Fir Tree Hill, Alderholt, Fordingbridge, Dorset SP6

A spacious 5-bedroom family home discreetly located close to the centre of the village occupying a semi-elevated position along an unmade road.

A very well-presented detached home with spacious and adaptable accommodation that occupies a private location along an unmade road close to the centre of the village. The layout of the ground floor living accommodation is versatile and free-flowing with a well-balanced combination of rooms including a generous sitting room, dining room, conservatory and kitchen/breakfast room. The lower floor is complemented by an excellent range of five bedrooms on the upper floor, four of which are of double proportion and two of which have the benefit of en suite facilities. Externally, the house benefits from ample driveway parking, a pair of single garages that are integral to the house and a very pretty rear garden that enjoys a south-westerly aspect and a high level of privacy.

Alderholt is a large self-contained village situated close to the Hampshire/Dorset county border. The property is quietly located close to the top of an unmade section of gravel track close to the centre of the village, a convenient position for the principal facilities including a Primary School and local Co-op/Post Office store, both of which can be accessed via Station Road. In addition, there is a popular Public House, a nursery, Village Hall and sports ground. The Primary School feeds into the middle and upper schooling of Cranborne and Wimborne, whilst the Avonside town of Fordingbridge provides a greater range of shops, health and recreational facilities.

The nearby road network gives easy access to the larger commercial and employment centres of Ringwood, Salisbury, Bournemouth and Southampton where main line rail links and, latterly, airports, can be found. Around the area there is a network of footpaths and Ringwood Forest providing local walking, riding and cycling opportunities, whilst The New Forest is approximately 3 miles to the east.

To the front of the property is a generous driveway that offers sufficient parking for 2 - 3 vehicles and access to the integral twin single garages, both with double doors, power and light connected. There is pedestrian access to the rear garden via a side access pathway.

The delightful rear garden enjoys a south-westerly orientation and benefits from a high degree of privacy. Immediately adjoining the rear of the house is a lovely patio area, perfect for alFresco dining, entertaining and relaxing. Beyond the patio is a central expanse of manicured lawn with well-stocked, colourful shrub and flower borders that provide seasonal interest and colour for the keen gardener.
