- NEW BUILD WITH PADDOCK - Alverstone Garden Village

Nestled amongst rural surroundings on the fringes of Alverstone Garden Village, this charming two-bedroom new home is truly a hidden gem and occupies approximately one acre of land incorporating a paddock and a stable block.

Currently approved for holiday use with a 52-week occupancy, this brand new, two-bedroom timber-framed bungalow has been finished to an exceptional standard and offers the new owner a peaceful second home with the potential to provide a lucrative holiday let investment. Perfectly tucked away in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Little Copse Barn occupies a spacious plot within a sheltered tranquil setting offering a secluded retreat surrounded by stunning countryside views, local wildlife and miles of breathtaking rural walks.

The bungalow itself is a beautiful timber frame construction presenting charming rustic style externally with its cedar wood waney edge boarding and a contrasting slate tiled roof. Internally, the accommodation boasts high-quality finishes with a contemporary decor featuring beautiful oak veneer flooring and crisp white-painted walls throughout, offering a clean and versatile backdrop. Illuminated by stylish recessed spotlights, the accommodation is beautifully arranged with an internal lobby at the heart of the home dividing the two double bedrooms and a stunning shower room from the living area which offers an open plan lifestyle fitted with a sleek, contemporary kitchen complete with integrated appliances. Additionally, the property benefits from modern electric heaters combined with loft and wall insulation to ensure a cosy home, and internal oak doors and brass fixtures provide elegant finishing touches throughout.

Outside, the bungalow is surrounded by freshly laid turf areas which could be established as a wrap-around garden. Enclosed with post and rail fencing and accessed via a five bar metal gate, a separate paddock measures approximately 0.9 acres and provides a sloped grass area which could potentially suit private equestrian use with magnificent downland views from the top. Furthermore, a large stable block with its own electric and water supply provides three stables as well as a storage area which could offer further opportunity to transform into additional accommodation (subject to planning permission) or even provide a potential rental income source from private horse owners. Providing cleverly designed purpose built parking areas that complement the surrounding natural environment, a geo-grid ground stabiliser has been installed under the freshly laid grass along the front of the barn and continues around the entire property to ensure that the ground is protected from from vehicles.
