Description

PLEASE CONTACT THE AGENT FOR VIEWING INFORMATION: An outstanding opportunity to acquire a four bedroom home requiring modernisation set in approximately 4.75 acres positioned beneath the iconic St Catherine's Hill and surrounded by farmland.

Positioned beneath the iconic St Catherine's Hill and surrounded by protected heathland, Bryhers Farm represents one of the area's most compelling lifestyle opportunities. Extending to approximately 4.75 acres, the property enjoys an exceptional level of privacy with permanent pasture, versatile outbuildings and scope for a commercial yard (subject to relevant planning permission) all complemented by immediate access to an extensive network of bridleways and footpaths. Despite its wonderfully secluded setting, Christchurch, the New Forest and the South Coast remain all within easy reach, creating a rare balance of rural tranquillity and modern convenience. Now requiring modernisation, the house offers well-balanced accommodation arranged over two floors and presents an excellent opportunity for an incoming purchaser to create a home tailored to their own requirements. The existing layout comprises four bedrooms, three bath/shower rooms, a generous kitchen/breakfast room, three reception rooms, a utility/boot room and an integral garage, providing an excellent foundation for sympathetic refurbishment.

The property's position is truly exceptional. Backing directly onto the nationally important heathland of St Catherine's Hill, designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), Bryhers Farm enjoys an outstanding natural backdrop that protects both its setting and sense of seclusion. Yet, despite its peaceful surroundings, the historic town of Christchurch is only a short drive away, offering an excellent selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, supermarkets, schooling and mainline rail services to London Waterloo. Bournemouth's award-winning coastline lies approximately 3.5 miles to the south, whilst the New Forest National Park is also within easy reach, placing some of the region's finest countryside and coastal landscapes on the doorstep.

Outside, the grounds are undoubtedly a defining feature of the property. The land extends to approximately 4.75 acres of predominantly level permanent pasture, enclosed by mature boundaries and ideally suited to equestrian, smallholding or lifestyle use. St Catherine's Hill lies immediately beyond, with its extensive network of bridleways and footpaths allowing riders and walkers to enjoy miles of unspoilt countryside directly from the property.

Complementing the land is a substantial American barn-style building, timber clad and offering excellent versatility for equestrian purposes, secure storage, workshop space or a variety of ancillary uses, subject to any necessary consents.

The yard also includes a semi open metal framed building with a lockable storage area and mains electric. A perfect mini unit or workshop. This can be independently accessed from the lane.

ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING REGULATION

We are legally required to conduct Anti-Money Laundering checks on all parties involved in the sale of a property - i.e. both buyers and sellers. We use a service offered by The Guild of Property Professionals called Verify365 to perform these checks. This is a service offered to Estate Agents who are members of the Guild of Property Professionals. These checks must be completed before a property is listed for sale and as soon as an offer is accepted (before we send out the Memorandum of Sale). There is a non-refundable fee of £25 (plus VAT) per person. Note: Woolley & Wallis receive a portion of this fee to cover our administration costs in processing these legal checks.
