Middleton Road, Ringwood, Hampshire, BH24

A charming and beautifully presented detached 4/5 bedroom Edwardian home, believed to date back to circa 1905. The property has been thoughtfully updated and extended by the current owners, creating a comfortable and practical family home while retaining much of its original character and period appeal.

The accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance hall featuring Amtico flooring, part-panelled walls and useful understairs storage. Period-style internal doors have been fitted throughout the ground and first floors, which maintains the character of the home.

The principal reception room is an impressive space, featuring a period cast iron fireplace and French doors opening directly onto the rear garden. The current owners use part of this room as a dining area, making it a flexible and sociable living space. There is also a second reception room to the front of the house, which could be a 5th bedroom, TV room or separate sitting room, complete with fireplace.

To the rear is a generous open-plan kitchen/breakfast room fitted with a range of modern base, wall and drawer units, complemented by contemporary work surfaces and a useful breakfast bar. Integrated appliances include a range-style cooker with stainless steel extractor, integrated fridge and Bosch dishwasher. The breakfast area provides ample space for a table and chairs, with Amtico flooring and French doors opening onto the patio and garden.

A separate utility room offers plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, together with the gas boiler and a sink. A cloakroom with a modern white suite completes the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor, the landing leads to four bedrooms, three of which benefit from fitted bedroom furniture. Three of the bedrooms also retain original fireplaces, adding further period charm. The principal bedroom benefits from a stylish en suite shower room with Italian limestone tiling, oversized shower enclosure and built-in storage. There is also a modern family bathroom with a white three-piece suite, including a panelled bath with shower attachment and screen, together with quality Italian limestone tiled walls.

Garden and Grounds

To the front of the property is a brick paviour driveway providing parking for a couple of vehicles.

A side gate leads through to the enclosed and private rear garden, which features a neat lawn, patio area adjoining the rear of the house and a pathway to one side. The garden is well stocked with established planting, including ornamental trees and shrubs such as magnolia and palm trees. The boundaries are formed by a combination of panel fencing, laurel and conifer hedging.

A particular feature of the garden is the superb insulated home office, currently divided to create two workstations and complete with power, lighting and heating. This could easily be opened up to form one larger space, making it ideal as a garden room, studio, hobby room or workspace. There is also an additional garden area behind the office, providing a private seating area or potential space for a hot tub.
