DESCRIPTION AND CONSTRUCTION:
Heronsbrook was originally built in the 1927 to traditional standards and has remained within the same family ever since. This is the first time the property has ever come to the market. The entire roof of the bungalow was replaced in May 2022 with a 25 year guarantee for the work completed. The property may be classified as a small dwelling therefore enlargement of the existing floor area will need to be discussed in detail with the New Forest National Park planning authority. The configuration of the property lends itself to retain much of its original charm and character and benefit from the idyllic rural setting.

Agents Note:- In our opinion, to fully appreciate the stunning location and the character of the property, a viewing is highly recommended.

SITUATION:
Heronsbrook is delightfully set in this unique rural location within the boundaries of the New Forest National Park yet level walking distance of local facilities at Poulner. These include an infant and junior school, Tesco’s convenience store and sub post office, doctors, pharmacy, vet, dentist plus a local bus route providing a link to the market town centre of Ringwood, which offers a weekly street market in addition to comprehensive shopping, leisure and educational facilities. The A31 and A338 provide links to the main centres of Bournemouth (12 miles), Southampton (16 miles) and Salisbury (18 miles). The cattle grid into the main part of the National Park is within two thirds of a mile.

DIRECTIONAL NOTE:
From the main Ringwood roundabout, adjacent to the town centre car park, leave in an easterly direction along the old Southampton Road passing Carvers recreation field. Continue over the dual-carriageway flyover and at the second mini roundabout, adjacent to the White Hart Inn, take the first exit onto Gorley Road. Continue for approximately one mile, passing Poulner infant and junior school, along the Gorley Road, taking the right hand fork to cross over the Lin Brook ford. Take the immediate turning right whereupon Heronsbrook is a short distance along the lane on the right hand side.
