Avon Castle Drive Ringwood, BH24

The house occupies an elevated position overlooking approximately two acres of landscaped grounds, with sweeping lawns leading gently down to the riverbank. From almost every principal room, panoramic views unfold across the River Avon and the surrounding valley, ensuring the river is a constant presence in the daily rhythm of life here.

At around 6,000 sq ft, the main house offers generous living spaces designed to capture the ever-changing outlook across the water. Highlights include a 23’ double-aspect sitting room, a 20’ dining room, and an 18’ kitchen/breakfast area, each perfectly oriented toward the river. A 23’ billiard room, 20’ sun room, and a luxurious principal suite — complete with dressing room, en-suite, and private balcony with elevated river views — further underline the home’s stature.

To the rear, where the grounds overlook the river, a superb leisure complex includes a 35’ swimming pool, sauna, and changing facilities, with a wide sun terrace above making the most of the riverside backdrop. The gardens themselves are meticulously landscaped, featuring sweeping lawns, mature trees, and colourful beds supported by an irrigation system. Additional amenities include a full-sized tennis court, a linked two-bedroom annex, and discreetly positioned garaging.

Avon Castle is one of the South’s most prestigious private estates, with leafy, secluded lanes and a strong sense of exclusivity. Yet despite its peaceful riverside setting, the property lies just two miles from the historic market town of Ringwood, with its array of independent shops, caf鳬 restaurants, and everyday amenities.

Homes of this calibre, with direct River Avon frontage, are incredibly scarce — and this is arguably the finest example.
