Property Description

Spacious, versatile family home set within gardens and grounds of around 2 acres with pool, pool house and direct forest access. This much loved family home offers scope for modernisation and great access links for the commuter.

Heather Acres is a large spacious family home of over 3600 square feet and set within grounds of around 2 acres- this is the first time the property has been on the sales market for nearly 30 years! This much loved family home has great access links for the commuter while being just a short drive to Ringwood Town centre and also benefits from direct forest access. A long, flowing, hedge and tree lined driveway leads off the A31 giving glimpses of the gardens and grounds along the way and arrives at the parking area for multiple vehicles. Steps lead up to the front door and into the entrance hall, where there is a feature, solid wooden staircase.

The kitchen is a spacious room with many solid wood, cottage style units. There is space for a dishwasher, a fridge/freezer and a reallyuseful larder which offers additional kitchen storage. The utility room has a stable door, sink, space for    laundry appliances, a new vaillant gas boiler, water tank and even more storage units. Opposite the utility is the ground floor wc and a rear door giving access to the garden, pool house and pool.

The dual aspect sitting room has two extremely large windows and sliding patio doors overlooking the mature gardens. This is a sizeable room with ample space for relaxed seating and a dining table if required. The office is located to the rear of the lounge with a view over the garden and offers the flexibility to be used as a bedroom, snug or playroom.

The ground floor bathroom has a shower over the bath and matching white suite. The final room on the ground floor shares the same versatility as the office and benefits from patio sliding doors out to the garden and windows overlooking the front and back, providing the room with a generous amount of natural light.

The feature staircase rises to the spacious landing which allows enough space to house a reading chair or small desk.

Bedrooom one enjoys windows on every side and    exposed wooden floorboards, bringing character and style to the room. The remaining three bedrooms are all generous doubles, with bedroom three having a triple aspect and bedroom four overlooking the rear garden and both benefitting from access into the jack and Jill bathroom. Bedroom three also has built in wardrobes and a door to the adjoining balcony. Bedroom two boasts a generous size and a double aspect over the rear gardens.
The pool house is, as with the rest of the property a very generous space that can be utilised in many ways and currently houses a log burner, seating area and shower room- please see floorplan. The pool and outside facilities are a wonderful addition to the home and create a great family and leisure centre, which is ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining. We are told the gardens and grounds are approaching 2 acres, which includes outbuildings (with light and power), the pool, pool house, a large greenhouse, wooded area, parking for many vehicles and direct forest access.
