The Gables is a very large one bedroom ground floor annexe attached to our
property, with the benefit of your own front door. Ideal for breaks in rural
dorset, we are situated in the village of Three Legged Cross just 5 miles from
the market town of Ringwood, 8 miles from Wimborne, and Moors Valley Country
Park is only 1 mile away.
The property consists of a very large lounge/dining room housing suite, dining
table and chairs, digital freeview television and DVD player. The kitchen is in
the corner and has electric cooker, fridge/freezer, microwave and all the plates
etc. you may require.
The large bedroom has recently been updated to contain 2 new single beds (which
can easily be pushed together), wardrobe, dressing table, bedside tables, lights
and clock radio. Please note this room has enough space for a travel cot to fit
into.
There is a separate shower room with WC, basin and instantaneous electric
shower.
There are no meters, Gas and Electricity are included in the tariff. Bed Linen
is also included, but we do not include personal towels.
There is plenty of off road parking at the rear of the property for several
vehicles, and guests are welcome to use the table and chairs in the garden. Our
visitors frequently see some of the local wildlife in the garden, many species
of birds including woodpeckers, we have had owl in our owl boxes for the last
few years, foxes, occasional badgers and deer, and we have a few chickens at the
bottom of the garden (no noisy cockerels).
In Three Legged Cross there is a Post Office, Newsagent, Village Store, Doctors,
and a large Garden Centre, all within walking distance. In the next village of
Verwood there is a Morrisons supermarket, a Tesco at West Moors and a large
Sainsburys at Trickets Cross. Asda is 10 miles away on the outskirts of
Bournemouth, and the Castle Point shopping mall is also about 10 miles away.
The area is rich in facilities which include walking, cycling, fishing and
golfing. There are also pubs, restaurants and takeaways within easy reach by
car.
The seaside towns of Bournemouth and Poole are easily accessible. The New
Forest National Park is a short drive away and Salisbury and Southampton can be
reached in approx. 30 minutes. From Poole day trips are possible to Guernsey,
Jersey and France, or catch the local boats from Poole Quay to Brownsea Island
to see the red Squirrels.
