Lions Lane, Ashley Heath, BH24

Set within the leafy surrounds of Ashley Heath, this beautifully proportioned two bedroom apartment at Heather Grange offers space, light and a sense of calm that is often missing from modern developments. With Lyons Lane quite literally on your doorstep, morning walks through Moors Valley or across Avon Heath become part of everyday life rather than a weekend treat.

The entrance hall immediately sets the tone. Generous in size and thoughtfully arranged, it provides access to all principal rooms along with loft storage and two substantial cupboards, one housing the pressurised hot water cylinder and boiler with slatted shelving, the other ideal for coats, cleaning equipment and everyday essentials. There is also a telephone entry system and an alarm, adding reassurance to comfort.

The living room is a wonderfully inviting space. Double aspect and filled with natural light, it features two Juliet balconies with French doors to the front and a further side window. There is ample room for deep sofas and a proper dining table, making this a sociable setting for relaxed evenings or hosting friends after a day in the forest. It feels open yet private, bright yet cosy.

The kitchen is both elegant and practical. Granite worktops complement a comprehensive range of base and wall cabinets, while integrated appliances include an electric oven, gas hob with extractor, microwave, dishwasher and upright fridge freezer. A one and a half bowl stainless steel sink sits beneath a side window, and there is space for a small breakfast table, perfect for morning coffee before the day begins.

Both bedrooms are genuine doubles overlooking the front gardens. Bedroom one benefits from two built in double wardrobes and a fully tiled ensuite shower room with corner shower, vanity unit, heated towel rail and opaque side window. Bedroom two also enjoys a built in wardrobe and easy access to the fully tiled main bathroom, complete with panelled bath, vanity unit, heated towel rail and a Velux roof window that draws in soft natural light.

Outside, the development is approached via a block paved driveway leading to a rear parking area where the apartment has its own allocated space, in addition to visitor parking. Communal gardens are laid mainly to lawn and framed by mature rhododendrons, pine trees and well stocked borders, creating a peaceful green backdrop. There is also an allocated timber storage shed, screened bin storage and an outside water tap.

For those seeking a secure, low maintenance home in a prime Ashley Heath setting, moments from Ringwood and the open New Forest, this apartment delivers the perfect balance of comfort, convenience and lifestyle.

Living in Lions Lane, Ashley Heath

Life on Lions Lane carries a certain ease. This is Ashley Heath at its most appealing, where tall pines line the road, gardens feel generous and the pace of life slows to something altogether more civilised.

Step outside and you are moments from Moors Valley Country Park, a place woven into daily routine for many local residents. Early morning dog walks beneath the trees, cycle rides through forest trails and coffee by the lake become part of ordinary life. Avon Heath is equally close, offering wide open heathland skies and the kind of sunsets that remind you why people choose the New Forest in the first place.

Despite its peaceful setting, Lyons Lane is remarkably well connected. Ringwood town centre is just a short drive away, providing independent shops, cafés, restaurants and the essential Waitrose. The A31 is easily accessible, linking you swiftly to Bournemouth’s award winning coastline, Southampton, Winchester and onward to London. For those travelling further afield, both Bournemouth and Southampton airports are within comfortable reach.

Families appreciate the well regarded local schools, while those seeking leisure and wellbeing have golf courses, health clubs and equestrian facilities close by. Yet what truly defines Ashley Heath is its sense of space. There is room to breathe here. Roads are quiet, neighbours know one another and the surrounding landscape feels like an extension of your own garden.
