"A beautifully maintained and presented 3 bedroom bungalow approx. 1,770 sq. ft. occupying an enviable location on the edge of Hyde with direct forest access.

A spacious detached bungalow occupying an enviable position overlooking and with direct access to the open forest of Hyde Common set in a beatifully tended garden totalling approximately 0.28 acre. The accommodation is perhaps more generous than the frontage belies and there is an impressive 27 kitchen breakfast room that opens to the delightful garden, complemented by an open plan sitting room and dining room with adjoining conservatory. The three double bedrooms are well arranged to the front of the bungalow and are served by a large wet room and bathroom. The beautifully maintained rear garden is an undoubted highlight of colourful flower beds and maincured lawns with an open outlook of neighbouring paddock land.

The bungalow occupies a simply glorious position on the edge of Hyde Common with direct forest access from the front gate. Hyde is one of several peaceful hamlets and villages located in the uppermost north western corner of the New Forest National Park, where ponies and donkeys frequent the village lanes and open forest. Hyde has a highly regarded primary school, garden shop and appealing Potting Shed cafe and there is a popular public house and village hall at neighbouring Frogham. Fordingbridge approx. 1.5 miles and Ringwood approx. 6 miles have an excellent range of local shops, health centres and reputable state primary and secondary schools, with Moyles Court and Forres Sandle Manor serving the private sector.

For those seeking a balance between a work from home and office based environment, communications in the area are excellent. The local road network, including the A338 and A36, draws the regional centres of Salisbury, Bournemouth and Southampton within striking distance. There are mainline rail services from Salisbury and Southampton Parkway 90 minutes and 71 minutes respectively to London Waterloo and international airports at Southampton and Bournemouth.

Those seeking outdoor pursuits will undoubtedly be satisfied by the wonderful location and the glorious walking, riding and cycling countryside on the door step at Hyde Common and Abbotswell. There is a choice of local golf and angling clubs in the vicinity and sailing opportunities abound on the South Coast and at Spinnaker Sailing Club at Blashford Lakes, near Ringwood.

From the track an electric 5 bar wooden gate opens to a gravelled parking area with ample parking space for several vehicles and access to a detached SINGLE GARAGE with remote up and over door and personal door to side.

The beautiful garden is located wholly to the rear of the bungalow and adjoins a neighbouring paddock. A generous stone patio can be accessed from the conservatory and kitchen and is the perfect spot for al fresco dining and entertaining. Steps lead down to manicured lawn flanking a brick pathway that winds its way to the end of the garden, passing a series of colourful, well stocked flower and shrub beds and several maturing trees including silver birch. At the far end of the garden is a greenhouse and two garden sheds and the garden abuts neighbouring paddock, over which there is an open outlook.
