3 Bedroom Detached House Sold
An extended 3-bedroom detached bungalow occupying a peaceful rural position on the edge of the village, within the New Forest National Park.
Woodpeckers is an extended detached bungalow believed to originally date from the 1960s located on the peaceful rural outskirts of the village, enjoying a wonderful aspect over neighbouring grazing land and countryside beyond.

Externally, the landscaped garden offers both entertaining space and formal garden, and a full-width patio across the rear of the property provides the ideal vantage point to enjoy the superb rural outlook.

Woodpeckers is situated on the peaceful rural outskirts of the village of Lover, which is tucked inside the upper Northernmost boundary of the New Forest National Park. Lover and neighbouring Redlynch and Woodfalls provide a range of local facilities including the Lover and Redlynch pre-school, a primary school, village shop, churches and a popular public house The Kings Head in Redlynch.
The larger village of Downton (approx. 2 miles) offers further amenities including local shops, primary and secondary schooling and health and leisure facilities. The Cathedral City of Salisbury is approximately 9 miles to the North and offers more extensive facilities, including the reputable grammar schools Bishop Wordsworth's and South Wilts, and mainline rail services to London (Waterloo). The M27 is easily accessed via the A36 for Southampton and the M3 beyond, and there are further mainline rail services from Southampton Parkway.
The outdoor enthusiast is well catered for by the location, with the RSPB owned Franchises Lodge Nature Reserve in close proximity at the end of Black Lane. There is glorious walking, riding and cycling country on the open acres of the New Forest and golf clubs at near-by Hamptworth, Bramshaw and Salisbury.
To the front of the bungalow is a part-gravelled parking area for two vehicles bound by a wooden picket fence with gated access points to the front and rear gardens. The front garden is laid to lawn with a mature hedged front boundary and a path leading to the side where there are two garden sheds. Accessed from various points within the bungalow, a generous sandstone patio runs the full width of the rear and to the side of the bungalow, a superb spot for al fresco entertaining or relaxing whilst enjoying the marvellous rural outlook over adjoining fields and countryside. Steps from the patio lead down to an expanse of lawn with shrub borders and featuring a lovely, mature magnolia tree. The gardens are enclosed by a combination of fencing and hedging and offer a high degree of privacy.
