Situated in the desirable Downland village of Martin, Lilac Cottage is an excellent, spacious detached house set in a generous garden plot of approximately 0.23 acre that backs onto and overlooks neighbouring grazing land, providing a lovely rural backdrop. The house offers well-proportioned accommodation that has been well maintained in recent years yet provides opportunity for an incoming purchaser to cosmetically upgrade aspects of the house if desired. There is a good balance between versatile ground floor living rooms and three double bedrooms on the first floor, whilst externally there is a generous frontage that provides ample parking space, a garage, and a beautifully tended, private garden located to the rear of the house. NO ONWARD CHAIN.
The picturesque and popular village of Martin nestles within the rolling countryside of the Cranborne Chase, where a network of country paths and bridle ways access lovely walking and riding countryside across Martin Down. An active and welcoming community, Martin is well supported by a village hall, from which a community shop is run, and a church, and the neighbouring village of Damerham (approx 3 miles) has a reputable primary school, garage and popular public house.
The Avonside town of Fordingbridge (approx. 7 miles) has a range of health, educational, shopping and recreational services sufficient to cater for most day to day needs and the Cathedral City of Salisbury, which offers a broader range of facilities including reputable state and private schooling, is almost equidistant via the A354. Beyond Fordingbridge the A338 and B3078 provide ready access to Bournemouth and Southampton respectively with the latter linking with Junction 1 of the M27. The New Forest National Park is approximately 8 miles to the east, sailing opportunities abound on the South Coast and there is a good choice of local golf clubs including Salisbury and Tollard Royal.
The property is approached through a 5-bar wooden gate to a gravelled driveway with parking and turning space flanked by lawn and shrub beds. The driveway continues to the side of the house to the attached SINGLE GARAGE with up-and-over door.
The delightful rear garden is beautifully tended and stocked. Adjoining the house is a patio area with small ornamental pond, beyond which lies an large expanse of lawn bordered and interspersed by colourful, well-stocked flower and shrub beds. Within the garden is a useful shed, greenhouse and summerhouse and the garden abuts neighbouring paddock land, providing a lovely, open, rural outlook.
