Ossemsley Manor occupies a rural location surrounded by privately owned farmland and woodland. The bustling coastal town of New Milton is situated approximately 3 miles south east and offers a diverse range of facilities together with a useful mainline rail station (London/Waterloo). The priory town of Christchurch with it‘s renowned harbour is some 5 miles south west, whilst miles of open forest lie to the north and east. The A35 (approximately 1mile east) crosses the forest connecting the coastal resort of Bournemouth with Southampton and in turn the M27/M3 motorway network.

Built in 1908, Ossemsley Manor was converted to its current form in 1982, providing a total of nine apartments. The property benefits from many traditional Edwardian features such as high ceilings and full height windows.

The property is approached via a communal hallway with stairs leading up to the first floor enjoying views over the grounds and farmland beyond. Upon entering the property, a spacious reception hallway leads to all rooms as well as a useful cloak cupboard and access to useful loft space.

To the left is the principal reception room with a stunning bay window with automatic blinds and a built-in window seat allowing the room to be flooded with natural light. Engineered wood flooring flows throughout the room and leads you through to the recently renovated kitchen. Carefully designed with attention to detail, this kitchen offers two distinct workspace areas with integrated fridge freezer, a separate tap and base and wall mounted cupboards for storage to one side. To the other, a 4 ring induction hob with extractor over, Neff oven, dishwasher, sink and further cupboard space complete the kitchen as well as space for a breakfast table. To the other side of the entrance hall and at the far end is the impressive master bedroom with feature panelled wall, two built in full height wardrobes and a large window to the side. Adjoining the room is a modern en-suite incorporating his and her sinks with mirror over and shelving below, bath with shower over and WC. The property further benefits from two further good-sized bedrooms serviced by a modern family shower room with walk in shower, sink with mirror over and WC. All rooms benefit from under floor heating (except the master bedroom and hallway) and an airing cupboard completes the property.
