Newport Lane, Braishfield, Romsey, Hampshire, So51

An exciting opportunity to purchase this well situated detached property standing in just under half an acre with attractive view to the rear, situated in a quiet lane on the edge of this popular village

A detached 3/4 bedroom bungalow requiring modernisation, together with an attached recently modernised light and airy one bedroom annexe. The property stands almost centrally in a near half acre level plot with an attractive garden featuring a number of mature oak trees and an open outlook to the rear over a paddock. The property is situated within the Settlement Area and offers scope for extension or potentially replacement/redevelopment. The quiet setting in Newport Lane provides a particularly attractive place to live with fantastic walking and cycling opportunities in the surrounding countryside.

The property is situated in a quiet lane on the edge of the old part of the village of Braishfield. The village, which has an excellent community and primary school, also has a village hall/community shop, church, recreation ground, two public houses, and is only about 10 minutes’ drive from Romsey with its wider range of amenities, as well as being well placed for commuters to Southampton and Winchester.

Agent's Note

There was some movement in the Annexe which caused cracking in the walls. An insurance claim and investigation has been completed. Vegetation was removed that was thought to have added to the shrinkage to the ground, causing the rotation and cracking. This was then monitored for a period of time, and has a Certificate of Structural Adequacy. The Annexe was then fully redecorated and floored with new kitchen and new shower room.
