DESCRIPTION & CONSTRUCTION:
Kilsyth was originally built during the 1930’s with cement rendered elevations under a thatched roof. More recently the owners (who have occupied the property for 40 years plus) substantially enlarged the existing dwelling to the rear to provide well-proportioned living and bedroom accommodation on two levels. The property will appeal to those purchasers seeking a character residence which offers well-proportioned accommodation and potential to further enhance/modernise. The property enjoys the benefit of a southerly facing rear, ample off road parking and is offered for sale with no onward chain.
SITUATION:
Kilsyth is immediately adjacent to the boundary of the New Forest National Park, within the popular hamlet of Hightown. Hightown Common and Crow farm shop, plus Hightown lakes are three of the key features within the immediate locality. Easy access to the A31 provides road links to the main centres of Ringwood (1 ½ miles), Bournemouth (12 miles), Southampton (16 miles) and Salisbury (18 miles).
DIRECTIONAL NOTE:
From the main Ringwood roundabout, adjacent to the town centre car park, leave in an easterly direction along the old Southampton Road passing Carvers recreation field. Take the immediate turning right, prior to the dual-carriageway flyover, onto Parsonage Barn Lane and continue to the end turning left at the T-junction onto Hightown Road. Proceed to the end and at the T-junction with Eastfield Lane turn right and follow this road passing the Elm Tree Inn. Continue towards the bottom of Hightown Hill, passing the Cloisters, Lakeview Drive and Forest Lake Avenue. The entrance to Kilsyth is on the right hand side immediately opposite the entrance to Nouale Lane.

Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on March 31, 2023
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on March 31, 2023
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
