The picturesque village of Martin nestles within the rolling countryside of the Cranborne Chase, where a network of country paths and bridle ways access lovely walking and riding countryside across Martin Down. The active community is well supported by a village hall, which is home to a community shop, and a church, while the neighbouring village of Damerham (approx 3 miles) has a reputable primary school, garage and popular public house. The Avonside town of Fordingbridge (approx. 6 miles) has a range of health, educational, shopping and recreational services sufficient to cater for most day to day needs and the Cathedral City of Salisbury, which offers a broader range of facilities including reputable state and private schooling, is almost equidistant via the A354. Beyond Fordingbridge the A338 and B3078 provide ready access to Bournemouth and Southampton respectively with the latter linking with Junction 1 of the M27. The outdoor enthusiast is equally well catered for, not only by the surrounding countryside but also by the New Forest National Park ( approx 8 miles). Sailing opportunities abound on the South Coast and Golf on numerous courses.
A driveway provides parking for two cars and leads to the GARAGE 19'4 x 11'8 (5.8 x 3.5m) with up and over door, eaves storage, light and power, space for a workbench and door to garden.
The front garden is laid to lawn with established flower beds and borders enclosed by mature beech hedging. A gated side access leads into the delightful south west facing rear garden, which is an undoubted feature of the property. Immediately adjoining the rear of the house is a large paved patio with rose clad trellising. There is a large expanse of lawn with very well stocked and tended flower/shrub borders interspersed with mature and specimen trees all of which continues to the rear boundary. An area within the garden has been designated for vegetables with three large raised beds. The whole is enclosed by hedged and fenced boundaries and to include two garden sheds and a lean-to log store.
