Summary of Features

Introduction

Having been in the same family for the last 50 years, this charming detached forest residence

is offered to the market with no forward chain. Enjoying a favoured position in the heart of

the desirable New Forest village of Cadnam, the property is set on a mature and generous

plot offering four well proportioned bedrooms with the principal bedroom situated on the

first floor enjoying ensuite facilities. The property has been previously extended with the last

addition in the mid 90’s with further scope to modernise or reconfigure. A sizeable triple

aspect sitting room features a working recessed fireplace accessed from the most welcoming

reception hall along with a separate formal dining room. A family bathroom and three of the

bedrooms are situated on the ground floor along with the kitchen breakfast room overlooking

the lovely rear garden via sliding glazed doors. Set back from the road, a mature tree

punctuates the shaped lawn and extensive driveway extending to the detached single garage.

Cadnam offers a variety of amenities which include a garage, shop, public house, garden

centre and of course beautiful forest on the doorstep. The proximity to the M27 makes this

a great location for those buyers seeking easy commuting.

Description

A character solid oak front door with leaded inset windows open into the entrance porch with

cupboard for coats and shoes. A secure inner door opens into the welcoming reception hall

flooded with natural light from two sets of glazed French doors leading to the adjoining

reception rooms as well as hosting the airing cupboard and immersion tank. The generous

triple aspect sitting room features a working fireplace set against a red brick wall and quarry

tiled hearth creating a focal point to the room. A large box bay window overlooks the mature

front garden. A separate dining room with exposed wooden floorboards is able to

comfortably host a family dining table and chairs. The fitted kitchen breakfast room offers a

range of cream wall and base units with contrasting work surfaces and breakfast bar. A Neff

eye level double oven is integrated with five burner gas hob, extractor hood and plumbing

for a washing machine and dishwasher. Sliding patio doors open to a block paved seating

area and rear garden. The family bathroom comprises a corner bath with separate shower

cubicle, low level WC and pedestal wash hand basin and heated towel rail with an additional

cloakroom off the hallway. An inner hall accesses the bedrooms, all of generous proportions.

Two of these bedrooms on the ground floor host fitted wardrobes and storage. The bright

and airy galleried landing provides access to the boarded and shelved loft space and the

spacious dual aspect principal bedroom. Recessed shelving units are fitted with access into

the eaves providing additional storage with ample space for free standing furniture. The

fitted ensuite shower room boasts a cubicle with mixer shower, vanity unit with mounted

wash basin, low level WC and heated towel rail.

Outside

The property is approached via a sculpted block paved driveway with ornamental centre

piece, providing extensive off road parking extending to the detached single garage. A white

picket fence forms the front boundary with a well-tended lawn and well stocked beds flanking

the driveway. Secure gates either side of the property access the enclosed rear garden which

features a central lawn and willow tree. A generous block paved seating area meets the lawn

with a rockery and water feature in the far corner with a screened compost area and sheds.

A colourful variety of mature shrubs and small trees create a pleasant backdrop.

Location

Situated within the New Forest National Park, Cadnam is ideally positioned with easy access

onto the motorway network with fast links to either the south coast or London. Direct rail

links to Waterloo are just a five minute drive away at Ashurst or Totton. Cadnam enjoys a

number of well regarded public houses and eateries with a comprehensive range of
