Description
Location
The New Inn is prominently located on Main Road (A35) in Totton, a bustling suburb of Southampton situated approximately 4 miles to the west of Southampton City Centre. The property is prominently positioned across the road from a large industrial estate, which generates a steady flow of activity in the area. It is also conveniently located in close proximity from Hampshire County Council's highways depot and Hounsdown School, adding to the diverse mix of local activity.
Totton benefits from excellent transport links, including the nearby Totton Railway Station and easy access to the M27 motorway, connecting the property to Southampton, the New Forest, and beyond.
Description
The proposal delivers five high-quality residential dwellings through the sensitive conversion, refurbishment and reconfiguration of the former New Inn public house, together with the construction of two new semi-detached homes accessed from Jacobs Walk.
The scheme provides five three-bedroom family homes, each benefitting from private gardens, off-street parking, electric vehicle charging provision, and associated hard and soft landscaping.
Development Proposal
We are now inviting formal offers for this residential development opportunity, comprising the retention, refurbishment and reconfiguration of the existing New Inn public house to provide three high-quality family homes, together with the development of two new semi-detached dwellings accessed from Jacobs Walk.
The scheme provides five three-bedroom homes with private gardens, residential parking, electric vehicle charging provision, private cycle storage and associated hard and soft landscaping.
The proposal has been carefully designed to preserve and enhance the architectural character of the original public house. External alterations have been kept to a minimum, including the removal of the later linking corridor and the introduction of a new window designed to complement the existing frontage.
The two new-build homes have been designed to complement the surrounding residential character of Jacobs Walk, while maintaining appropriate separation from the existing building and neighbouring properties.
