Location
The tiny but gorgeous hamlet of Canada is situated to the south of the A36 within the village of West Wellow. It comprises approximately 100 properties, some of which line Canada Road and Plantation Road, while others like Holly Acres, nestle along the easterly edge of Canada Common enjoying stunning and open New Forest views.
Although technically part of West Wellow, Canada has an identity of its own and has always been ‘a place apart' populated by friendly independent people still to be found among current residents. The scenery within Canada Common is some of the New Forest's finest enjoying much visiting wildlife and is popular with local dog walkers and horse riders. The Rockingham Arms is one of the most popular pubs in the area and has managed to capture local enthusiasm as well as attracting a large tourist audience with fine food in comfortable surroundings and a boutique shop selling interesting home items.
Canada Common is a beautifully tranquil and neighbourly setting that also benefits from excellent accessibility to local conveniences in West Wellow but also exceptional commuter links to all major destinations.
Agents Notes
The property is served by gas central heating with electric underfloor to the kitchen and hall areas. Unusually for a property in such a dicreet location, Holly Acres is served by mains drainage. The pool is heated via an air source heat pump and there is sky tv to the bar and integrated audio to the principal rooms.
Directions
From the Ower roundabout on the A36, head towards Salisbury and after approximately two miles you will reach the Wellow roundabout. Bear left into Canada Road and after ¾ mile bear right into Plantation Road. At the common, bear right and Holly Acres can be found at the end of the track.
