Orchard Gardens, Fordingbridge

SUMMARY
A private 4-bedroom home with beautiful gardens, a huge workshop, flexible living spaces, and a riverside setting - perfect for families, creatives or those working from home. Includes off-road parking, a garage conversion, and stunning outdoor space with bags of versatility.


DESCRIPTION
Privately tucked away behind secure fencing, this spacious detached home offers a rare blend of flexible accommodation, outdoor space, & useful outbuildings. With up to four bedrooms, multiple reception areas, a garden, & scope to adapt areas to suit a variety of lifestyle needs, this is a home that truly works around you.

From the front, the property presents a distinctive appearance, with red brick & timber-style cladding adding character. A private driveway sits to one side, while the front of the property has been enclosed by fencing, creating a secure & private space. Within this area lies a paved patio section-currently used as an enclosed courtyard, this space could easily be rearranged to provide additional off-road parking, should you wish to open up the fencing.

To the rear, a generous garden offers a peaceful & leafy setting, mainly laid to lawn & framed by mature trees for a high degree of privacy. A covered veranda, accessed from the living room, provides a wonderful spot to sit outdoors in all seasons. A particularly charming feature is the riverside path just beyond the garden-a stone-edged walkway shaded by trees.

One of the most notable features is the large outbuilding, which offers excellent versatility. Divided into two areas, one side is currently used as a workshop, ideal for DIY, hobbies or secure storage. The other half is open and would make a great carport or further garden room with minimal adaptation.

Kitchen 10' 4" x 9' 10" ( 3.15m x 3.00m )
The kitchen is a welcoming and well-organised space, thoughtfully laid out with a range of white shaker-style units complemented by warm wood-effect worktops. A large window above the sink allows plenty of natural light to pour in while offering a pleasant outlook.

Neutral tiling, integrated appliances, and a practical U-shaped layout make this kitchen both attractive and highly functional. There's ample storage and preparation space, ideal for everyday cooking and entertaining alike. A doorway opens directly into the adjoining dining area.

Sitting Room 16' 2" x 12' 8" ( 4.93m x 3.86m )
This welcoming living room is filled with natural light, thanks to the wide French doors that open directly onto the covered veranda and garden beyond-creating a lovely sense of indoor-outdoor living. The space is tastefully styled with ample room for seating and entertaining.

A feature fireplace with a rustic wood mantle adds a focal point and a cosy touch, perfect for relaxing evenings. Neutral walls and wood-effect flooring enhance the sense of space and brightness, while the open layout allows for flexible furniture arrangements.

Whether you're hosting guests, enjoying a quiet night in, or stepping out into the garden for al fresco dining, this room is the heart of the home.

Family Room/ Bedroom 4 14' 1" x 10' 2" ( 4.29m x 3.10m )
Currently set up as a charming family room or spare bedroom, this ground floor room offers incredible flexibility. With a large window looking onto the garden, it's a light and tranquil space that could serve a variety of purposes-be it a guest bedroom, hobby room, playroom or even a secondary living area. Its neutral styling allows for easy personalisation.

Dining Room/ Sun Room 15' 9" x 10' 2" ( 4.80m x 3.10m )
Forming part of a well-considered garage conversion, this spacious room is currently set up as a dining area, providing a bright and sociable space that seamlessly connects to the main home via the kitchen. With French doors opening onto the front patio area, this room enjoys plenty of natural light and a lovely indoor-outdoor flow-perfect for hosting meals or simply relaxing.

The ceiling with exposed beams and clear roof panels adds a sense of openness and character, while the layout offers flexibility. This space could easily lend itself to alternative uses, such as a home office, playroom, craft room or gym area, depending on your needs.

Cloakroom 

Bedroom1 12' 8" x 9' 10" ( 3.86m x 3.00m )
This spacious double bedroom enjoys a peaceful outlook through a large window that floods the room with natural light. Decorated in soft neutral tones, the room offers a calming atmosphere, perfect for rest and relaxation. There's ample space for freestanding furniture and a warm wood-effect floor that enhances the light and airy feel.

Bedroom 2 12' 1" x 9' 10" ( 3.68m x 3.00m )
A second well-proportioned double bedroom, this space also benefits from excellent natural light via a large window. Finished in a fresh white palette, the room feels bright and welcoming, with enough room for storage and furniture.

Bedroom 3 9' 8" x 6' ( 2.95m x 1.83m )
This additional bedroom is currently used as a home office, but is perfectly suited as a single bedroom. Its proportions make it ideal for a child's room, dressing room, or continued use as a study-providing valuable flexibility to suit your lifestyle needs.

Bathroom 5' 11" x 5' 6" ( 1.80m x 1.68m )
The bathroom is finished in a classic white tile design with a decorative border, creating a clean and timeless look. A panelled bathtub provides the perfect place to unwind, while a pedestal basin and low-level WC complete the suite. A large frosted window allows for plenty of natural light while maintaining privacy, and there's room to add personal touches or storage as needed. Functional and fresh, this space is ready for everyday use or easy modernisation to suit your style.

Outdoor Areas 
This distinctive detached home presents a modern, angular design with a combination of red brick and timber-style cladding to the upper elevation, offering a contemporary yet characterful exterior. Set behind a tall, dark-stained timber fence, the property enjoys a good degree of privacy from the road.

To the side, a private driveway provides off-road parking, while the front gate opens into an enclosed garden space, ideal for outdoor seating or further landscaping potential. The upper floor benefits from large windows, inviting natural light into the home. Adjacent to the property is a useful detached outbuilding, offering scope for a variety of uses.

The home boasts a range of inviting outdoor areas, perfect for both entertaining and quiet moments of retreat. A charming covered patio veranda runs along one side of the house, complete with exposed timber beams and polycarbonate roofing, offering a sheltered space to dine or unwind, whatever the weather. Surrounded by greenery and decorative touches, it's a true extension of the home's character.

To the rear, a generously sized garden awaits-mainly laid to lawn and bordered by mature hedging and trees for excellent privacy. This sunny spot provides plenty of room for outdoor furniture, children's play, or further landscaping to suit your lifestyle.

A real hidden gem lies beyond the garden: a tranquil riverside walkway, edged by stone paving and shaded by lush tree canopies. This enchanting space adds a sense of calm and connection to nature, with the gentle flow of water creating a peaceful backdrop just moments from the house.

Outbuildings 
A standout feature of this property is the exceptionally large outbuilding, offering fantastic versatility for a variety of uses. Currently divided into two distinct areas, one half is set up as a substantial workshop, ideal for hobbies, DIY enthusiasts, or even a home business requiring workspace. With ample floor space, this area provides excellent storage capacity and could easily accommodate tools, workbenches, or equipment.

The other half of the structure is more open in design and offers exciting potential to be transformed into a generous carport, providing covered parking for one or more vehicles. With minimal adjustment, this space could also be adapted into further storage, a garden studio, or even an outdoor entertaining zone.

Whether you're looking for practical workshop facilities, secure storage, or the option to customise for your own creative or professional needs, this outbuilding brings valuable extra flexibility to the property.

Parking 
To the front of the property, a fenced and gated area currently provides a private patio space, offering a secure and enclosed setting ideal for a bistro table, potted plants, or simply enjoying a sunny spot with added privacy.

However, this area also presents an opportunity for off-road parking, should a future owner wish to adapt the fencing layout. The space is large enough to comfortably accommodate a vehicle, making it a practical option for those who value additional parking alongside the existing potential carport.
