Wimborne 8 miles

Ringwood 8 miles

OUTBUILDINGS The Office has full planning permission for office use but with a limitation to being used as offices for the holding. Presumably this was the council avoiding full commercial use in a rural area and any subsequent letting out.

8

The Pole Barn and Old Chicken House have full planning permission for agricultural use. The Poly Tunnels have permission via agricultural permitted development. The stables have no planning permission but have existed for decades.

OFFICE, STORE & GARAGE Large brick oak framed office with storage and twin garage. Fully independent unit with electrics, oil fired central heating, toilet, washroom and kitchen facility. The office is fully wired with CAT5e Gigabit network and there are tie lines through to the house and beyond to the barn and campsite. Broadband internet is routed around the entire property via the office. A Panasonic digital telephone system is installed in the office and routed around the house and all outbuildings. Satellite/CCTV cables also connect the office to the house. The current owners use the office setup for internet trading. A fully monitored alarm system is fitted.

OLD CHICKEN HOUSE A substantial cavity walled brick building originally intended for use as a Chicken House but now ready for conversion to holiday lets or fishermens cottages. Building already has an electricity supply, water, drainage & telephone. Currently used as an agricultural store. Measures 16m x 7m.

POLY TUNNELS Triple layered 100ft x 60ft tubular steel framed poly tunnels on large concrete pad. Water, electrics, part-irrigation and telephone installed. Blown air heating system runs off red diesel. Units were used for growing water plants but now provide extra storage and growing space for our vegetables.

STABLES, FEED STORE & PADDOCK 5 loose boxes plus food store adjacent to the house. Two boxes are tall block built units, three are timber. All have electrics fitted and an adjacent water tap. There is a nearby post and rail fenced paddock also with water supply. All stables are functional but currently used as storage.

POLE BARN A traditional pole barn construction - this building is extremely handy for all sorts of reasons. Can hold up to 2000 traditional sized bales of hay. Access from the back of the pole barn into the fishermens car park.

FIELD SHELTER Simple field shelter made of timber and corrugated iron. Originally for equestrian use but now housing a few free range chickens.

Riverside promotes activity, friendship, sociability and well-being. If you are purely looking for a bricks and mortar investment without a lifestyle change then this property is probably not for you. Riverside is a lifestyle purchase.

LIFESTYLE Riverside has hosted many parties, celebrations and mini festivals. Our children’s friends always seem to want to play here. They are allowed to get dirty, wet and run or cycle around in acres of woods and meadows that are, to put it simply, safe: something that is rare in this day and age.

12

We have pedalos, go-karts & quad bikes which seem more often than not to be enjoyed by the adults.

There are 56 fishing pegs across three lakes: We are fairly quiet because we don’t advertise and rely on new customers hearing of us via word-ofmouth, but this business could be a great income if promoted correctly.
