Ringwood Road, Avon

Offered at auction, this Grade II listed farmhouse is set in a private courtyard on 2.60 acres beside the River Avon. The house is believed to be more than 300 years old and has five bedrooms, period features and views over the surrounding countryside. Its ground-floor accommodation includes a reception hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, study, sun room and WC. Upstairs are the principal bedroom with dressing room and en-suite, four further bedrooms, a second en-suite and a family bathroom. A range of traditional outbuildings surrounds the courtyard. The listing states that Lake View barn has full planning permission for conversion to a three-bedroom dwelling and The Stable has consent for a two-bedroom annexe. Other buildings include the Archway Barn, Coach House and Cow Sheds, with further potential subject to the necessary consents. The farmhouse and outbuildings are Grade II listed, so any works will need to be considered in that context. Approved plans are referenced on the New Forest District Council planning portal under 23/10037. The grounds include a private lake, mature planting and established boundaries, with the River Avon running along part of the site. The property is around 4.5 miles from Ringwood and Christchurch. The listing notes mains water and electricity, shared private drainage, oil-fired central heating, ultrafast broadband and mobile coverage. It also flags the Green Belt, proximity to a SSSI, aircraft flight paths and a shared sewerage system that may not meet current regulations. A separate two-to-three-bedroom cottage is available as another lot.
