PRICE GUIDE: £185,000 - £200,000
LOCATION:
Brook Meadow lies between Botley and Curdridge, immediately off Botley Road, in a well-connected semi-rural setting within easy reach of local amenities and major routes. Botley lies a short distance to the west/south-west and Curdridge immediately to the east, with Bishop’s Waltham a little further north-east. The larger centres of Hedge End, Whiteley, Southampton, Fareham and Winchester are all readily accessible.
See attached Location Plan.

The land benefits from good connectivity via Botley Road and the surrounding local road network, with convenient links towards the M27 (Junctions serving Botley/Whiteley/Hedge End and Fareham) for wider travel across South Hampshire and beyond. The area retains a distinctly rural character of fields, woodland edges, lanes and scattered properties, while remaining close to village facilities, recreation ground and established residential neighbourhoods at Curdridge and Botley.

SITUATION:
The property is situated to the south of Botley Road between Botley and Curdridge. Access is taken directly from Botley Road via a clearly defined entrance (as marked on the site plan). The land sits in a mixed rural and semi-rural setting adjoining fields, hedges and nearby residential and equestrian properties, with Curdridge and its recreation ground close by to the east and further countryside and settlements including Shedfield, Wickham and Bishop’s Waltham within a short drive.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

Brook Meadow comprises approximately 3.50 acres (1.416 ha) of level grazing and paddock land, together with a useful range of stables, suitable for horses/ponies and other livestock, as well as general paddock use and haymaking.

The land forms a single, regularly shaped parcel of pasture, well contained by mature hedgerows and boundaries, and is shown on the attached site plan. It offers a practical and manageable acreage in an elevated/open setting typical of the local landscape, with the stable building providing immediate equestrian infrastructure, with the benefit of a concrete trackway access to the stables.

The timber stable block is of single-storey construction under a corrugated pitched roof and provides a run of loose boxes with front elevations in timber cladding, stable doors and windows, set on a hardstanding/yard area within the land. The building is well positioned for day-to-day use and complements the adjoining grazing.
The land is shown on the Soilscape of South West England and described as Soilscape 18, “slowly permeable seasonally wet slightly acid but base-rich loamy and clayey soils.”

The land has recently undergone a comprehensive programme of pasture improvement works, including sub-soiling, manure spreading, ploughing, cultivating, grass seeding, harrowing and rolling. These works have been carried out to improve the condition, productivity and long-term quality of the pasture, providing an excellent basis for grazing and general agricultural or equestrian use. Further grass seeding will be necessary after this very dry spring and summer weather.

SERVICES:
Metered mains water supply connected. Electricity available nearby.

LAND REGISTRY:
The land is registered with the Land Registry under part of Title No. HP427109.

LOCAL PLANNING AND COUNTY AUTHORITY:
Winchester City Council and Planning Authority - City Offices, Colebrook Street, Winchester SO23 9LJ and Hampshire County Council - The Castle, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 8UD.
