4 bedroom detached house for sale

Dating from the early 1900s, a substantial detached family house of over 3,200 sq. ft. set in private gardens on the outskirts of the town.

10 Victoria Road is a handsome detached house of attractive red brick elevation believed to date from the early 1900s that occupies a convenient position on the Western edge of Fordingbridge, which is a down hill walk away. Offering extremely spacious accommodation over three floors, the fabric of the house has been extremely well-maintained and is presented in first class order throughout, with a wonderful blend of modern living and comfort set against the backdrop of a substantial period home that has retained many features of the age, including gracious ceiling heights, sash windows, skirting boards and exposed wood flooring. The house stands in a good sized plot, with private gardens located to the east and south elevation and a useful outbuilding that could be employed for a number of different purposes. During their time in residence the current owners have replaced the boiler and added solar panels to improve the energy efficiency credentials of the house.

Victoria Road sits approximately 1/2 mile to the West of Fordingbridge town centre, a former market town situated at an historic crossing point on the banks of the River Avon, just outside the New Forest National Park. The town offers a range of day to day facilities, including reputable schooling at Fordingbridge Infants & Junior School and Burgate Secondary School & Sixth Form, doctors' and dentists' surgeries, a library and a diverse selection of independent shops. There is also a number of clubs and societies, including a variety of sports, in the immediate locality.

The local road network grants convenient access to the cathedral city of Salisbury, Bournemouth and Southampton. There are international airports at the latter two and mainline rail links to London (Waterloo) from all three. The outdoor enthusiast is well served by the town's proximity to the New Forest, where there are myriad walking, cycling and riding opportunities amongst the thousands of acres of moor, heath and woodland. There is a selection of golf clubs in the area, racing at Salisbury and sailing opportunities abound on the South Coast.

A gravelled driveway with adjoining parking bay provides access to the front of the house before continuing to the side where there is a further parking area and rear courtyard. There is also access to the detached outbuilding.
