DESCRIPTION AND CONSTRUCTION
8 Oaks Drive was originally built during the 1960 s to traditional standards. It would appear the property may well have been a bungalow originally and converted, in later years, to incorporate accommodation on two floors as a chalet bungalow. The three bedrooms have bathroom shower room facilities, plus there are three reception rooms. The property also benefits from gas central heating, double glazing, superb landscaped gardens and no onward chain.

AGENTS NOTE In our opinion, to appreciate the size and potential of the property, an internal viewing is strongly recommended.

SITUATION
8 Oaks Drive is delightfully set in well established gardens 0.27 of an acre on the northern side of this well established and popular residential road. Local facilities include Marks & Spencers convenience store, Cornerways doctors surgery, St Ives primary school, Bretts pharmacy, plus the popular visitor attractions of Avon Heath and Moors Valley country parks in addition to Lions Hill and the Castleman Trailway. The A31 provides easy access to Ringwood and Ferndown plus road links to Bournemouth 12 miles, Southampton 16 miles and Salisbury 18 miles. The open New Forest is within two and a half miles.
