Location
The property is situated along Ringwood Road in the hamlet of Avon, just outside the historic market town of Christchurch in Dorset. Tyrrells Park enjoys a semi-rural setting, surrounded by open countryside 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. Avon lies approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) east of Christchurch, around 4 miles south of Ringwood, and roughly 8 miles (12.9 km) from Bournemouth to the southwest. The B3347 connects Ringwood and Christchurch directly, and the A35 and A338 offer wider regional links.

The New Forest National Park is one of the largest 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 attributed to leisure and recreation. The park’s proximity is a major draw for both local residents and seasonal visitors, with around 16 million people living within a 90-minute drive.

Transport links are strong. The A31 at Ringwood connects directly to the M27 for access to Southampton and London. Christchurch railway station provides direct services to London Waterloo, Poole, and Weymouth, and Bournemouth Airport is located just 4 miles from the property.

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 car port for use in association with the existing C1 hotel use, along with a new courtyard wall and gates.
