Description
The property is located off Liberty Road, Newtown approximately 3 miles from the picturesque market town of Wickham, with its range of local amenities. There are a number of state and independent schools within easy reach, including Newtown Infant School and Swanmore College. The A32 to the west provides access to the M27 at Junction 10, which in turn connects to the M3 and A3. The railway stations at Botley, Petersfield and Winchester provide direct train services to London Waterloo.
DESCRIPTION: The property includes an agricultural building benefitting from a planning consent to convert to a residential dwelling. The building itself is a conventional steel-portal framed agricultural building extending to approx. 545 sq. m/5,866 sq. ft. with lower walls of concrete block and upper walls a mix of vertical slatted timber boarding and corrugated sheeting. The roof is constructed of corrugated fibre sheeting. There are three metal stock gate openings to the West and North elevations. A vehicular access and a pedestrian door are located in the East elevation.
The land included with the building extends to approx. 1 acre (0.40 ha), as coloured pink on the Site Plan. There is concrete hardstanding on the East side of the building extending from the access to Liberty Road. The hardstanding stretches around much of the perimeter of the building. The building is in a very attractive rural setting and the proposed new dwelling, being on higher ground with a southerly aspect, would benefit from views over the pasture fields. Approximately 175m to the west is the Forest of Bere which forms the edge of the South Downs National Park.
CLASS Q - PLANNING CONSENT: By planning consent 24/01077/PNACOU dated 11th July 2024, permission has been granted for the conversion of the agricultural building to a residential dwelling with a gross internal floorspace of approx. 4891 sq. ft. (454.39 sq, m). The planning consent states that the development permitted must be begun before the expiration of three years from the date of permission. The approved Floorplan/elevations, Structural Assessment and Decision Notice are available on the Selling Agent's website. Full details of the application can be obtained via the Winchester local planning website- 24/01077/PNACOU.
ADDITIONAL LAND: There is an additional approx. 17.22 acres (6.97 ha) of adjacent land available in two Lots, as shaded green (Lot 2 - 3.12 acres) and blue (Lot 3 - 14.10 acres) on the Site Plan. This land is available only with Lot 1 which is shaded pink and labelled Lot 1 on the Site Plan. This additional land is currently in use as agricultural pastureland for hay production.
RIGHT OF WAY: A right of way at all times and for all purposes with or without vehicles will be retained for the benefit of the Vendor's retained land over Lot 3. This right of way will commence at the new access from Liberty Road approved by planning consent 24/02126/FUL dated 13th January 2025. Full details of the consent can be obtained via the Winchester local planning website 24/02126/FUL and a copy of the Decision Notice and Proposed Access Plan is available on the Selling Agent's website. The approximate route of this right of way (5m wide) is shown by the yellow hatching on the Site Plan. As the planning consent has not yet been implemented, the Vendor will also retain the right to construct this new access from Liberty Road, including discharging the conditions on the planning decision notice.
