Description
Upon walking through the front door, you are immediately greeted with a warm and well configured entrance hallway. To the front left is a deep and spacious storage cupboard that can hold plenty of equipment. As you walk down the hallway the two double bedrooms are on the righthand side. Bedroom 1 is the first which is great in size, allowing ample space for a double bed and benefitting from an integrated wardrobe and its own en-suite shower room. Bedroom 2 is next door which again is very generous in size which too has its own integrated wardrobe space. Almost opposite the bedrooms is the family bathroom, which comprises of a bathtub, shower head and basin.
As you approach the far end of the hallway you are presented with a 'Jack and Jill' style kitchen and seperate Living room. The kitchen is to the left and living room to the right with a double door going between the two rooms. The kitchen comprises of an integrated fridge freezer, oven/grill, electric hob, dishwasher and washing machine, as well as plenty of cupboard space throughout. The gas boiler is found in the kitchen. To the right is the living room where there is ample space for furniture plus a dining table which also in turn leads out onto a west facing Juliet balcony.
The popular market town of Ringwood has much to offer in the way of amenities, including numerous country pubs & restaurants, boutique shops, a David Lloyd Health & Leisure Club and is host to much sought after educational establishments. The area borders The New Forest, giving access to acres of moor, heath and woodland offering a wide range of pursuits such as cycling, walking, riding & fishing. The A31 & A338 dual carriageways provide links to the sandy coastline of Bournemouth (8 miles south), Salisbury (18 miles north) & and the M27 for Southampton (18 miles east). National Express coaches make regular trips to London and all its airports.
The development was built in 2004 by Banner Homes and consists of a three-story block of apartments and a number of cottages clustered around a lovely courtyard. The conveniently located development is next door to the doctor’s surgery and a very short walk to the town centre so while the apartment has an allocated parking space, the location is also ideal for residents who don’t have vehicle access.
The entrance to the development has an electric pedestrian gate as well as a sliding electric vehicle entrance- both require either a fob or code for access. The entrance to the block is also through a coded entrance and into the communal hallway where the post boxes are located. This apartment is on the first floor with stairs or lift access.
