously sized bedrooms, with the master bedroom having an en-suite and two others showcasing Victorian cast iron fireplaces.
Outside - The property is adjacent to Marl Lane along its northern boundary, with the possibility (pending planning approval) of creating a driveway from Marl Lane. The front and back gardens are mainly composed of lawn, encircled by established hedges that provide a considerable degree of privacy.
Situation - Sandleheath provides an attractive village environment featuring a local shop, a community hall, and a vibrant tennis club. Everyday needs are met in the nearby market town of Fordingbridge, while the New Forest National Park serves as a recreational haven for outdoor enthusiasts, offering activities such as horse riding, sailing, and golfing at several prestigious courses.
For those requiring connectivity, the transport links are exceptional. Ringwood is located just 9 miles away, boasting premier shopping options at the Furlong Shopping Centre, and both Bournemouth and Southampton Airports are conveniently accessible. Salisbury offers a direct train service to London Waterloo, and the nearby M27 and M3 ensure straightforward road access.
