4 bed country house for sale

West Park Lane, Damerham, Fordingbridge, Hampshire SP6

A very well presented 4-bedroom detached home located on the edge of sought-after Damerham with a superb farmland outlook.

As the name suggets, The Old Police House formerly served as the village police house from the early 1950s until it was later converted some years ago into a private residence. The house is quietly located on the edge of the village with a stunning open vista over neighbouring farmland at the rear. During their time in residence the current owners have implemented a number of changes and improvements and the well-proportioned accommodation is presented in lovely condition throughout, with a good balance between versatile living rooms, a beautifully appointed modern fitted kitchen and generous bedrooms. The mature gardens offer a degree of privacy and enjoys the delightful outlook over open farmland, with ample off road parking and a single garage to the front.

The Old Police House is located towards the far end of West Park Lane in the picturesque Hampshire village of Damerham, within the Cranborne Chase National Landscape. The village provides a superb primary school (Western Downland) which is within walking distance, a Church, a well-utilised village hall and popular public house, whilst the near-by Avonside town of Fordingbridge (about 4 miles) caters for most everyday needs, including a range of independent shops, well respected primary and secondary schooling, a health centre and sporting facilities.

Communications in the area are good, with the regional centres of Salisbury, Bournemouth, Poole and Southampton all within convenient driving distance. All can provide mainline rail links to London Waterloo. Damerham is well placed for those wishing to enjoy the area on foot, wheel or in the saddle. A number of bridleways and footpaths exist in and around Damerham itself, whilst the New Forest, with it's thousands of acres of walking and riding countryside, lies about 7 miles to the East.
