DESCRIPTION & CONSTRUCTION:
Noon Cottage was originally built 350 years. The present owner has resided in the property for the past 35 years, during which time the property has been skilfully adapted and extended to provide exceptionally spacious and versatile living accommodation with numerous features including vaulted ceiling, impressive fireplace, minstrels gallery, superb kitchen/breakfast/family room with extensive kitchen fitments, ground floor guest suite, 4 bedrooms on the first floor, two of which have balconies, one has a walk-in wardrobe/dressing room and the principal suite has an en-suite luxury fully tiled shower room/w.c. Externally the property benefits from extensive off road parking, large detached garage with studio/office on the first floor. The gardens are extremely well-enclosed and total 0.17 of an acre, with immediate access into Ringwood Forest.

AGENTS NOTE: In our opinion, to fully appreciate the quality size and presentation of the property, an internal viewing is strongly recommended.

SITUATION:
Noon Cottage is accessed via a forestry track which in turn provides access into Ringwood Forest. The town centre of Verwood is within a mile & a quarter offering a range of shops, in addition to primary and junior school plus the community centre known as The Hub.

DIRECTIONAL NOTE:
Upon approaching Verwood, (from the Ringwood direction), along the B3081, continue past the entrance to Ebblake Industrial Estate. Pass across traffic lights and continue towards Verwood centre, taking the fourth turning right onto Noon Hill Road. Proceed to the end of this road and onto the forest track, whereupon the private drive to Noon Cottage is located immediately on the left hand side giving access to just two properties.
