Hamwic Independent Estate Agents are proud to offer for sale, for the first time in over 60 years, this substantial and extended three/four bedroom detached chalet bungalow, occupying a particularly enviable position within the desirable village of Bartley and situated just metres from the open New Forest National Park.

Set well back within its plot and surrounded by generous front and rear gardens, the property enjoys a wonderfully leafy setting with immediate access to the forest close by. The home has clearly been well cared for over many years and remains perfectly habitable in its current form, although it now offers an exciting opportunity for the next owner to modernise and update the accommodation to suit their own tastes and requirements.

The ground floor is particularly generous, beginning with a spacious entrance hall and open staircase rising to the first floor. The main lounge is positioned at the front and benefits from a bay window, while Bedroom Two is also front facing with its own bay window and built-in storage positioned either side of the chimney breast. A further double bedroom is positioned to the rear.

The kitchen sits centrally within the home and, although now in need of modernisation, provides a practical working space with a side aspect window, access to the covered side passageway and a door leading into the separate dining room. From here, the accommodation continues into the conservatory at the rear, creating a pleasant additional reception space overlooking the garden.

A four-piece family bathroom is also located on the ground floor and, while functional, would benefit from updating as part of a wider programme of modernisation.

The first floor provides a particularly spacious principal bedroom, cleverly arranged to make the most of the available eaves and storage space. A dormer window to the front provides natural light, while a compact shower room is positioned off the bedroom.

Towards the rear is an additional room offering excellent flexibility. This space could work well as a home office, hobbies room, nursery or occasional bedroom, although buyers should note that reduced head height is present due to its position within the roof space.

Outside is where Avondale really begins to separate itself from many other homes in this price range.

The property enjoys a generous frontage, with extensive lawn, mature hedging and established planting, including an attractive Indian Bean Tree. Off-road parking is available for several vehicles, leading to the detached garage and workshop.

The rear garden offers an excellent degree of privacy and has been thoughtfully arranged over the years, with a central lawn, paved patio, mature shrubs and plants, vegetable growing areas and pathways leading towards the rear. A greenhouse, timber shed and potting shed provide additional storage and gardening space.

A covered side passageway provides practical access between the front and rear of the property and also leads to a useful outside storage room.

The detached brick-built garage and workshop is another significant feature, with an electric roller door, side windows, power and lighting, together with an additional workshop area also benefiting from power and lighting.

Overall, Avondale represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial detached chalet bungalow in one of Bartley’s most appealing positions. With generous accommodation, extensive gardens, garage/workshop space and the open forest only moments away, this is a home with enormous potential for buyers looking to create something special in a truly desirable New Forest setting.
