DESCRIPTION: The Property extends in all to approx. 5.10 acres (2.06 Ha) as shaded on the Site Plans and is an interesting parcel of land and woodland occupying a unique position.

The land was historically used as Market Gardening Land for Strawberry Growing. Lot 1 and Lot 2 have been used for horse grazing in recent years.

The Property includes ownership of the track that passes through the heart of the Property which is a gravel track. Each of the 3 Lots includes a section of this track as identified on the Site Plans along the dashed line between A and C.

ACCESS: As indicated on the Site Plan and Location Plan 2 (the Property is shown shaded red) the land can be accessed along Glen Road via either:

Swanwick Lane to the north (and passing under an underpass and railway bridge).
A27 Bridge Road to the south.

It is not possible to drive through the Property along Glen Road between Swanwick Lane and the A27 Bridge Road because the surface in places is not suitable for cars, and there are locked Bollards across the track in place beside Lot 1 and Lot 2 as identified at position C on the Site Plan. A Purchaser of Lot 2 will be provided with a key for these bollards upon completion so that they can pass through them when they wish.

STORAGE BUILDINGS (LOT 1 ONLY): There are a number of buildings located beside an area of hard standing and a gated access. See photos and dimensions and descriptions on Buildings Sketch Plan later in these particulars.

TURN OUT ARENA (LOT 1): A fenced area with approximate dimensions 24.80m (81ft) X 13.90m (45ft) and surface of hardcore has been used for horse turn out in recent years (not currently suitable for horse exercise).

WOODLAND (LOT 3): An attractive area of mature broadleaved woodland with standard trees and an understorey either side of the track. With a stream passing through just inside the northern boundary.

SCHEDULE OF ACREAGES: See Sales Particulars.

LAND REGISTRY: The Property comprises the entirety of Land Registry Title HP427579. See Selling Agent’s website for Plan and Register. The northern area of Lot 2 (approx. 0.81 acres) is currently unregistered.

PLANNING STATUS: The Property is currently zoned as ‘Countryside’ in the Fareham Borough Council Local Plan where Countryside Policies apply.

TREE PRESERVATION ORDERS (TPO): None affect the Property.

DEVELOPMENT OVERAGE: Lot 1 and Lot 2 – Subject to the level of any offer, the Vendor is mindful to retain a 25% share of any uplift in value caused by Planning Consent for any residential development on the pasture land over a period of 25 years but this would not include agricultural, commercial, equestrian development.

DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL: Subject to a successful Planning Application(s) the pasture land may have the hope of potential residential development in the future. Interested parties must make their own enquiries.

BYWAY OPEN TO ALL TRAFFIC (BOAT): The status of the track, named ‘Glen Road’ that passes through the Property is a Byway Open to All Traffic and its route is shown by the dashed line on the Site Plan passing through position C, A and B. This is a Public Right of Way which technically allow ‘Motorised vehicles, horse riders, cyclists, and walkers’. However, there have been locked Bollards in place as identified on the Site Plan to stop any Public vehicular use passing through, from one end to the other. A Purchaser of Lot 2 will be provided with a key for these bollards upon completion so that they can pass through them when they wish.

The Bollards were put in place in c 2006 by the Vendor with Fareham Borough Council’s permission. At the southern end of Glen Road there is a Notice issued by Fareham Borough Council relating to these Bollards and the use of the track being no through road.

On Hampshire County Council’s Definitive Map showing the current status of all Public Rights of Way, this route over the entire Glen Road is recorded as a Byway Open to All Traffic but in addition – ‘Temporary Closure’ is stated. See extract on Selling Agent’s website.

In addition, there is a notice on one of the Bollards at position C that there is a Traffic Regulation Order in place effectively allowing pedestrian, cycles, horses and motorbikes through and along the Byway, but not allowing cars (or vehicles with 3 or more wheels).

A Purchaser of Lot 2 will be provided with a key for these bollards upon completion so that they can pass through them when they wish.

SERVICES: Lot 1 – Mains water and electricity are connected to the buildings and each with a meter. Lot 2- An historic water supply has been terminated close to the gate but is available to be reconnected.

WATER: There are still irrigation points across the pasture with metal fittings (untested), relating back to the historic strawberry growing activity. Some of these are hidden under the road bollards across the pasture. See photos below.

GLASS CLOCHES LOT 1 – We understand that glass cloches that were in place when the land was used for commercial strawberry growing have been deposited around the southern and western perimeter of this parcel. Subsequently there have been 20+ years of horse droppings (manure off the field) deposited on top of this glass which is now buried and out of sight. The wire fence on site is therefore positioned inside the legal freehold boundary of the Property so that horses grazing were kept away from the glass.

WAYLEAVES AND EASEMENTS: A number of pipes pass through the Property within the track ‘Glen Road’.

DESIGNATIONS: No environment designations affect the Property.

LOCAL AUTHORITY: Fareham Borough Council, Civic Offices, Civic Way, Hampshire PO16 7AZ.
