Property description

AN IDYLLIC APARTMENT LOCATED IN THE PRESTIGIOUS AVON CASTLE WITH EXTENSIVE VIEWS & BENEFITING FROM A SELF CONTAINED GUEST FLAT. • 3 Bedrooms • Lounge with feature fireplace • Beautiful dining room • Kitchen • Original Features & rooms within the 2 turrets

This idyllic apartment is located in the prestigious Avon Castle which dates back to the 1870s and was once home to the 9th, 10th and 11th Earls of Egmont. We believe the conversion into apartments took place in the 1960s and all apartments offer a wealth of character. This apartment also benefits from extensive views over and beyond the River Avon and across the expansive Avon Valley water meadows. The property is situated only a short drive away from the bustling market town of Ringwood with its weekly street market and shopping, leisure and educational facilities and in nearby excellent transport links which can take you to Bournemouth, Southampton and London.



The apartment is located on the first floor and is accessed via a grand and imposing entrance hallway. On entering the apartment, you are faced with a spacious private entrance hallway. The kitchen offers a range of matching base and wall units and work surface space for food preparation. The kitchen leads on to a beautiful dining room ideal for holding dinner parties with high ceilings and large feature windows allowing lots of natural light to shine through. The stunning living room offers picturesque views over the River Avon and the focal point of the room is the impressive fireplace which one would make well use of on long winter nights. The circular study is located in one of the castles iconic towers and is accessed off the lounge via a large period heavy wooden door - unfortunately due to the large windows and spectacular views - work may be forgotten! A spacious hallway leads to the fantastic large master bedroom, which also boasts stunning views, and a three piece bathroom suite. Located off the master bedroom there is another versatile reception room/dressing room situated inside another of the turrets which is extremely light and spacious.

A spiral staircase leads up to the top of the turret into a further room which we believe would make an ideal child's bedroom or further reception room as an art or music room. Accessed off the hallway and up a flight of stairs there is a spacious second bedroom. Interestingly, there is a self contained guest flat which includes a laundry area, shower room and bedroom, again with impressive feature fireplace and mezzanine storage area.



Externally, there is a private driveway which leads to this imposing castle with extensive parking designated for residents and guests. There are also vast communal gardens perfect for relaxing on a Summer day and ideal for soaking up the beautiful scenery.



An internal inspection is highly recommended to appreciate this once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase this unique and impressive apartment.
