About this home

Situated within the highly sought-after Hiltingbury area of Chandler’s Ford, Forest Close is a three-bedroom detached family home offering an exciting opportunity for a purchaser looking to modernise and create a property to their own specification.

Having retained much of its original character and layout since its construction in the 1960s, the property offers excellent scope for refurbishment, reconfiguration and potential extension, subject to the necessary planning permissions. Upon entering the property, the entrance hall provides access to the principal ground-floor accommodation.

To the front is a well-proportioned living room, with a large window allowing plenty of natural light into the room. To the rear is an additional reception room/study, overlooking the garden and providing a versatile space that could work particularly well as a home office, snug or playroom.

The kitchen is positioned towards the rear of the property and provides a range of wall and base units, with views across the garden. A separate dining area offers ample space for a family dining table and also provides direct access into the integral garage. The ground floor is further complemented by a separate WC. The existing arrangement offers considerable potential for a new owner to reconfigure the ground floor and create a larger open-plan kitchen/dining/family space, subject to requirements and the relevant consents.

The first floor provides three bedrooms, with two generous doubles alongside a further single bedroom. These are served by the family bathroom, which completes the upstairs accommodation.

Externally, the property enjoys an established rear garden, predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by mature hedging, shrubs and planting, creating an attractive and private outside space. To the front is a driveway providing off-road parking and access to the integral garage.
