DESCRIPTION & CONSTRUCTION: 1 Beech Lane is an exceptional property which has been cleverly converted over the years to provide separate accommodation for 3 families, albeit the property can only be sold as one whole property. The 5 bedroom detached house is currently set up as a substantial 3 bedroom main house with an adjoining 2 bedroom home which can be easily re-converted. The 2 bedroom detached cottage in the grounds is a completely self contained property.

The advantage in having the accommodation planned in this manner is the fact it can be separated to offer multi-generational family accommodation or the benefit of providing a home with income opportunity (AirBnB etc).

The 3 properties have separate gas fired heating systems (but pay a combined electricity bill). The residential accommodation is spacious and versatile, whilst the external accommodation is equally impressive with a variety of timber garden stores, chalets, workshops and storage sheds, in addition to an undercover Wellis Rio Grande swim spa and tub adjoining, all of which is contained within the private grounds totalling 0.44 of an acre.

AGENTS NOTE: In our opinion, in order to fully appreciate the size and versatility of the property, an internal viewing is essential.

SITUATION: 1 Beech Lane is immediately accessible, via the A31 dual-carriageway, along an unadopted lane. Local facilities within the area, include the tourist attractions of Avon Heath and Moors Valley Country Parks, plus Oakdene Holiday Park. There is a local Marks & Spencer’s convenience store (within the BP petrol station) in addition to Cornerways Doctors Surgery and St Ives School. The A31 dual-carriageway provides road links to both Ferndown and Ringwood, 2 miles to the west and east plus additional access to the main centres of Bournemouth 12 miles, Southampton 16 miles and Salisbury via the A338 18 miles. Both Ringwood Forest and the New Forest National Park are also easily accessible.

DIRECTIONAL NOTE: From Ringwood leave in a westerly direction, along the main A31 dual-carriageway, towards Ferndown, proceeding through the Ashley Heath underpass and directly across the first roundabout. Continue past the St Leonards Hotel and take the immediate turning left past the entrance to Starbucks onto Beech Lane, whereupon 1 is the first property on the left hand side.
