The Situation

Charing Close is quietly positioned within Ringwood, a highly sought-after market town on the edge of the New Forest. The town centre is within comfortable walking distance and provides an excellent range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities.

Ringwood is particularly well regarded for its excellent schooling, with a number of highly regarded primary and secondary schools within the surrounding area. The town also enjoys excellent transport connections, with the A31 providing convenient access towards Bournemouth, Southampton and the wider motorway network.

The New Forest National Park is also readily accessible, offering an outstanding range of opportunities for walking, cycling and riding, while the south coast is within easy reach.

Outside

The property is approached over a generous driveway providing ample off-road parking and leading to the detached double garage. The garage benefits from twin up-and-over doors, together with power and lighting, and also has a useful side access door.

The gardens have been thoughtfully designed with ease of maintenance in mind, incorporating paved areas and artificial lawn, providing an attractive and practical outdoor environment with space for seating and entertaining. An outside tap and external lighting are also provided.

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.
