A 3-bedroom home conveniently located for the town centre with partially refurbished accommodation and scope for further improvement and updating.
A 3-bedroom semi-detached home conveniently located close to the town centre with the benefit of a sizeable rear garden. A programme of improvement has been commenced, which included the creation of a spacious, open plan kitchen/dining room to the rear of the house and the installation of a tasteful replacement kitchen, but there remains scope for further improvement and modernisation according to personal taste and requirement. Subject to securing relevant planning permission, there may well be potential to extend the house and further enhance the accommodation. The house sits to the front of a generous plot and the west-facing rear garden is an excellent feature of the house.
Picket Close lies a convenient walking distance to the north of the town centre, within easy reach of the amenities therein. The location also allows ready access to Fordingbridge Infants & Junior School and Burgate Secondary School & Sixth Form and public bus links on nearby Salisbury Street and Salisbury Road.

For those seeking a balance between a 'work-from-home' and office-based environment, communications in the area are excellent. The local road network draws the regional centres of Salisbury, Bournemouth and Southampton within striking distance. There are mainline rail services from Salisbury and Southampton Parkway (90 minutes and 71 minutes respectively) to London Waterloo and international airports at Southampton and Bournemouth. The X3 bus stops on near-by Salisbury Road and Salisbury Street, providing a regular service between Salisbury, Ringwood and Bournemouth.
Those seeking outdoor pursuits will undoubtedly be satisfied by the wonderful location and New Forest National Park is approximately 2 miles to the East. There is a choice of local golf and angling clubs in the vicinity and sailing opportunities abound on the South Coast and at Spinnaker Sailing Club at Blashford Lakes, near Ringwood.
To the front is off road parking space for one vehicle flanked by a lawned garden that could offer scope for the creation of further parking if required. A gated pedestrian access to the side of the house supplies access to a brick built STORE and the rear garden. A generous patio immediately adjoins the rear of the house, beyond which is a sizeable expanse of lawn that benefits from a westerly aspect, ensuring a good level of afternoon sunlight.
