SITUATION This exclusive area is within a highly sought after area of Ashley Heath among some diverse and exclusive residential homes situated on the outskirts of the market town of Ringwood. The area offers easy access to commuter routes which include the A31 to Southampton, Winchester and London and the A338 to Bournemouth and Poole. Ashley Heath High Street is within easy reach and reputedly the shortest high street in England and so too is a local convenience store.

From an enclosed entrance porch there is a further casement door that leads into a good sized entrance hall which accommodates a large cloaks cupboard. Interconnecting doors give access to the principal rooms, staircase and to a spacious downstairs cloakroom. The reception rooms on the ground floor offer an open plan lay out and therefore have plenty of natural light with large picture windows and double glazed patio doors to the rear. The reception rooms are an impressive size offering plenty of room for sofa suites and dining room table and chairs with lots to spare. Off the dining area is a walk through to the kitchen/breakfast room as well as the door from the main entrance hall and is well fitted with a range of base level cupboards and drawers under roll top work surfaces, including a selection of wall mounted units and glass display cabinets. The kitchen offers a built in double oven and an inset four ring gas hob with built in extractor over. There is a built in larder cupboard to one corner of the kitchen and there is ample space for table and chairs and an upright fridge freezer. Off the kitchen/breakfast room is a separate utility room which houses the gas fired boiler and is fitted with a base level unit accommodating space and plumbing for a washing machine. From the utility there is a double glazed door which offers access to the side of the house and then to the garage. From the entrance hall a split level half landing offers access to the first floor landing. On the lower level landing there is access to bedroom four and then onto the main landing. Off the main landing there are oak fitted doors to the bedrooms and bathrooms, a large airing cupboard and loft access. The next bedroom on the first floor really should count for two bedrooms due to its size but careful planning when replacing the double glazed windows offers the option for an en-suite to be added and a dressing room area. Along the landing at the other end of the house is bedroom three and the master bedroom. The master bedroom is extremely generous in size and offers a large recess for wardrobes and a modern upright radiator. This bedroom has a large picture double glazed window to rear aspect and a good size adjoining shower room en-suite.

A tarmacadam driveway offers double width parking to the attached double garage. The double garage benefits from an electric up and over door. Within the garage are the meters and consumer unit and a UPVC double glazed door which opens to the side of the property and door from the utility.
