Ringwood Road, Avon, Christchurch, Hampshire BH23

Magnificent private residence of 10,906 sq. Ft plus adjoining B&B with 7 en suite rooms plus two brand new cottages in the grounds. Triple garage & car ports. All set on approx 8.1 acres.

Description
Tyrrells Park is an impressive and handsome period building, set within approximately 8.115 acres of grounds on the edge of the New Forest. The property is approached via a sweeping driveway leading to a car park with a newly built six-bay car garage adjacent to the main building. The property itself comprises a substantial two-storey, 18th-century manor house with a pitched tiled roof.

The grounds are a particular feature, including expansive lawns, mature woodland, and a terrace to the front of the property. Mature trees provide screening on all sides, offering a peaceful and secluded setting.

Internally, the building has been sensitively and beautifully refurbished and also cleverly divided so that one half of the building (east side) provides private accommodation and the other side (west) the letting accommodation. This allows for both elements to be self-contained and completely private. The private accommodation is accessed from the northern elevation and opens into a reception area with a bar entertainment area to the left. Centrally, there is a full-height grand hall with a minstrel gallery. The Neptune fitted kitchen and fully panelled sitting room, along with a summer lounge, are provided to the south of the building with delightful views of the grounds. The first floor of the private accommodation provides four spacious en-suite bedrooms, again with stunning views, two having Lamco dressing rooms. There is also a state-of-the-art cinema room with eight Italian reclining cinema seats, a 135” cinema screen, and a Sony 4K laser projector system.
The letting accommodation

This has a private entrance from the west and comprises seven beautifully designed en-suite bedrooms - six on the first floor and one on the ground floor. There is an attractive dining room at ground floor in addition to this.

This section can either be seamlessly integrated into the main house as extra bedroom space, as it is only divided by a locked door, or can be kept completely separate. The choice is up to the new owner.

Within the grounds, there are also two detached cottages which have been fully refurbished to comprise a lounge/kitchen and bathroom on the ground floor, with a bedroom above.
Planning

The property is not listed, nor is it located within a Conservation Area. It lies outside any restrictive flood zones; however, it is situated within the Green Belt.

There has been one previous planning application on the site. Under planning reference 23/11155, the proposal was for a single-storey six-bay garage and carport for use in association with the existing C1 hotel use, along with a new courtyard wall and gates.

The property currently benefits from a mixed planning use classification of C1 (Hotel, Motel, Boarding or Guest House) and C3 (Self-Contained Flat, including Maisonette or Apartment).

This unique property offers an excellent opportunity for further development or conversion to alternative uses, subject to the necessary consents. Options could include expanding the hotel operation or pursuing a complete residential use conversion, making full use of the attractive setting and generous grounds.

and woodland.

The location is well positioned on the western edge
of the New Forest, just beyond the boundary of
the National Park, offering an attractive setting
with excellent access to nature and visitor footfall.

areas of woodland, heathland, and pasture in
Southern England. In 2017, it attracted an estimated
15.2 million visitor days, with over 13.5 million

proximity is a major draw for both local residents
and seasonal visitors, with around 16 million people
living within a 90-minute drive.
