The property

Nestling amongst the aromatic pine trees within Avon Heath Country Park, close to the New Forest, is this delightful detached former ranger's cottage.

Furnished and equipped to a very high standard, including a woodburner in the cosy sitting room, a ground floor twin room and two further comfortable bedrooms upstairs, this Ringwood cottage benefits from a large enclosed garden, with forest views from the bedrooms, a great viewing platform for deer watching!

This Ringwood cottage has direct access to large areas of heathland and swathes of purple heather, an attractive well-managed habitat for many rare species of animal and plant life, which are criss-crossed by over 2 miles of designated walking and cycle trails.

Visitors to this Ringwood cottage are welcome to participate in the calendar of organised events and use the numerous park facilities, including a children's play area and visitor centre with cafe.

Should you tire of all on offer within the park, the nearby excellent road links take you to all the attractions of Dorset, the beautiful New Forest, and the beaches of Bournemouth and Poole.

A comfortable Ringwood cottage in a great location.

About the location

AVON HEATH COUNTRY PARK

Ringwood 2 miles; Bournemouth 10 miles.

Avon Heath Country Park, Dorset’s largest park, can be found just 2 miles west of Ringwood and 10 miles north of Bournemouth. This well-managed heathland nature reserve consists of large areas of heathland, scattered with pine trees, while purple banks of heather provide a stunning sight in summer. A great deal of habitat management work is conserving the numerous rare species of birds, reptiles and plants, together with a resident deer population. Visitors can participate in a wide variety of events at the Visitors Centre, which also offers a children’s play area, countryside shop and cafe, or enjoy access to over 5 miles of marked walking and cycle trails. Alternatively, take the short drive to the family-friendly seaside resort of Bournemouth, explore the nearby New Forest National Park or take a boat trip around the islands of Poole Harbour. This fascinating area offers a super holiday destination for all the family.
