5 bedroom house

***NO FORWARD CHAIN*** An impressive five bedroom detached country house, set in approximately 4 acres of parkland gardens with views of the surrounding countryside. This desirable 1930’s home offers tremendous potential to extend STPP and is approached by a  long sweeping drive and has the benefit of nearby access to the New Forest.

The property is situated in a semi-rural location within the New Forest National Park, offering thousands of acres of natural heath and woodland, ideal for walking, cycling and horse riding. The property is within the Ringwood School catchment area. Ringwood is approximately one mile distant, offering a comprehensive range of shops and facilities. This old market town is positioned on the edge of the New Forest, yet is just ten minutes drive to the coast and also has easy access to the A31, with London, Southampton and Winchester in one direction and Bournemouth in the other. It is an increasingly popular destination for home hunters; the old cattle market has been transformed into a stylish shopping quarter with names such as Aga, Hobbs, Joules, Waitrose and Waterstones, and a programme of events that includes live music and farmers’ markets. The adjacent high street has retained its character, with a traditional weekly market and a selection of independents, a new artisan bakery, and a variety of decent eateries such as Framptons and Noisy Lobster. Families are attracted by the sense of community and highly regarded secondary school (its sixth form provision rated ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted). For commuters the A338 provides a link to the larger coastal towns of Bournemouth and Christchurch (approximately 10 miles), and the city of Salisbury (approximately 18 miles).
