DESCRIPTION AND CONSTRUCTION
Brook Cottage is a Grade II Listed thatched cottage believed to date back to the mid 1700 s. The present owner has maintained the property to a very good standard, retaining much of its original charm and character incorporating an adjoining building to form a 1 bedroom self contained annexe. The thatched roof to the main cottage has been recently rethatched and the cottage is in excellent presentation throughout.

Brook Cottage is set within the heart of Ringwood centre in private well enclosed gardens totalling 0.104 of an acre, adjacent to the open area of green, known as The Bickerley. The market town centre of Ringwood is a short level walk and offers a weekly street market in addition to comprehensive shopping, leisure and educational facilities. The A31 and A338 provide road links to the main centres of Bournemouth 12 miles , Southampton 16 miles and Salisbury 18 miles . The open New Forest is within 2 miles distance.

At the first mini roundabout, adjacent to Greyfriars community centre, bear left onto the Christchurch Road.
