Description

This chalet bungalow presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment in one of Highcliffe’s more coveted neighborhoods, situated just under 500 meters from the picturesque Highcliffe Castle and its beach access. The property is generously positioned on a sizable plot, offering ample scope for extensions or personalized enhancements, pending planning approval. Notably, the home is available with no forward chain. The property's entrance is marked by a spacious brick-paved driveway, providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles. Inside, the lounge stretches from front to back and features patio doors that open to the rear garden. Double internal doors create an inviting flow into the dining room, which is partly open-plan with the kitchen. The kitchen is equipped along three walls with a comprehensive set of wall and base units, integrated appliances, and a breakfast bar area. A door leads directly from the kitchen to an outdoor patio space. On the ground floor, you'll find the principal bedroom complete with fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. A cloakroom enhances convenience on this level. Ascending to the first floor reveals two additional double bedrooms, both boasting fitted wardrobes along with a family bathroom that services this upper level. Externally, a detached single garage and carport featuring an electronically operated door add further practicality to this property. The garden itself is substantial and visually appealing; it includes an expansive patio area that transitions to a well-maintained lawn bordered by mature shrubs and trees. Conveniently located approximately 0.6 miles from Highcliffe village, residents can access a variety of cafes, restaurants, and shops; more extensive facilities are available slightly further in Christchurch or Bournemouth. For commuters, Hinton Admiral mainline train station is about 1.1 miles away and offers regular services to Bournemouth, Southampton, and London Waterloo. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate proximity to New Forest National Park, located roughly 3.6 miles from the property—a fantastic area known for its breathtaking countryside and ancient woodlands. Moreover, this property falls within desirable catchment areas for Highcliffe School and Highcliffe St Mark’s Primary School. This home holds significant potential for those interested in making upgrades or additions while enjoying all that the surrounding community has to offer.
