Summary - SWANGATE HORTON ROAD ASHLEY HEATH RINGWOOD BH24 2EN
3 bed 2 bath Bungalow
Secluded family home with major extension potential and woodland views.
Detached chalet‑style bungalow over 2,200 sq ft on ~0.63 acre plot
Set on about 0.63 acres and backing directly onto woodland, this detached chalet‑style bungalow offers over 2,200 sq ft of flexible living space and rare seclusion near Ringwood. The house has a south‑facing garden, raised deck for outdoor dining and a conservatory overlooking the lawn — ideal for families wanting space and privacy. Planning permission has been granted for an upstairs bedroom suite with a balcony, and previous consents allow further extension and reconfiguration to increase usable accommodation.
The interior is liveable but requires updating: the kitchen is dated and there is scope for comprehensive modernisation throughout to unlock the property's full potential. Practical improvements include oil‑fired central heating with a boiler replaced in 2024, double glazing (unknown install date), and a septic tank. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average — worth considering if remote working is essential.
Outdoors the plot is a principal attraction: sweeping lawns, mature shrubbery, wildflower areas and direct access to heathland create a sylvan setting. A detached double garage with power and lighting provides parking and storage; the garage could be converted to ancillary accommodation subject to planning. Note the property sits in an SSSI area and is being sold freehold for the first time in 26 years.
This home will suit buyers seeking a substantial family house or a countryside retreat with development upside. Buyers should budget for modernisation, potential planning constraints related to the SSSI and ongoing running costs for oil heating and a septic system.
