Bottle Lane, Hook, RG27

Blue House Farm offers buyers an exceptional level of flexibility in one of Hampshire’s most desirable rural settings. The property is currently arranged as a country house with surrounding farmland, presenting the opportunity for a comprehensive refurbishment to create a characterful family home set in 96 acres.

At the same time, full planning permission has been granted for a brand new neo-Georgian residence of over 8600 sq ft, complete with swimming pool, equestrian facilities including an indoor riding school, barns and beautifully landscaped grounds. Very few estates provide such a compelling dual option, allowing the buyer to choose the path that best suits their ambitions. Replacement dwelling scheme (23/02055/FUL)

A pool house with swimming pool offers leisure and wellness facilities, while an oak-framed four-bay garage with a one bed flat above provides additional accommodation.

Surrounding the principal house are formal landscaped gardens, a wildflower meadow, orchard and pond, all designed to harmonise with the surrounding countryside.
