3 bed country house for sale

High St, Woodgreen, Fordingbridge, Hampshire SP6

Set close to the centre of the desirable New Forest village of Woodgreen, a versatile 2-bedroom house with separate 1-bedroom ancillary accommodation and a lovely south-westerly outlook over grazing land.

Believed to have been built in the 1980s with later additions, Westward is an attractive house well-situated mid-way along the village High Street, within walking distance of the open forest, the Common and village amenities. The internal accommodation is well proportioned and versatile in equal measure and achieves a good balance between living rooms and bedrooms, with the further benefit of a separate bedroom/office and shower room, with a well-lit art studio/hobbies room/work from home space above. There is a very useful, accessible store room on the first floor of the outbuilding and a remaining store on the ground floor level, that could be further incorporated or adapted, subject to any planning permissions. The enclosed rear garden is an attractive feature of the property and enjoys a lovely outlook over adjoining meadow.

A 5-bar wooden gate opens to a driveway to the front and side of the property, supplying parking for three - four vehicles and leading to the house and store. There is side access to the rear via a pedestrian gate.

The garden is located mostly to the rear of the house and enjoys a south-westerly orientation with a lovely outlook over surrounding grazing land and meadow. Accessed from the sitting room and conservatory is a newly laid patio that provides a lovely vantage point for enjoying the outlook and is ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining. Steps down lead to a lawn with established beds and an ornamental pond.
