Description

This three-bedroom detached bungalow is situated in an enviable location directly opposite the open forest, providing a tranquil setting with potential for both renovation and investment. The property features a spacious gravel driveway that accommodates multiple vehicles, along with a detached garage and workshop, offering practical solutions for storage or workspace. Entering through a glazed porch, you find an inner hallway that connects to various living spaces. The sizable sitting room, complete with a feature fireplace, invites natural light through its side aspect window and leads into a generous conservatory. This conservatory not only enhances the living area but also provides views of the south-west facing garden—a promising space ideal for further landscaping or enhancement. Adjacent to the sitting room is a dining area that features an archway opening into the galley-style kitchen. The kitchen is functional as-is but presents ample opportunity for modern upgrades. The hallway branches off to three bedrooms and a family shower room. The master bedroom includes an en-suite shower room and has been freshly carpeted, while the additional bedrooms also benefit from new carpeting and cozy layouts. The family bathroom features a walk-in shower cubicle, adding convenience for daily use. The exterior of the property reinforces its appeal; the large rear garden offers a blank canvas for gardening enthusiasts or those looking to create an outdoor entertainment area. Its orientation ensures sunlight throughout much of the day. Located within walking distance to Brockenhurst village center, this property provides easy access to local shops and amenities essential for daily life. It’s also just moments away from beautiful forest trails and recreational opportunities in the New Forest National Park. For commuters, Brockenhurst train station offers direct services to London Waterloo in about 90 minutes, while nearby road links via Junction 1 of the M27 facilitate travel towards larger urban centers. With its desirable location and abundant potential for modernization or expansion (subject to planning permission), this bungalow represents an attractive opportunity for investors or homeowners looking to create their ideal living space in a sought-after area.
