DESCRIPTION & CONSTRUCTION:
20 Westbury Road is a fine example of a well-appointed Edwardian family house, maintained to a very good standard by the present owner who has lived in the property for many years. The property has an area of land to the rear of the original garden (which has been purchased more recently) with a vehicular access gained from Woodford Close to the rear and could accommodate, subject to the appropriate planning consent, the development of a separate dwelling. The main property has retained much of its original charm and character offering the benefit of 4 bedrooms and 3 reception rooms, which could easily be adapted into a ground floor self-contained annexe. The property has double glazing, gas central heating and is offered for sale in first class order throughout.

AGENTS NOTE: In our opinion, to fully appreciate the property and the potential to build a separate dwelling within the existing gardens, a viewing is highly recommended.

SITUATION:
20 Westbury Road is delightfully set at the head of this well-established cul-de-sac of similar aged properties with the additional benefit of a rear vehicular access from Woodford Close. The property is within a mile of a local convenience store and Ringwood junior school. The market town centre of Ringwood is within a mile and a half, offering a weekly street market, in addition to comprehensive shopping, leisure and educational facilities. The A31 and A338 provide road links to the main centres of Bournemouth (12 miles), Southampton (16 miles) and Salisbury (18 miles). The open New Forest is within 2 miles distant.

DIRECTIONAL NOTE:
From the Ringwood roundabout, adjacent to the town centre car parks, leave in an easterly direction along the old Southampton Road and Carvers recreation field. Take the immediate turning right, prior to the dual-carriageway flyover, onto Parsonage Barn Lane. Proceed to the end of this road and at the t-junction turn left onto Hightown Road. Continue for a third of mile, whereupon a turning to Westbury Road is on the left hand side and 20 can be accessed in the far right hand corner of this cul-de-sac.
However, this is a narrow road therefore if you’d prefer to access the property from the rear, continue past the turning to Westbury Road and at the t-junction turn left onto Eastfield Lane. Take the first turning onto Woodford Close and proceed to the head of the cul-de-sac. The private driveway to 20 and its’ adjoining garden is in the far right hand corner.
