The property

A beautifully presented detached chalet-style house that benefits from a layout that could suit a variety of requirements, with an excellent balance between well-proportioned living spaces and bedrooms over two floors. The house benefits from a large, private rear garden, and is finished to the highest standard. The property has owned solar panels, which in the last year produced £897.50 in income. In addition to this, it benefits from reduced utility costs due to the electricity generated.

Carter and May are delighted to offer for sale this large family home tucked away in a quiet cul de sac of just four properties in Fordingbridge. The original, double-fronted façade belies the true size of the house, the property having been extended significantly at the rear. 

On entering the property there are two large reception rooms which feature bay windows making them bright and airy. The hallway continues with stairs leading to the first floor and access to the kitchen, living room/dining room and downstairs toilet. The grand living/dining room is well proportioned and includes an open fire with surrounding fire place, is dual aspect, and has French doors leading to the rear garden.

To the rear and left of the property is the kitchen which, like the rest of the house, is spacious and bespoke with a country lifestyle feel. The kitchen has ample wall and base units, work surfaces areas, and space for both fitted and integrated appliances. The kitchen also provides ample space for a dining room table and chairs, and also benefits from a walk in pantry. The utility room has wall and base units, plumbing for a washing machine and a door leading to the side of the property.

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

The first floor has 4 double bedrooms off the central landing and corridor. The dual aspect large master bedroom suite is substantial and has an en-suite shower room and walk-in wardrobe. There are two bedrooms with windows to the front of the property and a fourth bedroom with two windows overlooking the rear and side of the home. The family bathroom is a delight, with lovely wooden floorboards and a traditional airing cupboard. The bathroom has a bath with overhead shower, low level WC and wash hand basin.

The Outside

To the outside, the property is set back and secluded from the road and sits on a large plot which is not overlooked by neighbours. Through double wooden gates a large shingled driveway provides off road parking for a number of vehicles. There is an Electric Charging Unit located to the front of the property. The remaining front garden has mature shrub borders and is enclosed by a brick built front wall. Access runs along both sides of the property leading to the glorious rear garden, which has been imaginatively landscaped to provide a well-maintained lawn enclosed by deep and well stocked flower and shrub borders. Years of care have yielded a result that's worth the visit, because no photograph can ever do it justice. Its separate components are lovely: mature trees, flower beds, a pond, but the overall effect is magical. As well as the garden is the paved patio, which runs the full width of the rear of the house, giving excellent space for outside dining. Adjacent to the patio is the substantial outbuilding, finished to the same style as the house, and complete with power. The outbuilding can be used as a gym/home office or workshop.
