3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Mintys Hill, Rockbourne, Fordingbridge, Hampshire SP6

An extended 3-bedroom semi-detached house occupying a quiet, elevated position backing onto farmland in the picturesque village of Rockbourne.

An immaculately presented 3-bedroom semi-detached house superbly located on high ground above the centre of the village, backing onto rolling farmland. The house has historically been extended to significantly enlarge the ground floor accommodation, which now comprises a spacious sitting room, separate dining room with a further sitting area and a generous kitchen/breakfast room. The first floor is home to three bedrooms, all of which enjoy a countryside outlook, and the house throughout enjoys a good level of natural light. The house has been assiduously maintained during the current owner's time in residence and is presented in immaculate condition, exhibiting a level of care and attention that is mirrored by the pretty rear garden. A further benefit to the house is the generous gravelled frontage that provides off road parking for numerous vehicles.

The sought after Downland village of Rockbourne sits amidst lovely rolling countryside, which is a designated Conservation Area falling within the Cranborne Chase National Landscape and International Dark Skies Reserve. Rockbourne is home to a thriving community that benefits from a reputable primary school - which is within close walking distance - a village hall, a church and popular, community-run public house, The Rose & Thistle.

The Avonside town of Fordingbridge (approx. 4 miles) provides a comprehensive range of day to day services, including schooling within both the state and private sector, a medical/health centre, a good range of local shops, a building society and a library.

The excellent communications network allows ready access to the regional centres of Salisbury, Bournemouth and Southampton; all have mainline rail links to London Waterloo and there are airports at the latter two. A myriad of footpaths and bridleways exist in the surrounding area and there is magnificent walking and out-riding to be had on near-by Whitsbury Downs; the contrasting moor, heath and woodland of the New Forest is approximately five miles to the East.

To the front of the house is a generous gravelled frontage that supplies ample parking and turning space for numerous vehicles, supplemented by a further gravelled parking area to the side of the house where there is a gated pedestiran access to the rear. Adjoining the front of the house is a raised patio that enjoys a south-westerly elevation and outlook through the trees to farmland in the distance.

Accessed from the dining/garden room at the rear of the property is a sizeable wrap around patio enclosed by retaining brick wall. Steps lead up to an elevated lawn with beautifully maintained flower borders and a useful garden shed in one corner.
