SITUATION

The property is situated on Dunbridge Lane, within the highly sought-after village of Awbridge. This charming village offers a range of local amenities, including a well-regarded primary school, a village hall, and a popular farm shop. For a wider selection of facilities and secondary schooling, the historic market town of Romsey is located approximately three miles away.

The nearby railway station at Dunbridge provides convenient rail services to Salisbury, Southampton, Eastleigh, and Portsmouth. Awbridge also benefits from excellent transport links. Both Southampton and Winchester are within easy reach by car, and Junction 10 of the M27 is close by, offering fast connections to the New Forest, the South Coast, Southampton Airport, and the M3 for routes towards London.

Set within the picturesque Test Valley, the area is renowned for its stunning countryside, traversed by the River Test and its tributaries. Nearby attractions include Mottisfont Abbey (National Trust), the Sir Harold Hillier Gardens and Arboretum, Ampfield Wood, Farley Mount Country Park, and the expansive landscapes of the New Forest National Park.

OUTSIDE

Accessed via an electric five-bar gate, a sweeping gravel driveway provides extensive parking and turning space, leading to an impressive four car barn and adjoining gym/studio. The gardens form a standout feature, predominantly laid to lawn and complemented by a spacious terrace ideal for outdoor entertaining, which extends to a well-equipped summer house enjoying a sunny position. The summer house includes a living/kitchen area and its own shower room.

An orchard area offers further potential, with independent access via a five-bar gate and existing groundwork in place for a secondary garage building and workshop. This space could lend itself to the creation of a self-contained annexe, subject to the necessary permissions. The orchard is dotted with mature fruit trees, and the grounds are enclosed by post and rail fencing.
