Hamwic Independent Estate Agents are delighted to present this beautifully modernised three-bedroom detached chalet bungalow, occupying an enviable corner plot position along a country lane in the sought-after village of Cadnam. Enjoying a semi-rural setting within the New Forest and directly bordering the gentle waters of the Cadnam Brook, this unique home offers a wonderful balance of countryside charm, modern comfort and excellent commuter convenience.

Thoughtfully improved by the current owners in recent years, the property now offers beautifully appointed accommodation throughout, including a stunning dual-aspect open-plan kitchen/dining room, a characterful separate lounge with wood burner, a luxurious four-piece bathroom, first floor principal suite with en-suite, garage, and an additional versatile home office/gym space. With attractive gardens wrapping around the property and wildlife-rich river sounds, this is a home that delivers a rare lifestyle setting on the fringes of the New Forest.

Property Overview
Positioned along Old Romsey Road, approximately 100 yards from the cattle grids to Cadnam Green, the property enjoys an attractive semi-rural setting with the convenience of excellent road access for those commuting towards Southampton, Winchester, Bournemouth or beyond.

The frontage has been thoughtfully landscaped with a smart resin driveway providing additional off-road parking, alongside a lawned garden framed by mature planting. An attractive part brick and oak-framed porch creates a wonderful first impression and leads into a welcoming inner hallway.

Inside, the hallway is beautifully finished with smooth ceilings, recessed downlights and attractive engineered wood flooring running through much of the ground floor. Oak internal doors and a useful sliding oak-fronted storage cupboard add both style and practicality.

To the front of the property is a well-proportioned ground floor bedroom, ideal for guests or flexible living, complete with fitted wardrobe housing the gas combi boiler and fuse board.

The lounge is a particularly inviting room, enjoying a double aspect with windows to the side and double doors opening onto the rear garden. A wood burning stove set on a Granite hearth creates a warm focal point, while an oak-style feature beam, illuminated display shelving and fitted cupboards enhance the room’s cosy yet elegant feel.

The true heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen/dining room, extending the full depth of the property and offering a wonderfully sociable layout. This dual-aspect space is filled with natural light from a front window and rear bi-fold doors opening onto the garden. The refitted kitchen is beautifully appointed with Burford Grey cabinetry, generous work surfaces, breakfast bar seating, integrated induction hob, double ovens, dishwasher, and space for an American-style fridge/freezer. The open staircase adds architectural interest, while the room comfortably accommodates dining and day-to-day family living.

A door from the kitchen also leads directly into the garage area, offering excellent convenience for storage and practical use.

The ground floor bathroom has been refitted to a luxurious standard, featuring a striking claw-foot bathtub, low-level WC, wash basin, generous walk-in double shower, and two heated towel rails. A cleverly integrated utility cupboard provides space and plumbing for a stacked washing machine and tumble dryer with motion sensor lighting.

First Floor Accommodation
The first floor offers two further rooms, creating a versatile and well-balanced upper level.

The principal bedroom is a lovely retreat, with a rear-facing dormer window overlooking the garden and a side Velux window bringing in additional light. This room benefits from a stylish en-suite shower room fitted with a double shower enclosure, wash basin, WC, heated towel rail and tiled flooring.

The third room, currently used as a home office, offers flexibility as a bedroom, dressing room or hobbies space. It benefits from a rear window, side Velux, useful eaves storage and a recessed area to the front, with restricted head height in parts due to the chalet-style roofline.

Outside & Gardens
The gardens are a real highlight of this home, wrapping attractively around the property and providing a lovely mix of entertaining space, planting and natural outlooks.

To the rear, a composite decked terrace extends directly from the kitchen, while a separate paved patio sits outside the lounge beneath a charming timber pergola, creating a wonderful sheltered seating area. The remainder of the garden is laid mainly to lawn, bordered by timber sleepers and colourful planting including mature shrubs, flowers and greenery.

To one side of the property, metal fencing borders the bank of the Cadnam Brook, a gentle, low-level watercourse that adds real charm to the setting and attracts local wildlife, including the occasional kingfisher, making this a particularly peaceful and characterful backdrop.

There is also a gravelled side section, useful storage sheds, a covered timber canopy, and double timber gates providing side access.

Garage & Additional Space
The substantial garage offers excellent versatility, accessed via an electric roller door and side pedestrian door, with power and lighting fitted. Beyond the garage is a particularly useful additional room, ideal as a home office, gym, hobbies room or studio, with a window framing views down towards the river, a lovely feature for anyone working from home or seeking extra lifestyle space.

A Note On The Setting - While the property enjoys a wonderfully convenient position for commuters, with quick access to the M27 and wider road network, buyers should be aware that its proximity to the motorway means there is a degree of background traffic noise. For many, this is more than offset by the superb accessibility, the semi-rural feel, and the rare opportunity to live so close to both the New Forest and the Cadnam Brook.

Location - Cadnam is a highly regarded village in the North of the New Forest National Park, offering a unique blend of village charm, open countryside and practical convenience. Local amenities include a village store, pharmacy, public houses and easy access to nearby Ashurst, Lyndhurst and Totton for wider shopping and rail connections. The property is ideally positioned for those who enjoy walking, cycling, horse riding and outdoor pursuits, while also offering excellent access to the M27, M3, and routes towards Southampton, Winchester, Romsey and Bournemouth.
