Full Details for 6 Bedroom Detached for sale in Ringwood, BH24 :
A six bedroom Victorian/Edwardian detached country house offering well-appointed accommodation with many period features. Located in a much desired hamlet within the New Forest, the property comes to the market for the first time in 34 years.
Situated in a country lane, some three miles east of the market town of Ringwood, Hampshire, the property enjoys direct access to the New Forest, offering opportunities for equestrian and other countryside activities, whilst enjoying privacy, and thereby security, in a land area approaching three acres.
The house is set in a traditional heritage garden with sweeping lawns, formal gardens and fruit trees, with a large vegetable plot (also available for other purposes), all complemented by a natural woodland.
Internally the property has been meticulously maintained by the present owners, who have carefully nurtured its original structure whilst improving its facilities to meet modern standards, and now offers well-appointed accommodation in keeping with its historical background.
As a family home, Shobley House is warm, light and welcoming, and very rare to find in the present property market. Equally it also offers ideal facilities for social and business entertaining with its accommodation, dining facilities, lawned areas and ample secure car parking. The substantial annexe lends itself to a variety of uses, for business, leisure and family purposes.
After living there for 34 years, Shobley House is now reluctantly offered for sale by the present owners through their sole Agents, Arlington & Hall.
Location
The property is ideally located in an area of outstanding natural beauty within comfortable driving distance of Southampton, Winchester, Salisbury, Christchurch, Bournemouth, and Poole, and the internationally acclaimed beaches and marinas of the English south coast. There is easy access further afield via the motorway network, easily reached from Shobley.
There is a 1-hour fast train service to Waterloo from Southampton and the two regional airports of Hurn and Southampton for European and connecting international flights. The two ferry ports of Portsmouth and Poole offer easy access to mainland Europe and the Channel Islands.
The property is offered freehold and, subject to Contract, is available immediately with the current owners having an alternative property to occupy, and therefore suited.
Agents Note: We have a drone video and further photographs available to interested parties.

The lawns gently sweep towards the rear boundary enveloping around two sides of the house.

Well kept and maintained trees include mature Camellias, Eucalyptus, Oak, Conifer and mature Palm Tree. Set aside from the formal gardens are around two acres of wild garden of which the current owners have cleverly made a path from which to enjoy the various species of flora.
