Bridge Street, Fordingbridge SP6

** For Sale By Online Auction** Pre Auction Offers Considered**

Situated in the very heart of Fordingbridge, this beautifully refurbished and thoughtfully remodelled two-bedroom ground floor apartment offers a unique blend of character, charm and modern convenience. Located within the former doctor's surgery, Bridge Court is a distinctive building full of personality, perfectly positioned just a short stroll from the town's independent shops, cafés, bakeries, supermarket and everyday amenities. The popular recreation grounds, rugby club, playground and skate park are also within easy walking distance, making this an excellent home for a variety of buyers.

Accessed via a communal entrance shared with just one other apartment, the property immediately impresses with its individuality and welcoming feel. A spacious L-shaped entrance hallway forms the heart of the home, providing access to all principal rooms whilst enhancing the sense of space throughout.

The principal bedroom is a particularly generous double room and benefits from built-in wardrobes as well as two useful storage cupboards. The second bedroom offers excellent flexibility as a guest room, home office or hobby room and enjoys direct access to the private courtyard garden through double-glazed patio doors.

A practical utility room provides a dedicated space for laundry appliances, helping to keep the main living areas uncluttered and organised.

The apartment truly comes into its own within the open-plan living space. Carefully redesigned by the current owner, the kitchen has been modernised to create a highly functional and attractive space, featuring extensive worktops, ample cupboard storage and a large range-style cooker with gas hob. An integrated dishwasher is included within the sale, while the layout has been cleverly opened up to maximise both workspace and storage. Characterful alcoves have also been incorporated into the design, adding further practicality and charm.

The living and dining area is bright, spacious and versatile, offering ample room for both relaxation and entertaining. From here, doors open directly onto the private courtyard garden, creating a wonderful extension of the living space during the warmer months.

The courtyard itself has been recently renovated and enjoys a fully enclosed, low-maintenance design with contemporary composite decking throughout. Offering excellent privacy, it provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining, entertaining guests or simply unwinding with a morning coffee. The garden can be accessed from both the living space and second bedroom, enhancing the property's indoor-outdoor appeal.

Completing the accommodation is a stylish modern shower room, finished to a high standard and perfectly in keeping with the quality of the refurbishment throughout the property.

Additional benefits include gas central heating, secondary glazing to the majority of windows, double-glazed patio doors, mains gas, electric, water and drainage, as well as a replacement consumer unit installed in 2023 as part of the refurbishment programme.

The property is offered with a share of freehold and benefits from a 999-year lease commencing in 2015. There is no ground rent payable, and the monthly service charge of approximately £75 includes building maintenance, insurance and contributions towards a sinking fund for future works.

The flexibility of ownership is another major advantage, with residential lettings, holiday lets and pets all permitted, subject to reasonable conditions.

Presented in excellent condition throughout and offering a rare combination of character, outdoor space and town-centre convenience, this is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a truly individual home in one of the New Forest area's most desirable market towns.

Early viewing is highly recommended.
