DESCRIPTION & CONSTRUCTION:
37 Sandford is believed to date back to approximately 170 years ago, when it was originally a cobb cottage. The present owner has lived in the property for the past 50 years during which time the property has been enlarged to provide well-proportioned accommodation. The cottage offers further scope for sympathetic modernisation.

SITUATION:
37 Sandford is delightfully set within this rural environment enjoying open views across surrounding land owner by the Mills Estate and within 2 miles of the market town of Ringwood, which offers a weekly street market, in addition to comprehensive shopping, leisure and educational facilities. The A31 and A338 provide road links to the main centres of Bournemouth (12 miles), Southampton (16 miles) and Salisbury (18 miles). The open New Forest is within a mile and a half.

DIRECTIONAL NOTE:
From the main Ringwood roundabout, adjacent to the town centre car park, leave in a southerly direction along the Mansfield Road passing 2 sets of pedestrian traffic lights. At the first mini-roundabout, adjacent to Greyfriars community centre, bear left onto the Christchurch Road, continue directly across two roundabouts passing Lidl’s superstore and the David Lloyd leisure centre. Take the immediate turning left, past the Moortown filling station, onto Moortown Lane, taking the first right onto Long Lane. Continue for approximately a mile and a quarter, via a variety of hairpin bends, over a small bridge and take the immediate turning right onto Dragons Lane, whereupon 37 Sandford is the first property on the left hand side.
