Set on a substantial circa 0.25-acre plot on the edge of the New Forest, this detached bungalow offers a rare redevelopment opportunity for a family or investor. A full planning application has been submitted to replace the existing bungalow with an executive home in excess of 2,500 sqft; full planning permission is expected in late Autumn 2025. The site benefits from two road access points, ample driveway parking, a large garage/workshop and direct proximity to forest walks and Ashurst station.
The existing house requires full modernisation or demolition and rebuild to realise the submitted scheme. Energy performance is currently low (EPC F) but the proposed designs emphasise modern, energy-efficient finishes. Buyers should note the plot is affected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) and the planning timetable means any redevelopment will be subject to approval timing.
This freehold, chain-free plot sits in a very affluent, low-crime area with excellent mobile and ultrafast broadband connectivity—appealing for remote working families and high-spec refurbishment buyers. Practical details include mains gas central heating, council tax band E, and no flooding risk. The position adjacent to the New Forest and local schools adds strong lifestyle appeal for families seeking space and easy access to nature.
