Cherry Bank is situated on a no-through lane leading to the open forest, with Ogdens being one of several peaceful hamlets in the vicinity that populate the upper North West corner of the New Forest National Park. The neighbouring villages of Frogham and North Gorley are both home to popular public houses, and there is a reputable primary school in near-by Hyde which overlooks the village Common and cricket pitch, and the popular cafe, The Potting Shed, with a village store. The Avonside town of Fordingbridge (approximately 2 miles) offers a range of educational, recreational and health facilities to cater for everyday needs. Communications to the wider area are good. The A338 provides a convenient route to Salisbury, Ringwood and Bournemouth and the B3078 crosses the forest to link with Junction 1 of the M27 for Southampton and beyond. Airports are located at Bournemouth and Southampton and direct rail services run from all three principle centres to London Waterloo. The outdoor enthusiast is equally well catered for and with the New Forest quite literally on the doorstep some wonderful walking, riding, running, and cycling opportunities are to hand.

The property has a 5 bar gate entrance onto a brick pavioured frontage providing parking for several vehicles, log storage and hedged/shrubbed frontage with a separate pedestrian access to one side.

The GARDEN is mainly to the rear and landscaped in attractive areas with a sheltered patio and decking with raised beds and steps leading onto lawns flanked by attractive flower/shrub borders, a pergola accessing a vegetable bed with greenhouse. Beyond this is a 3 box STABLE BLOCK of timber construction with light and power connected and a concrete apron. The whole is enclosed by recently erected fencing.
