3 bed bungalow for sale

Down Lodge Close, Alderholt, Fordingbridge SP6

A refurbished 3-bedroom detached bungalow with spacious accommodation quietly located in a small cul-de-sac close to the centre of this popular village. No forward chain.

A well presented, detached, modern bungalow quietly positioned within a small cul-de-sac close to the centre of the village. The bungalow was extended approximately 33 years ago with the addition of the dining room that is open to the well-proportioned sitting room, which combine to create excellent, light living space, and there are three well-balanced bedrooms, one of which benefits from en suite WC facilities. The bungalow has been modernised and very well maintained over the years, with a replacement kitchen and shower room fitted, replacement radiators and cosmetic redecoration throughout. Externally, there is ample driveway parking, a useful double garage and a contained rear garden that enjoys a sunny south-westerly aspect. The bungalow is being sold with the additional benefit of no onward chain.

Alderholt is a large self-contained village situated close to the Hampshire/Dorset county border. The property is positioned in a road of mixed individual homes, which is convenient for all the main facilities within the village including a Primary School and local Co-op/Post Office store, both of which are within level walking distance along Station Road. In addition, there is a popular Public House, a nursey, 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 a generous driveway supplies parking for 2-3 vehicles and leads to the attached double garage (17'8" x 17'7") with twin electric up and over doors. A personal door from the garage opens to an attached potting shed that provides access to the rear garden. There is further pedestrian access to the rear via a side gate.

The ‘in and out’ driveway is flanked by well stocked flower and shrub beds, with a gravelled display area to the side of the garage. The principal section of garden is located to the rear of the bungalow and benefits from a private, south-westerly orientation that is not overlooked. Adjoining the bungalow is a paved patio, beyond which lies an area of lawn with shrub and flower borders and the garden is enclosed by a combination of fencing and hedging.
