2 bed semi-detached house for sale

Ashford Road, Fordingbridge, Hampshire SP6

A charming 2-bedroom Victorian semi-detached cottage with a useful outbuilding providing ancillary accommodation located in a peaceful semi-rural position on the edge of the town.

The property is believed to date back to Victorian times and occupies a semi-elevated position overlooking water meadows in a quiet semi-rural location on the very edge of the town. With accommodation set over two floors, the current Vendor has recently implemented a series of improvements and modifications to the property, to include a replacement kitchen and bathroom, some internal re-plastering, a degree of internal re-decoration and conversion of a detached garage/store into ancillary accommodation that could serve as office or studio space. An entrance hall leads to all principal ground floor rooms including the current dining room and ground floor double-bedroom; beyond the dining room is a large conservatory that enjoys a fine southerly outlook over the garden and water meadows beyond. The first floor is home to a futher double bedroom. Externally, the south-facing gardens are a particular feature of the property, with a full-width terrace leading down to a private lawned garden with shrubs and a well-stocked vegetable garden.

Ashford Road sits approximately 1/2 mile to the West of Fordingbridge town centre, within easy reach of the town yet equally convenient for access to the local countryside, including a public footpath on Ashford Road. The former market town of Fordingbridge is situated on the banks of the River Avon and the town offers a range of day to day facilities, including reputable schooling at Fordingbridge Infants & Junior School and Burgate Secondary School & Sixth Form, doctors' and dentists' surgeries, a library and a selection of shops. There is also a number of clubs and societies, including a variety of sports, in the immediate locality.

The local road network supplies convenient access access to the Cathedral city of Salisbury, Bournemouth and Southampton. There are international airports at the latter two and mainline rail links to London (Waterloo) from all three. The outdoor enthusiast is well served by the town's proximity to the New Forest, where there are myriad walking, cycling and riding opportunities amongst the thousands of acres of moor, heath and woodland.

The property is approached via a gravel track that culminates in a parking area with a pedestrian gate providing access to a pathway leading through the garden to the property. The attractive garden is private and enjoys a lovely, southerly outlook towards neighbouring water meadows and countryside. The garden is primarily laid to lawn with mature trees and shrubs and a flourishing vegetable garden and greenhouse towards the lower end. A gravel path leads to two sets of steps that rise to a wide terrace that runs the width of the property and the conservatory.

Within the garden is a useful detached outbuilding that supplies additional accommodation and could be used as office/studio/ancillary space if required.
