The Property

Carter & May are delighted to offer this spacious four/five-bedroom detached home located in Fordingbridge.

The property has been owned by the current vendor since new. The house was finished to a high specification by the original developer and has been further enhanced by the owners. It has benefited from a variety of upgrades and quality fittings, including engineered oak flooring and ceramic tiles throughout the ground floor, quality NEFF appliances in the kitchen, engineered oak internal doors, and a boarded loft with pull-down ladder access.

Upon entering the property, you are welcomed by a spacious hallway providing access to all principal rooms. To the front of the property is a study/fifth bedroom. To the rear is a beautiful and spacious open-plan living area. The dual-aspect living/dining room is bright and airy, featuring two sets of French doors leading to the rear garden. This impressive space is ideal for family living and entertaining.

The kitchen is an excellent size and offers ample wall and base units, together with generous worktop space. It provides space for both freestanding and integrated appliances, including a fridge-freezer, dishwasher, cooker, and hob. There is also a purpose-built cupboard housing the washing machine and tumble dryer.

The ground floor further benefits from a cloakroom comprising a low-level WC and wash hand basin.

On the first floor, there are three double bedrooms and one single bedroom, with the principal bedroom benefitting from a modern en-suite shower room. The en-suite comprises a walk-in shower, low-level WC, and wash hand basin. The family bathroom features a bath with overhead shower, wash hand basin, and low-level WC.

Further benefits include double glazing, gas-fired central heating, and the remainder of a 10-year Premier Guarantee.

Outside

To the front of the property, the landscaped garden features mature shrubs and planted borders, with a pathway leading to the front door.

To the side of the house is a driveway providing off-road parking for two to three vehicles and access to the detached garage, which is a good size. The garage benefits from an electric roller door, power and lighting, and a rear access door leading to the garden.

The rear garden can be accessed from both sides of the property via secure wooden gates.

The rear garden is an excellent size and enjoys a secluded feel. It has been thoughtfully landscaped to incorporate two separate flagstone patio areas, ideal for outdoor entertaining and al fresco dining, together with display borders and a lawned area. Behind the garage is a purpose-built timber workshop with power and lighting connected.

The garden is fully enclosed by fencing, providing a safe environment for children and pets. Furthermore, the vendor has recently planted thirty nine willow trees along the side boundary, which will eventually create enhanced privacy. There is also an outdoor tap and external power supply.
