The property was once a bed and breakfast and might offer HOME & INCOME POTENTIAL. Overall approx. 3000 SQUARE FEET.

This charming Victorian home has an enclosed open brickwork porch which leads to the spacious entrance hall which has an under stairs cupboard and beautiful original tiled flooring.

The kitchen/breakfast room offers an abundance of base and wall mounted units with solid wood worksurfaces, an integrated dishwasher, a Rangemaster style oven and hob (available by separate negotiation) inset within the chimney breast, with metro styled splash backs and tiled flooring and access through to the inner hallway which has an external door to the rear garden and opens through to the utility room with space and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer.

To the front of the property are two reception rooms, the sitting room with an attractive bay window overlooking the front garden and the dining room with French doors also opening onto the front garden with a small, covered veranda.

Bedrooms five and six are on the ground floor, with a Jack & Jill shower room with traditional white pedestal wash hand basin, WC and a large walk in shower cubicle. These rooms are currently used as a library and study.

The first floor landing is beautifully bright and light, with four further bedrooms, three of which benefit from en-suites and one with access through an inner hallway to a family bathroom/wc. Bedrooms two and three have stunning views over the meadows and farmland to the front.

The popular market town of Ringwood has much to offer in the way of amenities, including numerous country pubs & restaurants, boutique shops, a David Lloyd Health & Leisure Club and is host to much sought after educational establishments. The area borders The New Forest, giving access to acres of moor, heath and woodland offering a wide range of pursuits such as cycling, walking, riding & fishing. The A31 & A338 dual carriageways provide links to the sandy coastline of Bournemouth (8 miles south), Salisbury (18 miles north) & and the M27 for Southampton (18 miles east). National Express coaches make regular trips to London and all its airports.

The house itself is set back from the road, enjoying an elevated position.

To the front lies a tarmac driveway leading to an extended graveled parking area and access to the covered car port and detached garage at the rear, with power, lighting and a mezzanine storage area.

Subject to planning this might have potential to create an air bnb or annexe and there might even be potential for a plot although this is not guaranteed and our clients won’t consider option agreements. There is a useful shed and storage area to the side and rear of the garage.

The front garden is enclosed with mature hedging and an area of lawn and trees. The gardens to the rear are well established with mature hedging and a large expanse of lawn, a patio and a brick store room.
