Anyone craving an escape to the countryside, look no further than this quaint cottage in Ringwood, just a stone’s throw from the New Forest National Park, the ultimate peaceful escape for couples and families. This picturesque countryside spot is a playground for keen outdoor explorers, with the ancient heathland and woodland of the breathtaking New Forest National Park awaiting to be explored just half a mile from the doorstep. Venture to the historic market town of Ringwood, which boasts gorgeous Georgian buildings, a fabulous weekly street market brimming with local produce and a wonderfully charming old-world atmosphere. Enjoy a traditional bucket and spade day at Poole, 18 miles away on the Dorset coast, home to miles of gloriously golden sands, and Poole Harbour, the second largest natural harbour in the world. Alternatively, the coastal haven of Bournemouth is 12 miles away.
Through a traditional stable door, you’re welcomed into the spacious yet cosy open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner at the heart of this bolthole. Boasting a striking exposed brick wall and stunning original beams, this wonderfully social space combines homely, rustic touches with contemporary country cottage-style decor that embraces the scenic surrounding countryside. The comfortable sofas and farmhouse-style dining table provide plenty of space to relax at the end of a busy day’s adventure; the sofa can be converted into a bed to accommodate an additional two guests. A wide hallway leads to the stylish shower room, which features a large glass-sided walk-in shower that is wheelchair friendly. With more exposed brickwork and a characterful sloping ceiling, the peaceful king-size bedroom offers a haven of tranquillity to retreat to and crisp, white linens ensure a restful sleep.
A traditional stable door provides access to the rear patio, which is a suntrap and ideal for enjoying a spot of al fresco dining on sunny afternoons and summer evenings. The hot tub is the perfect spot to sit back, relax, and watch the wildlife. There is private parking for one car at the cottage.
