Owners Comments
“Over many years, we have enjoyed the benefits of growing up in this pleasant and friendly village, paddling in the small stream and ranging the fields whilst being within walking distance of the New Forest, pubs and local shops.”
“In summer, the peace of the garden is enjoyed from the patio or conservatory where we spent many happy hours relaxing, watching the wildlife both in the garden and across the stream in the adjacent field, whilst in winter, the house is warm and cosy with its open fire.”
Introduction
Widcombe is a pretty, three bedroom home situated upon a quiet country road in the popular village of Landford on the Hampshire/Wiltshire border. Picturesque within its setting, the property offers enormous potential for extension to provide substantial accommodation, subject to planning permission. Having been retained within the family for over 40 years the property has benefitted from some improvement comprising a attractive yet sizeable conservatory overlooking the manicured lawn but could also benefit from some updating. The sitting room is centred upon an open fireplace and there are three well sized bedrooms on the first floor served by the family bathroom. There is ample parking and a car port to the front with further potential to erect a double garage, subject to planning permission.
Landford is a sought after New Forest village with many traditional local amenities, excellent commuter links and ideal local schooling being within catchment of the well regarded grammar schools.
