The cottage offers further scope for sympathetic modernisation.

37 Sandford is delightfully set within this rural environment enjoying open views across surrounding land owner by the Mills Estate and within 2 miles of the market town of Ringwood, which offers a weekly street market, in addition to comprehensive shopping, leisure and educational facilities.
