Country house for sale in Godshill Wood, Fordingbridge, Hampshire SP6

A charming extended four bedroom detached family home in a most tranquil setting. Benefitting from a separate parcel of land with outbuilding all in all totalling 0.57 acre. Viewing highly recommended.

Standing in a most peaceful setting along a Forest track is this charming and extended detached family home. Approaching the house from the track a wooden five bar gate opens to a grassed drive that provides off road parking, leading to the garage. The front door opens to a welcoming entrance hall with cloakroom and stairs rise to the first floor. The living room that connects to the dining room is a lovely space for the owners to relax and dine. The living space opens to the verandah which enjoys a pleasant covered view of the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room is a good size and has the benefit of a separate utility room.

The first floor accommodation comprises four bedrooms of which three are doubles and the main bedroom has an en-suite shower room. The family bathroom with shower cubicle compliments the other bedrooms.

Outside the gardens are mainly laid as lawn with flower and shrub beds plus mature trees. At the end of the garden is a workshop/office and a greenhouse.

Opposite the house on the other side of the track is a separate piece of land that is accessed by a gate. It has a drive, and an 'L' shaped outbuilding which is part completed and would offer good additional storage space.

The house is positioned quite literally off the beaten track and occupies a private location close to the open heath, moor and woodland of Godshill Wood Enclosure and Castle Hill. The well-regarded community of Godshill is situated on the Western boundary of the New Forest National Park and provides excellent access to the open heathland stretching up to Hampton Ridge, where there is glorious walking, riding and cycling countryside. Godshill has a number of amenities including a village hall and popular public house and is supported by its close links to Sandy Balls Holiday Centre, where there is a leisure complex, restaurant and shop. The Avonside town of Fordingbridge (approximately 2 miles) provides a further range of day-to-day health, recreational and educational facilities. An excellent local road network ensures convenient access to Bournemouth, Southampton and the Cathedral City of Salisbury, all of which offer more comprehensive facilities including mainline rail links to London (Waterloo), and it is a short drive across the forest via the B3078 to Junction 1 of the M27 at Cadnam. There are international airports at Bournemouth and Southampton.

The property stands in well maintained grounds comprising lawns, flower and shrub beds and mature trees. Running across the living room and dining room is an oak framed verandah with glazed roof lights.

A five bar wooden gate provides access from the track to a grassed parking area. This in turn leads to the double garage which has twin up and over doors. Personal door to the side.

In the garden is a substantial outbuilding suitable for a home office or as a workshop. Adjacent to this is a greenhouse.

On the opposite side of the track is a driveway that leads up to an 'l'shaped timber outbuilding that is partially finished. To the right of this is a parking area.
