Redlynch, Salisbury, Wiltshire

Lot 1B – Shearings
About 1.63 acres (0.66 ha)
Guide Price £400,000

Shearings is a detached, prefabricated bungalow requiring renovation or replacement (subject to planning), sitting in its own delightful gardens and benefitting from an additional paddock and woodland, in a popular rural location, outside of the National Park.

There is an Agricultural Occupancy Condition that restricts the occupation of the property to someone: “solely or mainly employed, or last employed, in the locality in agriculture… …or in forestry… …or a widow or widower of such a person”.

The accommodation comprises: entrance hall, sitting room, kitchen, three bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate WC.

The building is understood to be a ‘Woolaway” precast reinforced concrete construction, which may not be mortgageable in its current condition. The building is generally in fairly poor condition and the services are not in working order. There is also a prefabricated double garage within the plot.

The cottage extends in total to approximately 738 square feet and together with gardens and paddock offers significant potential for redevelopment, subject to the necessary consents, and could be an excellent location for a farmhouse for Milkhills Farm and wider land on offer.

Situation
Discreetly positioned in the northern corner of the New Forest National Park, the portfolio of properties is situated around the highly desirable village of Lover and just to the east of the village of Redlynch.

Local amenities in Redlynch include a post office/store, village hall, church, two country pubs and two well renowned golf courses. A further selection of services can be found in the market town of Fordingbridge (7 miles) or the historic cathedral city of Salisbury (9.5 miles). The commercial centres of Southampton and Bournemouth on the south coast offer further excellent shopping and recreational facilities. A direct train service runs from Southampton Parkway station to London Waterloo taking about 65 minutes. Southampton Airport is 13 miles; Heathrow Airport is 69 miles.

The area is renowned for its excellent schools including Chafyn Grove, Salisbury Cathedral and Godolphin in Salisbury, whilst there is also The Gregg and King Edward VI at Southampton; Embley Park, Winchester College and St Swithun’s are also close by.

The New Forest was created by William the Conqueror in 1079 and is still largely in the possession of the Crown, comprising woodland, pasture, heaths and the remains of 17th, 18th and 19th century coppices and timber plantations. The Forest is grazed by the ponies, cattle and pigs of the local ‘commoners’ which add to the picturesque charm of the area. The Forest is a renowned walking and riding area in the south of England and is readily accessible from the property.

The land falls within the River Test catchment area which may present opportunities for Nutrient Neutrality offsetting. Buyers are asked to undertake their own research into any potential.
