2 bed flat for sale

Bartons Road, Fordingbridge, Hampshire SP6

An elegant 2 double-bedroom first-floor apartment within the Grade II listed Barton Hall development located in the centre of town. Leasehold.

Flat 10, Barton Hall has been created from the careful restoration and redevelopment in 2015 of the Grade II listed former Fordingbridge Infirmary which was built in 1885, originally as part of Fordingbridge Workhouse. The whole development now comprises 11 apartments and 4 single storey cottages all incorporating original period features that blend with the requirements of modern day living. Some of the features in No. 10 include replacement electric radiator heating, gracious 10' ceiling heights and panelled internal doors and secondary glazing and the apartment is being sold with the benefit of no onward chain.

Barton Hall is conveniently located a short distance from the town centre, within close, level walking distance of the amenities that include an array of shops, a cinema, a selection of pubs and restaurants, a library, a building society and a gp's surgery, which is located adjacent to Barton Hall. Sporting and recreational needs are well served by Fordingbridge Recreation Ground and Sports Club located on the banks of the River Avon, which is home to rugby and football teams. There is reputable primary schooling at Fordingbridge Infant & Junior School and Burgate Secondary School.

Communications in the area are good with convenient road access to the regional centres of Salisbury, Bournemouth and Southampton, all of which can provide a more comprehensive range of amenities. The regular X3 bus service serving Salisbury and Bournemouth stops in the town whilst mainline rail services to London (Waterloo) are available from Southampton Parkway and Salisbury. There are airports at Southampton and Bournemouth. For the outdoor enthusiast the New Forest is close at hand, its thousands of acres of heath and woodland providing glorious walking and riding country, whilst water sports opportunities abound on the South Coast.

No. 10 benefits from an allocated parking space as well as use of the communal gardens which have been attractively landscaped to lawn with shrub beds and hedging. There is also a communal bicycle store, refuse store and visitor parking.
