Frogham is one of several peaceful hamlets and villages located in the uppermost north western corner of the New Forest National Park, where ponies and donkeys frequent the village lanes and freely mingle with the residents. There is a popular public house and village hall within Frogham, whilst neighbouring Hyde has a highly regarded primary school, garden centre and The Potting Shed cafe. Fordingbridge (approx. 1.5 miles) and Ringwood (approx. 6 miles) have an excellent range of local shops, health centres and reputable state primary and secondary schools, with Moyles Court and Forres Sandle Manor serving the private sector. The area is well served by the local road network, which 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. Those seeking outdoor pursuits will be satisfied by the glorious walking, riding and cycling countryside quite literally on the door step and there are a number of local golf and angling clubs. Sailing opportunities abound on the South Coast.
The entrance to the property is via a privately owned gravel track, from which a gate opens to a gravelled driveway with ample parking and access to a detached DOUBLE GARAGE (6.17m x 5.96m)with roller door, power and light and personal door to garden.
A pedestrian gate inset to a low level laurel hedge marks the front boundary with a brick pathway flanked by lawn and featuring various topiary plants leading to the front entrance porch. A pedestrian walkway at the side leads to the larger section of rear garden where a gravelled terrace immediately adjoins the house that can be accessed from the sitting room and utility. Beyond this is an expanse of lawn interspersed with apple trees, a vegetable patch and fruit garden and greenhouse. The plot totals 0.23 acre.
