Property description
ARTISAN. A beautifully presented contemporary styled detached chalet residence offering light and well-proportioned rooms upon a generous plot, with mature gardens situated in a popular and quiet no through road in Ashley. Keys in office.
INTRODUCTIONPositioned in the village of Ashley, this bright and spacious detached chalet style bungalow is located approximately ¾ mile from New Milton town centre. This deceptively large property provides over 1200 sq. ft. of contemporary styled family accommodation and has been the subject of an extensive extension and refurbishment programme over recent years and now provides a relaxing and modern family home. The property offers elegant and generously proportioned light and spacious rooms arranged over two floors, with the opportunity of two ground floor bedrooms with a full family bathroom as well as two further bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor. The well fitted kitchen/dining room offers a lovely flow through to the external decked area and gardens offering the ideal opportunity for alfresco dining and entertaining with family and friends. The lounge is a stylish room offering a more formal atmosphere and the fourth bedroom presently doubles up as a study enjoying a lovely southerly aspect enhanced by the foliage back drop. To the front of the property off road parking is available terminating at a detached garage with an additional garden/store area. The rear garden is an extremely attractive feature of the property with a balance of mature trees, shrubs and seating areas offering a relaxing sylvan setting.
OWNERS’ ANNOTATIONS“For me the hub of the house has been the kitchen diner which has opening doors on to the decked and garden area. I like to socialise with friends and family and this provides a great facility especially with the afternoon sun. I chose this property because of the lovely position and plot size that it enjoys. I have given much thought to improving the accommodation and the beautiful garden is great for watching the changing seasons and the visiting wildlife.”
DESCRIPTIONThe property, originally built in the 1940’s, is constructed with brick elevations beneath a tiled and pitched roof and has undergone an extensive refurbishment and extension programme over recent years to now offer beautifully presented accommodation. The property is approached via a pedestrian pathway and a tarmacadam driveway that provides off road parking for several vehicles and terminates at the detached garage. The front garden is landscaped for ease of maintenance with the boundaries defined by a part brick, part block front wall and mature hedging. The double glazed front door sits centrally between the two front windows and opens into the welcoming entrance lobby and lounge area. An internal door then leads you through to the centralised hallway; this provides access to the kitchen dining room, the two ground floor bedrooms, one of which is presently used as a study, and the family bathroom, access to the first floor accommodation is also found here in the hallway. The lounge is an elegant, comfortable room with views across the front of the property with plenty of light offered by two aspects. There is an electric wall mounted convection style fire forming the focal point of the room and the size of the lounge has been accentuated by the open plan arrangement with the internal lobby. The kitchen dining room forms the hub of this well presented home. The kitchen area is well fitted with a range of practical storage cupboards both base and eye level with work surfaces and attractive tiled splash backs. There is space for a gas or electric cooker with an extractor hood and lighting over, space for a dishwasher, cleverly concealed wall mounted gas boiler supplying the domestic heating & hot water, space for an upright fridge/freezer, space and plumbing for a washing machine again well concealed within a built in cupboard and a double glazed window overlooking the side aspect. The kitchen area then flows into the dining room, which is a bright and sunny room benefitting from the southerly aspect of the garden, boasting double doors opening out to the decked area and rear garden creating a wonderfully light social space for entertaining the family and guests alike. The master bedroom is on the ground floor and is a stylish room with a double glazed window overlooking the front garden with storage supported by built in wardrobes with cupboards above. The 4th bedroom is presently used as a study by the owner and enjoys a delightful sylvan view of the garden. The fashionable family bathroom comprises of a four piece suite with panel sided bath, vanity basin with storage below, a concealed cistern low level WC and a trendy shower with seating and jet action spa. The room is then complemented with a sealed unit obscured glazed window, attractive tiling and a modern wall mounted towel rail. Stairs from the hallway take you to the first floor accommodation where there are two further bedrooms and a good size bathroom. There is also a storage cupboard situated adjacent to the stairs. Bedroom 2 is L-shaped and overlooks the rear aspect. Bedroom 3 is again of a good size and enjoys views over the rear garden. The bathroom benefits from a modern white three piece suite with panelled bath with shower attachment, wall mounted wash hand basin with central mixer tap, low level WC, complemented with a chrome effect wall mounted towel rail, tiled flooring, partially tiled walls and a velux style window.
GARDENSThe front driveway provides off road parking for several cars and terminates at the detached garage that has both light and power and a garden/storage area also. The front garden is arranged with low maintenance in mind and an attractive metal side gate gives access through to the rear garden and decked area. The rear garden is a lovely feature of the property being of a generous size, enjoying a southerly aspect and overlooking a back drop of mature foliage that offers a good degree of privacy and seclusion. Again low maintenance has been cleverly considered by the present owner with pretty seating areas arranged close to the verdant lawn. The boundaries are defined by wooden fencing, mature trees and hedging and there is a decked area located next to the property that enjoys the afternoon sun.
ARTISAN NOTESA charming detached bungalow that truly reveals it size and appeal from the rear aspect and has been thoughtfully extended and refurbished with a gas fired heating system, mains drainage and double glazing.Council Tax Band: E
LOCATIONAshley is a village located in the southwest of Hampshire. It lies on the eastern outskirts of New Milton in the New Forest district, and is approx. two miles inland from the sea. Its history dates back to the Domesday Book of 1086, when two estates were recorded. In the 15th century much of Ashley merged with a neighbouring manor and the estate became known as Ashley Arnewood. As a village, Ashley began to develop in the 19th century when a church and a school were built. Most of the current village was built in the 20th century and today Ashley is effectively a suburb of New Milton.
