his period detached house is located in-between Hordle and Everton within walking distance of the Ofsted ‘outstanding‘ school, occupying a quarter of an acre south facing site. The house is now in need of complete updating and offers a superb opportunity to enhance and extend the current accommodation subject to the necessary consents to create an impressive family home within a short drive of both Milford on Sea and Lymngton.

The property is situated in the village of Hordle and epitomises the peace and tranquillity of the New Forest. Hordle, is a semi-rural village between Lymington, a popular market town famed for its river and marinas and New Milton which offers comprehensive leisure and shopping facilities with excellent schools nearby.

The front door opens in to a central hallway with twin reception rooms positioned either side of the staircase. The lounge and dining room both have open fireplaces and wooden sash windows. The kitchen, at the end of the hall, over looks the rear garden with a range of dated work tops and cupboards, one which houses a modern gas boiler. A rear door opens in to a lean to with downstairs cloak room and a spacious utility room. The whole of the rear of the house would benefit from a two story extension. The stairs rise to the first floor landing with two double bedrooms positioned above the ground floor reception rooms.

Overall the property requires considerable improvement but offers a great opportunity to create a spacious family home on a lovely sized plot.
