Summary - PICKET LODGE PICKET HILL RINGWOOD BH24 3HH
5 bed 4 bath Detached
Two-acre New Forest estate with annexe, garage and sweeping forest views.
About two acres of landscaped grounds with New Forest access
Picket Lodge is a substantial mid-20th-century detached family home set in about two acres of manicured grounds with direct access to the New Forest. The house offers five bedrooms, four bathrooms and a self-contained one-bedroom annexe across the courtyard — ideal for guests, staff or a home office. Many principal reception rooms open to terraces and garden views, while the bespoke kitchen, conservatory and Chesney’s limestone fireplace create comfortable, high-spec living spaces.
The site has genuine equestrian potential: there is abundant space for overnight stabling and direct hacking into the New Forest, though any new stables or change of use would require the appropriate consents. Practical benefits include generous parking, electronic gated entrance, double garage and double carport, mains gas central heating and double glazing fitted after 2002.
Important practical points: the property uses private drainage, broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow, and council tax is described as quite expensive. The house dates from the 1950s–1960s and, while well-presented, will suit buyers who appreciate period character and who may wish to carry out selective updating rather than a full modern refurbishment.
Located on the Dorset–Hampshire border between Ringwood and Burley, Picket Lodge combines privacy, sweeping forest views and easy road access to Bournemouth, Southampton and Salisbury. This is a rare opportunity for a family seeking a spacious home with annexe accommodation and potential for equestrian use in the New Forest setting.
