Spacious period family home with extensive outbuildings and equestrian potential.
Nearly one acre plot with direct New Forest access
Set on nearly an acre within the New Forest National Park, Crow Crest is a substantial four-bedroom detached home with generous family living space and direct forest access. Spacious reception rooms, a large kitchen/breakfast room and a triple-aspect dining room open to terraces and gardens, creating easy indoor–outdoor flow for family life and entertaining. Numerous outbuildings, a stable with water and light, a heated gazebo and productive vegetable and fruit areas suit equestrian hobbyists, gardeners or small-scale home enterprises.
The house retains period character—beamed ceilings, original wooden doors and traditional fireplaces—combined with practical upgrades including a renovated kitchen (2019), secondary glazing throughout and a gas boiler. All principal rooms look over south-westerly gardens; grounds are mostly lawn with mature planting, orchard trees and gated gravel parking for several cars. The property is offered chain free and has been in the same ownership for almost 40 years.
Important practical points: the property uses a septic tank; walls are cavity construction without added insulation (assumed); broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average. There is substantial scope to modernise or improve thermal performance and connectivity. Buyers seeking a turnkey, high-tech home should budget for insulation and connectivity upgrades.
Crow Crest will appeal to families and countryside buyers who prioritise space, privacy and outdoor lifestyle close to Ringwood’s amenities and riding access into the Forest. It is a rare plot with strong equestrian and hobby potential but does require some investment to bring services and energy performance fully up to modern expectations.
