DESCRIPTION AND CONSTRUCTION
36 College Road was originally built in 1931 to traditional standards, with an Edwardian style appearance, by Barrow Brothers, local Ringwood builders of high repute. The property was subsequently extended in 1934 to provide an additional bedroom on the first floor. The present owner moved into the property in 1976 & has subsequently maintained & improved the property, retaining much of its original charm & character. The main roof was retiled in 2010. The property has spacious accommodation set on 3 levels & offers immense versatility with 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms & 4 reception rooms. The gardens are a particular feature having been landscaped & meticulously maintained.
