PROPERTY INFORMATION This 3 bedroom bungalow has a lot to offer and a great deal of potential. Set on a large plot, there is room for extending. The boarded loft is a good size and would be ideal for conversion into additional rooms. There are endless possibilities for reconfiguring the current layout if desired. The bungalow benefits from a very efficient log burner as well as gas central heating throughout. The current owner finds the log burner heats the whole house sufficiently without the need for using the central heating. The property is double glazed, and there is cavity wall insulation, keeping the bungalow warm in winter and cool in the summer.

Outside the garage, carport and summerhouses are a useful addition.
The property is set in a popular area of Holbury and has schools, shops and amenities close by. There are good transport links to Hythe, Southampton & beyond, and the new Forest National Park, and the local beaches of Lepe and Calshot are a short drive away.
