2 bed terraced house for sale

Pikes Hill, Lyndhurst SO43

A charming period terraced cottage situated on this highly desirable road, within moments of the village centre and also close to the open forest at the top of the hill. The cottage retains many period features, including a wood-burning stove, high ceilings, and large windows with elevated southerly views to the front. The accommodation offers two reception rooms and two generous bedrooms, with a first-floor bathroom and scope to convert the loft (STP) to create a third bedroom if required.

Further benefits include courtyard gardens to both the front and rear, as well as on-street parking.

The property is located in the highly sought after Pikes Hill Avenue and is accessed via a short track leading off the road. Lyndhurst, situated in the heart of the New Forest National Park, provides an excellent range of amenities and facilities including a range of boutique shops and everyday stores, public houses, restaurants, hotels and a well regarded primary school. Southampton, by road, is about 8 1/2 miles distant and there are mainline rail services available at Brockenhurst and Ashurst, both approximately 4 miles away, with Brockenhurst also offering an excellent sixth form college. The M27 at Cadnam is within approximately 4 miles, giving access to Portsmouth and Bournemouth via the M27 and Winchester and London via the M3.

The property is accessed via a small pedestrian path, providing access to this small run of terraced cottages and set back from the lane.

A gated entrance leads into the enclosed front garden, with a path leading to the covered storm porch set over the main entranceway, which opens into a lobby with stairs leading directly in front of you up to the first floor.

A door from here leads into the living room, which features a corner fireplace with an inset wood-burning stove set on a tiled hearth. A large square box bay window allows plentiful natural light with southerly aspects. The dining room is set adjacent and offers another generous space with ample room for a table and chairs, featuring an open fireplace (not currently in use) with a wooden mantel and slips. A window overlooks the rear courtyard, and two useful large storage cupboards are set off the room.

From here, a door opens into a well-fitted modern kitchen with storage set at both base and wall levels, coordinating work surfaces, and attractive tiled splashbacks. Fitted appliances include an induction hob set over a built-under oven with an extractor hood above. There is space for a washing machine and fridge freezer. A gas boiler is housed within a wall unit, providing heating and hot water. A door from here leads out to the garden.

The small first-floor landing provides access to the two bedrooms and bathroom. The principal bedroom is set at the front of the property with elevated views and benefits from a large walk-in wardrobe. Bedroom two benefits from an attractive ornamental fireplace. The modern bathroom offers a white suite comprising a bath with a shower set over, a WC, and a wash hand basin.

Agents note: We understand there is potential to convert the loft (STP) to create a third bedroom, as neighbouring properties have undertaken.

A pretty front garden enjoys southerly aspects and offers a good degree of privacy, with fencing to all sides, making it a lovely spot to sit out or dine.
