Description

A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial parcel of attractive pasture land extending to approximately 7.118 acres, situated in a highly desirable semi-rural location on the edge of the historic market town of Bishop’s Waltham.

The land is gently undulating and predominantly laid to grass, bordered by established hedgerows and mature trees, offering a pleasing degree of natural screening and privacy. The attached aerial image highlights the excellent setting, with open countryside views while remaining conveniently close to local amenities and road networks.

Access is understood to be available from Rareridge Lane, and the land is well suited to a variety of agricultural, equestrian, amenity or lifestyle uses, subject to any necessary consents. The boundaries are clearly defined, and the parcel forms a practical and manageable block.

There is currently no planning permission on the land, and it is offered strictly as land only. Interested parties should make their own enquiries with the local planning authority regarding any future potential.

Located just outside Bishop’s Waltham, the land enjoys a peaceful rural setting while benefiting from proximity to the South Downs, the Meon Valley, and the wider Hampshire countryside. Bishop’s Waltham offers a range of shops, pubs, schools, and services, with Southampton, Winchester, and the south coast within reasonable travelling distance.

These details are prepared as a general guide only, and should not be relied upon as a basis to enter into a legal contract, or commit expenditure. An interested party should consult their own surveyor, solicitor or other professionals before committing themselves to any expenditure or other legal commitments.
