Description

A rare riverside country retreat! A particularly attractive and wonderfully secluded parcel of land extending to approximately 12 acres, occupying a peaceful riverside position on the edge of the beautiful Bickerley Millstream, part of the River Avon at Ringwood.

The Land

The land comprises approximately 2 acres of open field and paddock, complemented by around 10 acres of mature riverside woodland, creating an exceptional natural environment rich in wildlife and offering a rare sense of privacy and tranquillity. Surrounded by nature, the property provides an opportunity to escape the pace of modern life and enjoy a truly peaceful rural setting, whilst remaining conveniently close to the historic market town of Ringwood. The town offers an excellent selection of independent shops, restaurants, cafés, traditional pubs and everyday amenities. The combination of open meadow, woodland and river frontage creates a wonderfully varied landscape, with an abundance of wildlife and ever-changing seasonal interest.

A Unique Opportunity

An increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a substantial parcel of riverside countryside in an attractive and accessible location, offering considerable appeal for those seeking a private rural retreat, recreational land, equestrian use, conservation interest or a long-term investment, subject always to any necessary planning permissions and consents.

Agents Note: The land is situated within an area that is subject to seasonal flooding, and parts of the property do flood during the winter months. Prospective purchasers are advised to make their own enquiries regarding flood risk, access, land use and any required consents prior to purchase.

Directions

From Ringwood, head south on the A35 Christchurch Road towards Christchurch. Pass David Lloyd Leisure Centre and turn right in Moortown onto Hampshire Hatches Lane. Follow the lane to the ford and car park. Cross the river via the pedestrian bridge or in a high-clearance 4x4, then continue along the track for approximately 150 metres. The field gate is on the right.
