Introduction
The mature and well tended gardens extend to approximately one third of an acre while the adjoining 1.3 acres of flat and enclosed paddock is accessed from the property or from the safe drive of the recreation ground. The paddock would be perfect for buyers requiring horse or animal pasture. The bungalow offers scope for improvement and extension subject to the usual planning consents with the loft space having been converted to a loft room. The popular village of Landford enjoys excellent schooling and is perfectly situated to enjoy all the outdoor activities the forest has to offer whilst being within an easy commute to Southampton and Salisbury.
Description
The covered entrance with timber front door opens into the welcoming entrance hall which extends into the central reception area accessing all the principal rooms and houses the airing cupboard and immersion tank. A hatch with a retractable ladder accesses the loft space which historically has been fully fitted out as a bedroom with eaves storage and dormer window to the front elevation. The dual aspect sitting room overlooks the private front garden and centres around a coal effect gas fireplace with marble surround and timber mantle piece. The kitchen enjoys views over the rear garden and paddock and is fitted with a range of wall and base units with a roll top work surface, inset four burner gas hob and oven. Plumbing is available for a washing machine and space is available for a fridge freezer. A side door opens into a small extension added in the late 80's comprising a lobby area and cloakroom which houses the Glow Worm gas fired boiler. The master and second bedrooms are both generously proportioned doubles and enjoy fitted wardrobes. The third bedroom / dining room has French doors which open onto steps down to the lawn and rear garden. The half tiled family bathroom comprises a white three piece suite with a panelled bath, pedestal wash hand basin and low level wc.
Outside
The bungalow is set back from the road and fronted by a row of shaped leylandii with a gravel driveway extending past the property to the workshop to the rear. Both the front and rear gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and flanked by well maintained hedges with a pathway leading to the open porch and front door. In the rear garden a large timber workshop/garage provides storage space or garaging and has a log store attached. A vegetable garden, garden store and greenhouse border the paddock which is fully enclosed. There is access to the paddock and a water supply at this point.
