A detached bungalow situated in around four acres of land,
within the stunning New Forest National Park. Benefitting from
panoramic rural views over open forest, this vacant home requires
modernisation, refurbishment and benefits from numerous
outbuildings which include barns and garaging. This property would
suit a buyer looking for a property with land for keeping animals
and to enjoy the direct access to the forest.
The Property:
After accessing the property for approximately 1 mile down Toms
Lane, there is a large driveway leading up to the front of the
property with parking for multiple vehicles. Steps lead up to a
front door that then provides access too:-
- Entrance hallway with access to
- Large Kitchen Diner with an array of wall hung cabinets and
views across the paddock land beyond
- Bathroom comprising a 3 piece suite
- Large principal bedroom (formally 2 bedrooms) benefitting from
fitted wardrobes and exquisite viewers over the garden and paddock
land beyond
- Second bedroom posing as a well proportioned double
bedroom
Adjacent to the main bungalow is a double garage complex
comprising of:-
- Double garage with up and over door
- Tack room storage room
- Utilities room
Outside there are also the following buildings:-
- Large Storage Barn
- Curved Stable Barn
- Small storage shed
Gardens and Grounds:
There is a comfortable enclosed garden benefitting from planted
bedding and a small patio area. The remainder of the space is laid
to lawn. Beyond this presents the acreage – 4 acres of sloping
paddock space, enclosed mainly by trees and hedging of neighbouring
boundaries. To the top of the acreage, some quite magnificent views
can be enjoyed.
Situation:
Ringwood offers the best of all worlds. 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. Best known as the home of Ringwood Brewery (inspiration
for the current boom in microbreweries), it is undergoing a
re-identification. 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
eateries. Families are attracted by the sense of community and
highly regarded secondary school (its sixth form provision rated
‘outstanding’ by Ofsted). There is a wide range of property from
thatched cottages, through Victorian and Edwardian villas to
tree-lined closes of homes built between the wars and every decade
from mid-century onwards. For the commuter, the cities of Salisbury
and Southampton are easily reached via the A338 and the A31 and
London is only 2 hours distant, via the M3. The larger shopping
towns of Bournemouth (10 miles south) and Southampton (20 miles
east), both with their airports are easily accessible.
Direction:
Exit Ringwood along the A338 Ringwood to Fordingbridge road.
Continue until you see the sign for Linwood. Turn right here and
continue to the end of this road, crossing the cattle grid over the
bridge and then turn left. Continue along this road heading to
Linwood. As you approach the Red Shoot on your left, turn left into
Toms Lane. Continue along this lane (don’t take the left hand fork)
go right to the end then bearing left and you will arrive at the
property.
