With direct forest access and a stunning outlook, a spacious, individual 3-bedroom house occupying a superb position adjoining Hyde Common. NO ONWARD CHAIN.

Situated in the highly desirable New Forest village of Frogham, Homestal is an attractive detached house of traditional red brick elevation believed to have been built approximately 50 years ago standing in a wonderful position adjacent to and overlooking the glorious open acres of Hyde Common. Behind the attractive facade the accommodation is of surprising scale and extends to approximately 2,500 sq. ft. (including garage) that features a well-proportioned sitting room, a ground floor bedroom and two generous first floor bedrooms, both of which enjoy stunning views of Hyde Common. Additionally, on the first floor is a sizeable store/games room above the garage that could be incorporated more fully into the house (subject to any planning/regulation consent). The house has been well cared for and maintained over the years, but now offers an incoming purchaser the opportunity to cosmetically update according to their individual personal taste. The gardens are designed to be low maintenance and there is the benefit of an attached double garage and driveway parking.

The property occupies an outstanding position overlooking the scenic open forest of Hyde Common onto which there is direct access from the garden gate. 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 open forest. There is a popular public house and village hall within Frogham, whilst neighbouring Hyde has a highly regarded primary school, garden shop 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.

For those seeking a balance between a 'work-from-home' and office-based environment, communications in the area are excellent. The local road network, including the A338 and A36, 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 undoubtedly be satisfied by the wonderful location and the glorious walking, riding and cycling countryside virtually on the door step at Abbotswell and Hyde Common. There is a choice of local golf and angling clubs in the vicinity and sailing opportunities abound on the South Coast and at Spinnaker Sailing Club at Blashford Lakes, near Ringwood.

The property is approached over a cattle grid to a long gravelled driveway that leads to the front of the house, widening to a parking and turning area and the DOUBLE GARAGE with up and over door. A pathway runs to the side of the house providing pedestrian access to the rear garden.

The front garden is primarily laid to gravelled display areas with well planted, mature shrubs providing seasonal colour and a good level of privacy on the front boundary. The south-facing rear garden is laid to paved patio and display areas for ease of maintenance and again is bordered by a series of mature shrub beds. A private gate inset to the pocket-fenced boundary provides direct access onto the open forest of Hyde Common, of which there are stunning views to be enjoyed.
