The Land

The land comprises approximately 2 acres of open field and paddock, complemented by around 6 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 subject to reserved exclusive shooting and sporting rights, together with exclusive fishing rights over the Millstream and associated rights of way and access for the enjoyment of those rights. 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 4×4, then continue along the track for approximately 150 metres. The field gate is on the right.

Living in Ringwood

Ringwood offers the best of all worlds. This old market town is positioned on the edge of the New Forest, yet is just ten minutes drive to the coast and also has easy access to the A31, with London, Southampton and Winchester in one direction and Bournemouth in the other.

It is an increasingly popular destination for home hunters. Best known as the home of Ringwood Brewery (inspiration for the current boom in microbreweries), it is undergoing a re-identification. The old cattle market has been transformed into a stylish shopping quarter with names such as Aga, Hobbs, Joules, Waitrose and Waterstones, and a programme of events that includes live music and farmers’ markets. The adjacent high street has retained its character, with a traditional weekly market and a selection of independents, a new artisan bakery, and a variety of decent eateries such as Framptons and Noisy Lobster.

Families are attracted by the sense of community and highly regarded secondary school (its sixth form provision rated ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted). There is a wide range of property from thatched cottages, through Victorian and Edwardian villas to tree-lined closes of homes built between the wars and every decade from mid-century onwards.

To the north are the quieter, untouched reaches of the Forest and larger country houses. To the west Ringwood is bounded by the River Avon and Avon Castle, a private estate of big, individual, contemporary properties in large plots, many with views across the water meadows. Avon Castle appeals to those looking for privacy and seclusion, and also attracts people moving from London in search of country life combined with contemporary living.
