This charming character bungalow offers an abundance of natural light through large UPVC double glazed windows. The property also benefits from a thoughtfully positioned UPVC double glazed garden room with views towards the richly stocked gardens and a modern fitted en-suite to the master bedroom. Our Seller is offering the property for sale with NO ONWARD CHAIN.  

SITUATION St Leonards is a small village adjacent to St Ives and Ashley Heath on the outskirts of the historic market town of Ringwood. The area offers easy access to commuter routes via the A31/M27 to London and the A338 to Bournemouth and Poole. Equally Ferndown and West Moors are closely accessible by car. Moors Valley Country Park is under 2 miles away offering fabulous country walks and an 18 hole golf course. Transport links include the coach service to London from Ringwood and the nearest train station is Bournemouth. Regular bus routes are close at hand to all major towns. The New Forest National Park is within a short drive as is the Jurassic Coastline with its fabulous and award winning sandy beaches. 

ACCOMMODATION An enclosed and covered entrance with outside light leads to the entrance porch which is double glazed and offers a further door through to the entrance hall. There is an alarm system fitted throughout the property. Off the entrance hall there are doors to all the principal rooms. The Lounge/Dining Room has the advantage of large double glazed windows to three aspects and is generously adorned with natural light but in particular offers fabulous views towards the wonderfully stocked gardens and at the same time gives privacy from the high walled boundary. A particular focal point to the Lounge is the Multi-Fuel Burning Stove and then the open aspect towards the Garden Room which is suitably positioned for viewing the fabulous gardens. There is enough space for table and chairs within the Dining Area to this room. The Kitchen is well fitted with base and wall level units and has space for a gas or electric cooker, water softener, housing also the wall mounted gas fired boiler and offering a UPVC double glazed window and door to the rear garden and sun patio. The Master Bedroom has privacy at the rear of the bungalow and an attractive UPVC double glazed bay window overlooks the fish pond and rear garden. A modern and contemporary En-Suite Shower Room complements the main bedroom's accommodation with a fully built in thermostatic shower, concealed cistern WC and vanity wash hand basin. Bedrooms Two and Three have the appeal of arched UPVC windows with aspect towards the front gardens and the bathroom comprises a three piece suite.  

EXTERNALLY The property benefits from secure off road parking with additional space for a small boat or caravan. There is a single DETACHED GARAGE with outside lighting and accessed through an up and over door. To the side of the garage is a covered garden storage shed and to the rear there is a workshop both accessed from the rear garden or through the garage. The front garden is enclosed by a combination of secure gate access and walling. The gardens are a particular feature of this bungalow as the sun rises over the rear sun patio garden in the morning and by midday is in the main garden finishing up on the front of the bungalow in the afternoon. There is a quality sun awning which extends off of the property. The gardens are richly stocked with an array of flowers and shrub planting, including a selection of small and medium size trees. The gardens are fortunate enough not to be directly overlooked by neighbours and there is a hidden path to the outer corner which in turns leads past the Summer House and through a pergola and hedgerow to the rear. The rear garden is made up of a sun patio laid to flag stones and a small wildlife pond.
