Occupying an outstanding position on the edge of and overlooking Hyde Common, a detached 3 bedroom chalet bungalow set in private rear gardens.
Lavender Cottage is a modern detached chalet style home which was extended about 15 years ago occupying arguably one of the best situations within the north-western corner of the New Forest National Park, with direct access from the gate onto and overlooking Hyde Common. With distant views to the south the principal reception rooms and the master bedroom have the benefit of the wonderful outlook which is maximised by the large picture windows and conservatory also flooding light into the property. The internal layout provides flexibility with a further conservatory off the kitchen overlooking the rear garden which is a passion of the owner, being well stocked and tended, with patio seating areas. The property benefits from double glazing and oil fired central heating with scope for a new owner to incorporate their own style.
Frogham is one of several peaceful hamlets and villages dotted about the uppermost north western corner of the New Forest National Park, where ponies and donkeys frequent the roads and 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 tea rooms. Fordingbridge (approx. 1.5 miles) and Ringwood (approx. 6 miles) have an excellent range of local shops, health centres, as well as 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 property sits forward in its plot with a small garden area to the front incorporating crazy paving with a seating area in amongst established shrubs, including lavender and summer perennials.
A five bar gate and pedestrian gate lead onto the drive to the side with parking for 3/4 cars with a DETACHED SINGLE GARAGE with a remote controlled roller door with light and power connected. An internal partition provides a workshop/garden storage facility at the rear with a personal door into the rear garden and patio areas.
