1 bed semi-detached house for sale

Salisbury Road, Breamore, Fordingbridge, Hampshire SP6

A charming Grade II listed thatched, semi-detached cottage centrally located in the sought after village of Breamore. No onward chain.

The cottage, which is Grade II listed, dates from the 17th centruy and exhibits a wealth of features typical of the heritage, including exposed beams, a bread oven in fireplace (not in use) in the sitting room and a well located in the front garden. The property has been extended and reconfigured during the current ownership and offers flexible and well arranged accommodation benefitting from a sunny, south and west facing aspect and two useful outbuildings in the form of an oak-framed car port and open fronted garage with adjacent storeroom that could offer alternate use (subject to any planning consent requirements).

The sought after village of Breamore in the Avon Valley lies just outside the New Forest National Park and to the east of the Cranborne Chase, an area of outstanding natural beauty. Breamore has an active community based around a village Church, public house, primary school, and Hulse Hall, whilst neighbouring Woodgreen has a community shop/Post Office. The Avonside town of Fordingbridge (approx. 1.5 miles) has an excellent range of local shops, a building society, medical and health centres and reputable state and private schools.

Communications in the area are excellent. The local road network, including the A338 and A36, draws the regional centres of Salisbury, Bournemouth and Southampton within striking distance. There are mainline rail services from Salisbury and Southampton Parkway (90 minutes and 71 minutes respectively) to London Waterloo and international airports at Southampton and Bournemouth. A regular bus service (X3) to Fordingbridge, Ringwood, Downton and Salisbury stops nearby on Salisbury Road.

Those who enjoy outdoor pursuits will be satisfied by the glorious walking, riding and cycling opportunities thrown up by the surrounding countryside and a gate inset to the rear boundary opens to a footpath leading to the scenic Breamore Marsh. There is a choice of local golf and angling clubs in the vicinity and sailing opportunities abound on the South Coast and at Spinnaker Sailing Club at Blashford Lakes, near Ringwood.

The property is approached through a five bar gate opening to a generous gravel driveway to the side of the cottage leading to an oak framed carport and open fronted garage with a store and office/store with power points and electric heater which could offer alternate use (subject to securing all relevant planning consent).

The attractive, south and west facing gardens are laid mainly to lawn and enclosed by established hedging, ensuring a high degree of privacy. A patio area adjoins the rear of the property and a pedestrian gate inset to the boundary hedge at the end of the garden adjoins a footpath leading to Breamore marsh and open countryside beyond.
