Parsonage Barn Lane, Ringwood, BH24

Character and modern family living come together beautifully at this four or five bedroom detached home, where an attractive oak canopy porch sets the tone for a house that feels both welcoming and individual.

The entrance hall provides a practical introduction, with the staircase rising to the first floor and doors leading to the principal ground floor rooms. Beneath the stairs is a cloakroom with WC and pedestal basin, alongside a double storage cupboard providing useful space for shoes, coats and everyday essentials.

At the front of the house, the living room retains plenty of character. A bay window draws in natural light, while a picture rail adds period detail and a wood burning stove with timber mantle creates a natural focal point, making this a particularly inviting room during the colder months.

The real heart of the home is the open plan kitchen, dining and snug area to the rear. Designed for everyday family life as much as entertaining, it is a wonderfully sociable space with wooden flooring, two side aspect windows and wide bifold doors opening directly onto the west facing rear garden. There is ample room for a full size dining table and chairs together with relaxed seating, allowing the room to work equally well for busy mornings, family meals or evenings with friends.

The kitchen itself is centred around a substantial island with solid wood worktop and an integrated wine cooler. A range of cupboards and drawers is complemented by matching wall cabinets and granite work surfaces, while a stainless steel sink sits beneath the rear window overlooking the garden. There is space for a range style cooker, American style fridge freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer.

Also accessed from the entrance hall is a versatile study or fifth bedroom. Positioned at the front of the house with its own window and concealed storage, it provides a valuable degree of flexibility for anyone working from home, accommodating guests or looking for an additional ground floor bedroom.

Upstairs, the first floor landing connects four bedrooms, the family bathroom and a separate shower room, with access also provided to the loft space.

Bedroom one is a double room at the front of the property with a bay window, while bedroom two is another double room positioned at the rear, enjoying a west facing outlook across the garden. Bedroom three is also a double bedroom with a front aspect window, and bedroom four provides a useful single bedroom, nursery or further home office.

The family bathroom is fitted with a P shaped bath with thermostatic shower above, together with a WC, pedestal basin, heated towel rail and rear opaque window.

Positioned directly opposite bedroom three, the separate shower room has an almost ensuite feel and includes a shower enclosure with thermostatic shower and rainfall shower head, WC, slimline basin, chrome heated towel rail and rear opaque window.

Outside, the west facing rear garden is a particularly appealing feature of the property. Private and mature, it has been designed to be both attractive and relatively easy to maintain, with artificial lawn bordered by raised sleeper beds containing an established variety of plants, shrubs and trees.

A timber pergola sits over a raised deck, creating an excellent spot for outdoor dining, summer drinks or simply enjoying the afternoon and evening sun. There is gated pedestrian access along the southern boundary, while a timber storage shed and barbecue area provide further practical outdoor space.

To the front, a tarmac driveway provides off road parking for several vehicles.

With its character features, flexible bedroom arrangement, impressive open plan living space and private west facing garden, this is a home particularly well suited to modern family life while retaining an individuality that sets it apart.

Living in Parsonage Barn Lane, Ringwood

Parsonage Barn Lane offers a particularly convenient Ringwood setting, putting everyday life within easy reach while still providing straightforward access to the countryside surrounding the town. Ringwood School is located on the lane itself and is currently rated Good by Ofsted, while Ringwood Junior School is also rated Good and lies close by.

Ringwood town centre provides an appealing mix of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities, together with The Furlong shopping area and the town’s long established market town atmosphere. For families, commuters and anyone wanting to leave the car at home more often, the location makes it easy to enjoy the town as part of day to day life rather than having to drive in for every errand.

One of Ringwood’s greatest attractions is the lifestyle beyond the town itself.

The A31 also provides a convenient route east towards Southampton and links onwards towards the motorway network.

For buyers wanting a family home that combines schools, town centre amenities and access to the New Forest, Parsonage Barn Lane is an especially practical place to live.
