A 4-bedroom, detached family home situated in the picturesque village of Martin in an attractive garden of approximately 0.15 acre and with an outlook towards Martin Down.
The Swallows is a detached, family house well situated in the picturesque village of Martin standing in an attractive garden plot of approximately 0.15 acre. The accommodation is well proportioned and has been well maintained during the current owners' tenure, although there remains scope for an incoming owner to alter according to personal taste and possibly enlarge it, subject to securing relevant planning consents. Many of the principal rooms enjoy an outlook over the garden to Martin Down beyond, especially those on the first floor, and there is the benefit of a double garage and ample parking on the front driveway.
The picturesque and popular village of Martin nestles within the rolling countryside of the Cranborne Chase, where a network of country paths and bridle ways access lovely walking and riding countryside across Martin Down. An active and welcoming community, Martin is well supported by a village hall, from which a community shop is run, and a church, and the neighbouring village of Damerham (approx 3 miles) has a reputable primary school, garage and popular public house.
The Avonside town of Fordingbridge (approx. 7 miles) has a range of health, educational, shopping and recreational services sufficient to cater for most day to day needs and the Cathedral City of Salisbury, which offers a broader range of facilities including reputable state and private schooling, is almost equidistant via the A354. Beyond Fordingbridge the A338 and B3078 provide ready access to Bournemouth and Southampton respectively with the latter linking with Junction 1 of the M27. The New Forest National Park is approximately 8 miles to the east, sailing opportunities abound on the South Coast and there is a good choice of local golf clubs including Salisbury and Tollard Royal.
The house is approached through a 5 bar wooden gate that opens to a tarmacadam parking area for 2 - 3 cars and access to the double garage with twin up-and-over doors and a personal door to the side. There is pedestrian access on either side of the house to the rear where the garden is principally located.
Adjoinging the rear of the house is a patio area ideal for al fresco dining and enjoying the south-westerly aspect and views towards Martin Down. The garden is a combination of lawn with colourful, well stocked flower beds and borders, matures trees providing areas of shade and is well enclosed by established hedging.
