Property Description

Council tax band: B.

A fantastic location, within a conservation area in thevery heart of Ringwood Town Centre, private allocated parking and a fantastic,enclosed and walled garden, are just a few features of this breath-taking, character cottage that has been extensively & tastefully improved andextended by the current owner, creating one of the finest homes of this stylewe have seen.

Formerly a pair of cottages with a long history ofbeing various retail shops (including an electrical/hardware shop andphotographic studio), they were sympathetically converted into a singledwelling, creating ‘The Studio’ at 58-60 Christchurch Road. In 2007 the currentowner was lucky enough to be able to buy The Studio, choosing it because of itsincredibly convenient position, knowing he could make it a unique and beautifulhome, with both spacious and flexible accommodation. He has successfully retained many of its original features, combining them with a modern twist.

The first floor lies host to a generous landing, threebedrooms (one with a fireplace) and a contemporary style family bathroom with naturaltravertine marble finishing. The master bedroom has its own private en-suite showerroom.

The ground floor has been carefully re-configured,creating a flowing, sociable space. The sitting room has beamed ceilings and a log burner, whilst the formal dining room aslo has original beamed ceilings.

The kitchen/breakfast room opens out into the gardenand has been designed to make the best use of the space on offer. It is fittedin a range of sage coloured shaker style units with contrasting oak worktopsand tiled splashbacks. Built in appliances include a Butler style sink, winecooler, dishwasher and range style cooker, finished off with natural limestoneflooring that extends into the dining room. Adjoining the kitchen is a usefulutility room and downstairs cloakroom/WC.

This stylish property further benefits from gas centralheating and efficient, high quality double glazing.

The rear garden enjoys a sunny westerly aspect,measuring around 45 foot (max) in length. It is completely enclosed by brickwalls, making a wonderful, peaceful space in which to entertain and relax. Itoffers unexpected levels of privacy and seclusion, with a sandstone paved terracewhich can be accessed by casement doors from the kitchen/breakfast room. Thisterrace leads to a well-kept area of raised lawn, a raised planter with gardenlighting and a path that leads to the end of the garden where two large andvery useful outbuildings can be found. One is a large barn/storage space whichcould be converted (subject to consent), the other is a studio/office and couldpotentially become ancillary accommodation.

Access out onto Christchurch Road is via a secure andprivate alley with doors at either end.

Conveyed in the sale is a generous covered parkingspace (located in Eynon Mews which is 50 yards away). The seller informs usthis is on a long lease which we believe is more than 100 years.
