3 Bedroom Semi-Detached

Christchurch Road, Ringwood, BH24

Description

A beautifully presented and deceptively spacious character cottage in the heart of Ringwood town centre, with private parking, a stunning walled garden and excellent outbuilding potential. Dating back to the 1750’s and set within a conservation area, this charming home was originally two cottages and has since been thoughtfully combined and extended. The current owner has significantly improved the property, carefully balancing retained period features with a more modern, practical layout.

The property is conveniently situated within walking distance of the historic market town of Ringwood, excellent local schools and the David Lloyd leisure centre. Ringwood is situated on the edge of the Avon Valley and the New Forest National Park and offers a superb range of independent and high street shops, boutiques, cafes and restaurants. The easily accessible A338 provides a direct route to the larger coastal towns of Bournemouth and Christchurch (approximately 8 miles south), and to the city of Salisbury (approximately 18 miles north), and the A31 links to Southampton (approximately 18 miles east via the M27) and London, approximately two hours distant (via the M3 & M25). There are international airports at both Southampton and Bournemouth linking to many European destinations.

The ground floor has a great flow, making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. There’s a cosy sitting room with exposed beams and a log burner, alongside a second reception room that works equally well as a dining room or additional living space.

To the rear, the kitchen/breakfast room is a standout feature, opening directly onto the garden. Fitted with shaker-style units, oak worktops and limestone flooring, it’s a bright and sociable space with integrated appliances including a range cooker, dishwasher and wine cooler. A separate utility room and downstairs WC add to the practicality.

Upstairs, the accommodation is well arranged around a generous landing. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive — a spacious and calm retreat with its own en-suite shower room, giving it a real “suite” feel. Two further bedrooms are served by a well-finished family bathroom.

The rear garden is a real highlight, extending to around 45ft and enjoying a sunny westerly aspect. Fully enclosed by brick walls, it offers a high degree of privacy and a peaceful setting. A sandstone terrace leads onto a raised lawn with planted borders and lighting, creating a great space to relax or entertain.

At the far end of the garden are two substantial outbuildings. One is a large barn/store with clear potential for conversion, while the other is a studio/office. Together, they offer excellent scope for creating an annexe, guest accommodation or a more permanent work-from-home setup, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
